That’s the one thing I really like about this shoot is the amount of kids that come, not just to beat but to shoot as well ( under supervision ) there’s not many kids about that you can get out the house in all weather at 6 in the morning, so we need to look after this lot

A word of warning . Make sure the kids are warm and dry , make sure they have good clothes to keep them that way . My youngest daughter used to be keen until she got soaked and cold . Never been out since .

I get like that, I’m grumpy if I’m cold, wet or hungry

I can be grumpy without being cold and wet!

Second day on the shoot and a good day was had by all, 47 pheasants and 3 woodies, still some low flyers so you have to pick your birds, took longshanx for his first go at driven game and he bagged himself a brace so smiles all round

Had a fantastic day, great people and some great shooting. 

The smell of gun powder in the air and birds dropping. The dogs worked brilliantly.

Thanks for taking me along Stavross, loved every minute

Glad you enjoyed it, it’s a bit different to tramping across muddy fields with me chasing them ginger terrorists, it makes it a good day when everyone gets a bit of shooting and get a long enjoying the day together
