Game shooting: driven days, walked-up shooting, high birds and estate guides
Driven game shooting at its best is one of the great tests of a shotgun shooter – high pheasants on a Welsh hillside, curling partridges over a Suffolk valley, grouse coming fast and low off a Scottish moor. The margins between a good shot and a missed bird are small, and the knowledge required to shoot well, behave well and get the most from a day in the field runs deeper than most beginners expect.
Fieldsports Journal’s game shooting pages cover driven and walked-up shooting across the full season: technique, etiquette, gun fit, cartridge selection, estate guides and the conservation story behind one of Britain’s most important rural industries. Contributors are experienced guns who have shot the great estates and the modest syndicate days with equal enthusiasm.
