Pheasant Shooting

Driven Pheasant Shooting Days with Shavesgreen Shooting Services

Driven pheasant shooting in the UK has sculpted the countryside over hundreds of years. Rolling downs and deep valleys are utilised along with game covers and woodlands to provide the best sport and ideal habitat.

Pheasants have been reared and released in Britain since the 18th century for sporting purposes, with the golden age being the late 19th and early 20th centuries when rearing methods and demand for volume sport coincided with the perfection of the modern shotgun. The pheasant, although an introduced species, has taken its place as one of Britain's most iconic birds.

Pheasant shooting days are increasingly popular with people from all walks of life and days range from a modest fifty bird bag to four and five hundred on some of the larger estates. Pheasants take over from partridges as the main quarry by late October and days are available through until the end of January.

For those seeking advice on pheasant shooting etiquette or game shooting in general we would be happy to offer this service prior to your day and can provide a qualified loader to accompany you and act as your personal guide for the day. Please contact us by telephone or visit our availability page for details of our upcoming events.
