Young Shots Game Day 15th/16th Dec '08
We have lots of youngsters that have been shooting at our grounds for the past few years. Recently many have expressed an interest in game shooting - so we've decided to put a game shooting day together! But, not just 1 day, but a 2 day package!
The first day will be at our shooting grounds with our professional shooting instructors. They'll teach you the etiquette of game shooting and how to shoot game with the correct shooting style, as well as how a day’s game shooting works. This day will start at 9:30am and finish at approx. 4:30pm with a talk about game shooting at the end.
The second day will be at Waddesdon Manor Estate, Buckinghamshire. This is a charming shoot, set in undulating countryside with beautiful scenery and woodland which, we feel, is a good example of a professionally run game shoot.
You will have the opportunity to shoot 3 drives, beat 3 drives and pick up 3 drives giving you the chance to see exactly how a shoot works. We will have 3 drives then a break for sausages and
soup, followed by 3 more drives. Then lunch on the shoot and shoot some more drives. We'll finish at approximately 5:00pm.
This package is a special price of £229 (all inclusive.) It's open to boys and girls aged between 12 and 21 - but places are limited, so book your place early by ringing David on 01844 238 308

The History of The Schools Challenge
It has always been the policy of Doug and Shirley Florent to encourage newcomers to clay shooting.
They started Have-A-Go Days at The Oxford Gun Company once a month, with in excess of 17,000 people having now taken the opportunity to try the sport.
Also offering the Day Course, One-to-One Lessons and Young Shots' Days, more and more youngsters have been encouraged to take up clay shooting.
Their son David has followed in their footsteps - at the age of 15, at Bredon School, Tewkesbury, he started building a shooting ground for the pupils and staff.
From this he took a team of youngsters to the British Public Schools Championships (Nationals) which is entered by hundreds of children from prep. school age to senior school age, with Bredon's team coming a very pleasing 9th out of an amazing 345 entries!
David then encouraged the school to arrange competitions between Bredon and other local schools. It soon become apparent to David that a lot of schools (particularly schools for younger pupils) would benefit from the chance to shoot in a competition in the run-up to the Nationals.
The Schools Challenge was born! Within 2 years it grew far beyond expectations, with schools coming from all over the country.
We believe that this success has been because of David’s imaginative format and the generous support and sponsorship from both the gun trade and local business.
