Wednesday, May 26th 2010
Dear Member Gun,
Here are some more great opportunities for full days and individual guns looking for shooting this coming season.
Hargham & Quidenham Estates Shoot, Norfolk
Days of 250 – 350 birds are available at the stunning Hargham & Quidenham Estates Shoot in Norfolk. The Shoot has abundant stocks of birds in its 8,500 acres where King Edward VII shot regularly at the beginning of the last century. The catering and hospitality are excellent. All food is freshly prepared using local produce and served in the warm and well appointed Lunch Hut.
There is a range of nearby accommodation including, for bookings of two nights or more, an Elizabethan moated manor for exclusive hire on a catered basis. This is a superb setting that can cost less than a good hotel.
Birds are £24 + VAT each up to 274 birds and £23 + VAT per bird for days exceeding 275 birds. For 300 and over bird days, loaders can be provided at no cost to assist the Guns.

Clovelly Shoot, Cornwall- Shooting with a difference!
Set in stunning scenery on the North Devon coast we have 250 to 500 bird days available for teams of 8/9 guns or single/ multiple guns on our back-to- back syndicate days.
We have some of the highest quality driven pheasants in the country competitively priced from £32 +VAT per bird. Previous guns have enjoyed champagne by the sea and a great welcome at the local hotel based on the quayside together with fantastic shooting.
We can also produce some slightly less challenging but equally enjoyable shooting for a variety of expertise and teams.
Some quotes from previous teams include:
“We came, we shot and Clovelly conquered, spectacular!”
“Exceeded expectations in every way– Pheasant shooting will never be the same again, best ever!”

The Minal Shoot, Wiltshire
Pheasant & Partridge shooting on the Wiltshire Downs in 2,000 acres of glorious shooting yet just 1½ hours from London, whose topography offers excellent sport with natural woodland, game covers and rolling farmlands.
Driven Mixed Days are of 150 to 350 birds from £30 +VAT per bird. Our popular syndicate has a few vacancies for guns during the season.
The Kings Walk Shoot, West Sussex
Pheasant & Partridge shooting on the South Downs near Midhurst over 2,000 acres of undulating land we can show spectacular birds. The shoot is steeped in history with many royal visitors over the years.
We offer full days as well as spaces for Individual guns. With Over 30,000 Pheasants and 10,000 Partridges released, we start with Partridge in September with mixed days in October and the rest of the season.
We meet at the Earl of March country pub and restaurant for breakfast. A full lunch is provided and cream teas are offered at the end of the day. We have guns available to join our Syndicate days on Saturday and Monday throughout the season. The cost is £29 per bird + VAT.
SHOOTING WEEKEND - 3rd to 5th December Tresanton, Cornwall
The Hotel Tresanton and the Caerhays Estate represent the best of Cornwall in terms of hospitality and country pursuits. Arrive at Tresanton on Friday afternoon for a cream tea. The journey to Caerhays on Saturday morning takes just over half an hour by car. Ladies may either join the shoot in the morning or later for lunch. On Saturday evening, drinks and dinner will be served in our private dining room.
The rate including accommodation, breakfast and dinner for 2 nights is £650 per couple or £520 for single occupancy. The shoot is £7,800 (incl. VAT) for 200 birds (additional birds at £33 plus VAT), minimum of 6 and maximum of 10 guns.

Other news
We won!
We are delighted to be able to say that last Thursday, GunsOnPegs was voted “Best Website” in the Shooting Industry Awards 2010. The category was judged on a number of factors including how useful the site is. We were up against some very tough competition but came out on top for the 2nd year in a row. We thank you all for your tremendous support and to those that voted for us.
Coincidentally, we are launching a new design in the coming weeks which should be a bit more pleasing on the eye and will allow us to take GunsOnPegs that step further.
Game Fairs
Some of you may have seen our plans for the CLA Game Fair (23rd-25th July) but if you haven't, there is a piece on our stand within the News section of the Shooting Gazette. We are essentially trying to bring the website to life through a large marquee in which 20 shoots will be exhibiting. We would therefore like to invite you along to see us, chat with the shoot owners and relax in our hospitality area.
We will also be at the Scottish Game fair at Scone Palace on 2nd-4th July, so do come along and see us as we look to increase the presence of GunsOnPegs in Scotland.
If there is anything more we can do, then please let us know as many of your comments and feedback have been taken into account with the upcoming design.
Best, James and Chris Horne.
P.S. There are 1085 days currently available on GunsOnPegs, the widest selection of shooting available anywhere! Have a look here.
