About duck shooting in shropshire

The key aspect is whether the duck are reared or wild as the style of shooting varies somewhat. Many driven duck shoots will rely upon a large reared stock whereas duck flighting for wild duck relies upon fieldcraft and luck. The most common species is mallard but when shooting wild duck, wigeon and teal will make up a large part of the bag.

Leaton Knolls

Leaton Knolls Shoot is located just outside Shrewsbury and under an hour from Birmingham. The shoot covers the Leaton Knolls estate that is approximately 1500 acres. It is made up of a fantastic mixture of woodlands that snake along the steep banks of the river Severn. The main wood land then splits off into 3 other wooded valleys that offer perfect topography for Pheasant and Partridge shooting. Across the estate and either sides of the wooded valleys are nearly 40 acres game covers. These allow the land really to do the work, and catapult the pheasants and partridge. Some off the best know drives are The Dingle, The Spine,Sawmills, and Pig Run Knoll. We are able to provide days from 100 to 200+ birds. The earlier days start off with a high percentage of Partridge  and then move onto a mix of pheasant drives as the season progresses. We are flexible to weekday shoots and Saturdays and can accommodate 7 to 9 guns in a team. We also run our sister Shoot, Berwick Estate next door where we farm and can therefore offer back to back days, this is similar ground with a lot of game covers producing exciting partridge drives. We also will be offering more informal days with smaller bags, we are blessed with a great mix of habitats this allows for a great variety of species. These days can be tailored to your needs as an individual or group. These days could also include an evening wildfowling with species such as teal, geese, or mallard to name a few. Non shooting guests and dogs are welcome. Most drives are in easy walking distance, however if required a 4X4 mule can be provided. We can offer local  B&B for travelling guns. The B&B has been voted by Countryfile, in the top 10 farmstay’s in the UK for a rural break. We have a variety of dates and bags available listed below if you would prefer to shoot on a weekday there is no problem with tweaking dates to suit the team.
