Hertfordshire, United Kingdom
Highfield Farm shoot has been established about 15 years although not with the same landowner or shoot manager. The shoot comprises some 1500 acres mainly arable with about eight mixed wood areas and is split between two farms one east of Bassingbourn and the other west, both are well laid out to make the most of the prevailing wind direction. Our keeper Jake is well suited to the job with some 20yrs experience under his belt, the shoot is mainly pheasant with a few partridge to add some testing sport over the many hedgerows that dissect the shoot. Highfields is situated a few miles north of Royston set in some of north Hertfordshires best rolling countryside and not too far from the main A1 motorway and the M11 motorway. Each shoot day starts with light refreshments followed by a few drinks and light nibbles for elevensies , a two course lunch is provided and tea to end the day on, there are five to six drives on the day depending on the guns ability and wind conditions. The shoot has a full time syndicate shooting six days per season, last years average shot to bird ratio was six to one. Gundogs are very welcome. Ladies that wish to shoot or accompany their partners are more than welcome. Basic toilet facilities are available, we like to think that we are a friendly shoot and welcome beginners and the more experienced shot.
