Voted one of Britain's top 20 best shoots by the Shooting Gazette.
Exciting driven red legs, greys and pheasants Excellent shoot lodge at the heart of the shoot with warm and generous hospitality. All days run by enthusiastic owner. The shoot is located 90 miles from London - 5 mins off the A303. The shoot is capable of showing a wide range of drives to test differing teams of guns where mixed days can be shot until the end of the season. Signature drives include Chalkpit, Furze hedge or Devils bank for Partridge or Juniper.The L and Fir Drove for Pheasants. All Drives are mixed. Single or double guns maybe used depending on bag size required.
Teffont Magna is situated between Salisbury and Shaftesbury in some of England's most secluded and stunning countryside. Neighbouring shoots include Stockton, Prescombe and Gurston Down.
The renowned Teffont Magna Estate is located south west from Stonehenge between Salisbury and Shaftesbury. The estate is set in 3,500 acres of beautiful rolling downland ideal for some fantastic partridge shooting in September and has valleys topped with purpose managed woodland for pheasant and partridge shooting later in the season. The owner and shoot host is Ed Waddington. He will be with the guns on the day driving the team from drive to drive. Ed's days are well-known for superb presentation of driven red legs, greys & pheasant.
Guns meet in a charming converted barn just down the road from the main farm house. Pegs are drawn from the bottom of slow-gin glasses, and the guns travel around the shoot on the estate’s converted army lorry (It’s smarter than we make it sound!).
Teffont has sufficient variety to ease less experienced guns into the day but experts can get straight into some of the more challenging drives.
By lunch every peg will have had plenty of testing shooting, and if teams are not shooting through the last drive is always one to remember.
Teffont is a firm favourite - cracking shooting combined with a warm, enthusiastic welcome.
Excellent hotels and local pubs are well used by guns including The Beckford Arms at Fonthill and Teffont House Hotel in Teffont Evias, both just minutes away from the shoot.
Hospitality
Drinks and nibbles (pheasant scotch eggs and chicken and ham pies etc) mid morning followed by canapes and locally sourced traditional lunch in the shoot room. All drinks and refreshments are included throughout the day.
Topography
This is beautiful part of the UK and the traditional feel of the thatched village only adds to the enjoyment of the day. It’s a shoot that guarantees to put a smile on the face of all who tread there.
Conservation Efforts
The shoot is currently in high and mid tier stewardship schemes growing a wide mix of conservation crops including bumblebird mixes alongside wild bird food and clover areas help pollinators, insects and farmland birds alike. Thousands of metres of new hedgerows have been planted and several new woods established alongside a newly created pond which makes this a exciting for place flora and fauna.
About the hosts

What a fantastic day, Ed the host was just amazing, such a relaxed and enjoyable day. This was a 200 bird partridge day with five drives and excellent shooting in the bight and sunny conditions with a gentle breeze, transported round in the gun bus all day. It was so nice to be able to just relax and enjoy the day, nothing was rushed and we received what was promised, a great day, can't wait to return, many thanks to Ed, Richard and your team.
