Shooting in the South West

The South West is unrivalled for its beautiful landscape and natural environment, creating the perfect shooting opportunity. Whether you are looking for rough, driven, deer stalking, or wildfowling we have it all, plus more.

Experience our traditional shooting sports and unearth our historic culture. The South West is a well known deer shooting destination offering, sika, red and muntjac to name a few. Game shooters can enjoy snipe, woodcock, pheasant and partridge including a host of clay and target practice sites to perfect your skill.

Why not spend the day hunting for your quarry in one of our stunning national parks, sample some of our local produce at a nearby country pub and complete your trip with a stay in a luxury Bed & Breakfast or country hotel.  It doesn't matter if you are new to shooting or looking for a challenging shoot, the South West offers a wide choice for all abilities.

Choose from a selection of shooting providers, syndicates, clubs, or agents you will be spoilt for choice. Remember some of the accommodation providers can organise shooting days for you or are close to nearby shooting grounds.

Providers

who offer Shooting

Ugbrooke Park Shoots

Ugbrooke is set in a serene Devon valley within Capability Brown parkland. The chain of lakes, woodland, copses and undulating hills provide pheasant (and duck) shooting of the most testing standard. Although unusual to offer duck on the same drive as pheasant, the gamekeeper of 46 years, Alan Easterbrook, takes great pride in providing high, sporting duck for the guns.

AA Shooting School

The Shooting School offers clay-shooting lessons for clients of all abilities - from complete beginners to shots wishing to improve or for those who just want to try the sport of clay shooting.

Gorcombe

Here at Gorcombe we now boast a fleet of some 70+ vehicles, more than 10 different activities, open 7 days a week with fulltime fully trained staff.
