High Peak Shooting – Pheasant, Grouse, Duck & Partridge Shooting Days

The High Peak Shoot has been further improved for the coming shooting season.

The 2007/8 season

Added Shooting Land

An extra 500 acres of shooting land has been added, giving nearly 6,000 acres in total. The additional land is valley woodland, creating even more spectacular shooting over the valley. The positioning of the guns has been improved and we have arranged for transportation of the guns between drives.

French & Polish Pheasant

We have modified the drives to suit the characteristics of the birds we are using.
We have added Polish and French birds which have different flying characteristics to the English birds, to give extremely challenging shooting. The French and Polish pheasant prefer to take off vertically and fly even higher whereas the English pheasant will run forward to the end of the drive, to the flushing point. This gives shooting from the start of the drive right through to the end.

Grouse Shooting

We are expecting a good grouse shooting season in 2007/8, helped by the extremely favourable spring weather. We are expecting many grouse to be available on August 12th. We will be putting extra birds down to allow more shooting days this year.
