Located a little over an hour from Birmingham in the beautiful Shropshire countryside, lies one of England’s prettiest shooting estates – Davenport House. This quintessential English estate has a renowned game shoot that has provided excellent shooting for several decades.
David Beardsmore Shooting offers a selection of simulated days, at several exclusive country estates set in the stunning rolling countryside of Shropshire & Worcestershire. Experience all the thrill and excitement of a driven shooting day without the feathers and at a fraction of the cost!
Set amongst ideal shooting country, with truly spectacular Shropshire & Worcestershire scenery. Our clay pigeon shooting days offer your party of 16 guns a complete and unforgettable simulated game experience. Our drives consist of Grouse, Partridge, Duck, Pigeon and high Pheasant. Come and shoot our sim game drives and test your shooting skills, this really is the nearest you will come to driven game shooting.
Our aim is to simulate as closely as possible, the flight pattern of pheasant, partridge, ducks and even pigeon. Maybe even a cheeky bolting rabbit!
A typical simulated game shooting day begins with guests meeting for breakfast where you will enjoy a bacon roll (or two) with tea and coffee. Depending upon which estates we are shooting at, this may be at the main house, a shoot lodge or a country pub.
Once we have finished breakfast the shoot host will discuss the day with you and explain all of the safety features. Don’t worry if you haven’t shot on a sim day before, we will have staff on hand to assist and advise you.
We set out for the first of two-morning drives and enjoy drinks and nibbles between each drive. We then head back to the house or lodge for a brilliant lunch and return to the field for two more drives and conclude the day with more drinks and nibbles.
We run each of the drives twice so one guest will shoot and the other will load, then you switch. This ensures that everyone is always involved throughout the day!
Each Gun can expect to shoot about 350/500 cartridges a day, many more if you are keen on poaching!
No plastic wad on any of our CGUK shoots, please.
