The West London Shooting
School has run simulated game
days for over 12 years. Our
“Game Flyer Day” blends the
spirit of a days shooting in the
country with the thrill of clay
pigeon shooting.
The ‘season’ starts in April and
runs until August. We shoot at
the country’s most beautiful
and famous shooting estates:
Ashcombe (Wiltshire), Bereleigh
(Hampshire), Chavenage
(Gloucestershire), Great Tew
(Oxfordshire) and Kings Walden
(Hertfordshire).
It is a fraction of the price of
a game shoot and run exactly
like a real shoot, the only
difference is that you are
shooting clays. There are
eight pegs per drive,
with two guns per peg
who take it in turn to
shoot or load. The
day includes five
magical drives,
elevenses, lunch
and afternoon
tea.
Please call Jo Chauveau on (020) 8845 1377 or email [email protected]
for further information.

Hampshire countryside, Bereleigh
is close to Petersfield and enjoys
every aspect of a family shoot.
The estate’s terrain is perfect for
a Game Flyer Day with a mixture
of drives that will challenge all
abilities. Part of the charm of a

served in the house or outside in
the gardens.

of the dinning room. The Lowsley‐Williams family makes
everybody feel most welcome. The shoot itself has traditional
Partridge and Pheasant drives and a thrilling Woodland Drive

The
quintessential
English estate. Great
Tew is situated just ten miles
from Banbury and shows
a brilliant variety of drives
including ‘Cottenham Bank’ which is as good
a Parkland Pheasant drive as one could wish for.
The real thrill of Great Tew is the Driven Grouse at
‘Raven Hill Moor’…, a drive unique to both this estate
and to our Game Flyer Days. No other shoot has a full
line of 8 stone grouse butts which provide birds that are
challenging and exhilarating…with low coveys, fast pairs
and even birds going back across the line. All catering is
served in our stunning new shooting lodge.

hunting estate in the time of King Edward I.
There is an existing private game shoot of
some note and thus the terrain provides
the opportunity to present down land and
traditional partridge as well as high quality pheas‐
ants. We meet in the kitchen and return for lunch in the
dinning room as if you are family guests.
Finally, it is very easily accessible from London by car and
train (only 40 minutes from St Pancras).
