Devon Driven Clay Shooting
Come to Devon for a fabulous day of driven clay shooting, we use various Devon shooting estates around the south of Devon including but not exclusively Great Fulford, Ugbrooke Park, Warleigh Barton and Carswell, all completely different.
Your day will start with tea or coffee and a bacon roll and a safety briefing, we head out onto the land which may include a variety of steep valleys, country house lakes, open moorland, and even the English Channel at your back as you shoot over old parkland. We set up the shoot to give you the best driven pheasant and partridge drives possible.
There will be a minimum of four drives but often more than this, broken up with elevenses out in the field then back for a great lunch. You will easily use up to 500 fibre wad cartridges depending on how keen you get, and there will be 4000-5000 clays thrown by our Promatic and Bowman automatic traps and the wonderful Flurry launchers.
We can also arrange dinner and advise on local accommodation on Dartmoor. We can cater for parties of between eight and eighteen guns, whether a private party or a single gun you’ll be welcomed and assisted as you need.
If you would like a simulated game day on your land, just ask we can come to you.

Simulated Clay Game Explained
Teams
After two drives we stop for an early light lunch giving you a chance to take a breather, then we’re back out onto the farm to shoot the last two drives, these are usually much higher birds as you should have your eye in by now. As simulated game is so flexible we can tailor the day to suit your needs, if you want to shoot the morning or maybe in the summer start at lunchtime and go into the evening, finishing your great day out in the fabulous pubs or hotels in the area for dinner – the choice is yours. We can recommend various local eateries and places to stay, please see the Shoot & Stay page on this website for further information.
Different Experience
Guns - Clothing - Safety
As for clothing, many teams may normally wear shooting clothes i.e. breeks, shirt, tie, waistcoat etc to make the day feel more ‘real’, there is no necessity for this however especially as the weather will hopefully be warm! We would suggest that you wear whatever you’re comfortable in but sensible footwear is a must, walking boots or wellingtons and most importantly a hat and safety glasses and ear protection must be worn whilst in the gun line due to noise and the potential of clay fragments falling close by. If you forget to bring your eye and ear protection we do carry spares.
Whilst we’re on the subject of safety, the Keepers word is law – he or she is your ‘go to’ person and you will have been introduced at the beginning of the day. Any problems, queries or concerns should be addressed to this person. They will let you know when to start and stop shooting, will tell you where to stand and what’s happening next throughout the day.
Traps

Promatic Huntsman Simulated Clay Trailer
We have automatic traps only, the majority being Promatic and Laporte. The centrepiece is a Promatic Huntsman trailer with three traps all of which oscillate and produce random flushes. This in combination with other traps makes superb stands, showing you various speeds and sizes as we use standards and midi clays, and also throw in the odd looper.
With two front-linked traps that oscillate side to side, and a rear side to side standard trap, the Huntsman is ideal. With the use of the inbuilt flurries, you can simulate all of your favourite game birds such as pheasant, ducks and geese. Extend your season, make full use of the estate, train for the season ahead or train novice shooters, the Huntsman is the perfect machine for the keen Game shooter.
- Can throw up to 100 birds in 60 seconds
- 630 bird capacity with 20/40/60/80/100 bird inbuilt flurries
- 3 throwers, 2 side to sides (front), 1 side to side (rear)
- Flush radio included for Huntsman
