Guns and Beaters together at the end of a Duck Drive. Melvin (far right) demonstrates how the Duck he has  just shot had at least one foot off of the water when he opened fire!

 Left: Derek appears to have a guilty conscience as he arrives at the Game Cart with his hands full of Ducks - he claimed he was carrying them for one our less agile guns?

Right: One of our young beaters and his dog get ready to start the last Pheasant Drive of the day.

The Guns gather at the end of a good days Pheasant Shooting. This is late December and it is the first wind and rain free Shooting day we have had this season.

A small part of my shoot in Teesdale, seen from across the valley.

Left, Sam with three Driven Ducks he shot on one drive in January 2007. Neighbouring guns commented that all three were very good shots and taken well with his 20g. Right is Sam back in December 06 with a Mallard he got on the last of three Duck drives. Sam had not shot well that day, lifting his head off the stock!

The two pictures above are of "the boss" shooting seriously high and testing Pheasants and Partridge at the world renowned Chargot Shoot.
