About this deal

Beaters also use flags as flankers to try to move the birds to fly in the right direction. You may be given a radio to report on various stages of a drive, such as when you have reached a certain point, or have met up with another line. Communication plays a vital role in ensuring a shoot day runs well. Some keepers can get very stressed, some are quite chilled, but remember they have worked all year to provide the sport on a few days in the season and have a great personal investment in how a shoot day goes. New social horizons Over many discussions and much reflection of my previous performances among the heather, we highlighted areas to work on and put these into practice at the clay ground. Jeremy’s first point is that gaining confidence in your shooting position is essential to react correctly to the variety of shots you may be presented. He advises mapping out your safe arcs, carefully viewing where any flankers may be. Most shooters coming to the moors spend a lot of time shooting pheasants and are naturally hesitant to engage low, head-height grouse. Any tentativeness can impede the vital first movement to connect with these fast birds. If the item is rejected your item(s) will be returned to you along with a letter outlining the reason(s). Follow the directions you are given and don’t decide that you know better than the gamekeeper or shoot captain. If they ask you to do something new on a shoot you should never reply: “The last keeper here never did it like this” or “we don’t normally do it that way.” The gamekeeper is the captain and beaters need to follow directions if they are to play a useful role. Otherwise you may as well go home.

Dogs can also be used on the beating line, depending on the rules of the shoot. They will need to be steady and under control. The best beating dogs should have no interest in retrieving. Beaters cover huge distances over rough terrain to drive birds over the Guns – without them, the shoot wouldn’t happen Hardworking beaters And from the small level of detail to his process he offered us, it is clear to see how near and dear the art form is to him. If you are offered game then take it and cook it. (You’ll find some excellent pheasant recipes here.) I then print the design, which comes out on about 40 pieces of paper that I then have to tile together with sellotape. I then hand cut all the different elements with nothing more sophisticated than a pair of scissors and use these as stencils to mark my fabric.A succession of coveys came, and a succession of misses followed. Uncertain of why I was missing, I placed ever more lead on to the incoming birds, with still not a feather touched. Reactive second shots resulted in a brace of birds folding and dropping to the heather, saving my complete humiliation. Finally, a single bird followed the same line towards me. I straightened up in the butt, mounted to the bird well in front and before I knew it the shot was away, the bird dead in the air. I have never forgotten the shot, as it highlighted all that I had done wrong in those preceding it; I needed to take them early and really get in among it. When it comes to high maize crops ask your next-door neighbours where they are and adjust your position accordingly. To aid your faulty claim please can you ensure your item is clean before sending us photographs, as we use these photographs to create a claim on your behalf.

A team effort where the results speak for themselves, with each a “labour of love” – from commemorating title triumphs, and those soon to be, to the city of Liverpool itself. It was through a conversation with a group of ladies who regularly beat for a local syndicate shoot that I asked them if I could join them and they welcomed me.”Before all the meticulous work leads to the final product, however, an idea must first be born – from words, phrases, a rough sketch or even the vaguest of concepts. The powerful trap propelled the clay edge-on towards me, crossing to disappear low over my left shoulder. I hit the first few instinctively, but when Jeremy asked me to connect earlier, I attempted to measure it, slowing the muzzle speed and missing behind. I had an overwhelming temptation to look at the gun, which is disastrous. We worked on keeping the head still, eyes fixed upon the bird and having ‘muzzle awareness’ to be able to connect with the clay early. We use DHL for our international deliveries and a phone number is required for all overseas deliveries I have also heard the story — perhaps an urban legend — of a team of wealthy Guns visiting the UK for a few days’ shooting. Their loaders were basically their personal assistants for the duration of their stay, including driving, minding, loading and taking care of the guns. Upon departure,
one of the Guns — who had bought
a brand-new Range Rover for his stay — simply handed their loader the
keys of the 4×4 as their “tip”.
