SImulated Driven Days

Oakedge Shooting Ground provides the perfect setting for a friendly and relaxed simulated driven day. With its deep valleys and glorious scenery, it lends itself to some spectacular drives. From high-speed driven grouse, flighty partridge, to some very challenging pheasants and sneaky rabbits. 

What can I expect from a simulated day?

Participants generally arrive around 09.00-09.30 hours, to be greeted with a bacon cob with tea and coffee on tap. At 09.45 hours, you'll receive a run down of the day, including an explanation of the drives in use, the allocation to your shoot host, and a safety briefing. The day is based on four drives, each consisting of 100 clays per team of shooters. Teams shoot in rotation. Generally we work with teams of four guns.  Don't worry though if you are not a full team, we can sort out that on the day - single, pairs and threesomes can be catered for.

After two drives, we stop for a comfort break = tea, coffee and nibbles - an opportunity to have a chat with your fellow guns and, in the winter months, a welcome warm in front of the log burner! We then head out for the final two drives, before returning for a two-course shoot lunch in the lodge. This gives everyone a chance to discuss the morning's experiences.

We advise that you bring at least 250 cartridges (although cartridges can be purchased from the onsite shop = Shooting Sports (Oakedge), and asbestos hands as your barrels will be smoking!  Fibre or plastic wads are acceptable.  PLEASE NOTE - full PPE is essential (head, eyes and ears).

Please drop us an email to check on current cost per head.  Minimum number of shooters is 24.
