Purbeck shooting school has the capability to operate its simulated days from any suitable venue and we have all of the equipment plus an articulated lorry in which we can transport everything required to set up and run a simulated game day anywhere in the country. If you want us to set up a shoot on your own land click for details. Locally we use the Chaldon valleys which are about fifteen minutes away from the School. The Chaldon site is full of deep-sided valleys, hills and woodland, making it excellent terrain for shooting driven targets. The day begins at 9.15am, when we meet guests at a local Pub near the shoot. On arrival you will be greeted by the Shoot Captain and then escorted to the site. While enjoying a quick shot of Cherry Brandy or Sloe gin, you pair up and draw your peg numbers in the line. Your peg number changes on each drive, so you will experience several positions in the line throughout the day. Novices are paired up with experienced shooters but tuition and loan guns can also be supplied.
Then it's off to the first drive at the foot of a hill, where Pegs with numbers mark out your positions in the line. One pair of shooters is at each Peg, one shooting and one loading, spotting and hopefully offering advice to their partner. Each partner in the pair will have a shoot at the drive and the commencement, ceasefire and changeover is signalled with a whistle. The Shoot Captain walks the line during drives, to ensure that everyone gets plenty of targets.
Obviously you can shoot at your own pace but each shooter will probably shoot between 70-100 cartridges per drive at hundreds of clays being delivered by multiple traps, in a massive flurry that simulates a specific quarry such as partridge, pheasant, grouse, duck etc.
There are three drives in the morning and two drives in the afternoon, each at different locations, so that is between 350-500 targets. Fibre Cartridges will be on sale or you may bring your own. Drinks, refreshments and nibbles are served between each drive and while you're busy chatting and enjoying the day, the traps are being moved to the next drive. "You will shoot hundreds of cartridges at thousands of clays, for a fraction of the cost of a real game day. "This is a fantastic introduction to game shooting and invaluable all year round practice, for game and clay shooters alike." |

Each one of our specially designed Simulated trailers has three Pro-Matic traps, two standards at the front and one midi at the rear. Several trailers are operated by individual radio remotes and each of the traps is fitted with a stepper motor that can cycle, delivering clays in a 120° arc. Wherever possible the traps are hidden from view to make the day as natural as possible.
Each trap is very powerful and can deliver clays at frightening speeds but we start the day gently and work up to some absolute screamers and then finish with some fun. You are allowed to poach other people's birds but of course safety is paramount.
You are cordially invited to attend one of our Clay Pigeon Simulated Game Days. We have dates set in the diary that we are currently taking booking for but please register your interest and tell us what days you would prefer.
Click on Pictures The cost for the day is £150 plus cartridges per person. This includes coffee and a bacon roll at a local pub, snacks and nibbles during the shoot and a hot meal afterwards in mid afternoon back at the pub. Each day will have 10-16 shooters, so whether you are a single gun or a group we can accommodate you requirements. "Quite simply, the best day's shooting you will ever have!" |
