An introductory day designed to give women a welcoming and practical introduction to game shooting. The day will cover:
• Safe gun handling, shooting techniques and simulated game targets.
• Shoot day etiquette, quarry identification and the role of game shooting in conservation and countryside management.
• What to expect on a first game day, including the roles of beaters, pickers-up and Guns, appropriate behaviour in the field, clothing and equipment, and how to find opportunities to get involved in shooting.
• A game-based lunch of pheasant fajitas, giving participants the opportunity to try game and learn about the importance of making full use of shot quarry.
• An introduction to game as a healthy, sustainable and versatile source of food, demonstrating how it can be incorporated into simple everyday meals.
The overall aim is to give women the knowledge, confidence and practical skills needed to take their first steps into game shooting safely and responsibly.
