The Heart of the Cotswolds - British Driven Pheasant Shooting

[@indyarrowhead1]

Great camera and production work. Excellent job Mr Carter

[@barnes0801]

Really very helpful information for a clay shooter who's never been on live quarry or experienced a shoot. Fantastic content as always!

[@MrAlanbooker]

From the first musical choice, then through-out, fantastic picks!

[@matthewdeepblue]

Is it odd that I watched this a month ago, because members get early access. But I'm really enjoying watching it again, because this time I'm just watching the scenery. It looks really harsh and really wonderful.

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

great job mt, that guns you longer stock and your gona nail it, loved the vid.

[@chrishickman9738]

another cracking vid, keep up the good work guys 👍

[@Some_kind_of_Steve]

Excellent films as always guys. The explanation on peg of etiquette, meaning and the discipline of the shoot was excellent. It taught me a fair few bits that I will use ahead of my first active season next year! Also that beretta…. Oft!

[@PaulByrne-wh5uv]

Imagine having to 'stuff your own' 🙄 You were properly spoiled in the Caribbean. Great production, again ! Really gives a sense of what the day is about.

[@dgoodman1484]

In a world full of tacticool, I find myself more and more interested in the history and tradition of fine sporting firearms and their use. Probably a few channels out there that represent my interest as well as yours does but I haven’t found them. Plus your production values are miles ahead of any so called reality show even on tv regardless of their budget. In my opinion you literally have the best visual entertainment of anything I’ve found. Well done! 👍🏼👍🏼 About all I could think of to improve the channel would be to add Lauryn Mark as a cohost occasionally 😁😉

[@birddogmi67]

That gun looks smooth!!!!.. 👌

[@timolson1681]

Another Fabulous piece of work, thank you for sharing! As a US viewer it is very interesting & educational to see this done. Really appreciate the etiquette.

[@darellkettley6622]

Exceptional video👌👏

[@iangrant18]

Brilliant vid, thank you 👍

[@chrisdainton9880]

Beautiful day! Thank you for sharing

[@matthewdeepblue]

Monday evening... And I finally got to watch this. I'm really enjoying it. Closest thing I can think in terms of the etiquette is a duck blind. Also though can't get over the drink before hunting, that's cuffs where I come from. I'll never get used to all of the country music while you guys are dressed like a country squire. So what do I know, I've only recently discovered that Cambridge is where I thought Oxford was, and I also thought Cambridge was where branberry was. You don't want to know where I thought Dartmoor was... That's what I get for listening to limericks.

[@matthewdeepblue]

4 hours & 15 minutes until lunch and I can watch this. Thanks for good lunch break you folks @ tgs

[@tgsoutdoors]

Our pleasure!

[@quikie1984]

Never shot driven game in my life but this raised the interest level substantially!

[@WhiteRoseShooting]

Looks like a cracking estate that! Great video again!

[@stu748r]

Can,t work out why Ben wasn't wearing his deck shoes.............

[@richardmatz6458]

Great shot, I enjoy watching driven shots. A lot different here in US.

[@CliveRees-ou2ir]

Fantastic video, Looks like you had a great day shooting, Very nice looking SL3.

[@parrisgeorge9708]

Johnny thank you and the team for yet another wonderful video.

[@tgsoutdoors]

Our pleasure!

[@LloydThomas-k8p]

Wow, a German Shepherd on the beating line!

[@adriantyler6911]

Fabulous film making, content and cinematography, superb! Brimpsfield is near Birdlip if any of you ever drive the A417, if so have you seen the devastation at the Air Balloon!! 😦 Shocking!

[@RedLeafRFO]

Absolutely Stunning 🙌👌.

[@nickhorten97]

The boy certainly can shoot!

[@jarrodsmith649]

Bloody brilliant I desperately need to do a day like this don’t have them available in guernsey 👍

[@hammyh1165]

Lovely film again 😊 I've been to two small driven shoots and never fired a shot and missed this season due to illness. I'll definitely be saving some pennies this year to do maybe two proper driven days . I've done plenty other shooting just not driven .

[@harmyb]

I'd really appreciate a full dedicated video to driven game for first timers!

[@harrymacleod6644]

Great job with bringing why we do this to life. I’m tuning back in because I’m slightly besotted with the keepers hat! Can anyone point me in the direction of whether we can buy one?

[@TedKu-te1xz]

I love brinpsfield park I’ve picked up there a few times this season and it’s a lovely estate must have missed you whilst you were there 😢 but love the content

[@davidtaylor8822]

I was beating on that shoot many years ago. Corporate day. We all had a laugh at them struggling to get their Range Rovers up that boggy hill.

[@dermotwalsh9662]

Great to see a gun who actually understands and thinks about his fellow guns when on peg. You don't have to pillow case everything, quite a few younger guns need educating on this subject.👍

[@BenBowen89]

and older guns too from my experience… 10:06 shooting the neighbours bird for show lol

[@dermotwalsh9662]

@@BenBowen89 it's all changed by the looks of it Ben.it would have been frowned on and you would have been spoken to for continually shooting other guns birds in my generation. As a guest and on a very small shoot it would still be pretty bad practice even today. Low long shots can also be quite dangerous 👍

[@leohaywood-farmer1662]

I used victory 24g 8's on pheasants and woodcock and for a 24g it was great

[@justdoingitjim7095]

I don't hunt pheasant here in the states, but in my younger years I did hunt ducks and dove. I always used a 12 gauge semi-auto for hunting, trap and skeet and considered myself to be a good wingshot. One day a friend came by and invited me to go dove hunting that afternoon, but my shotgun was at the gunsmith's shop getting a new extractor claw put in. My friend said no worries, he had an old goose gun he'd loan me. I said let's go! This gun was a single barrel break over, with a 36 inch barrel and a full choke! Not the most ideal gun for dove. I was never so humbled as I was that afternoon. The few birds that I did manage to scratch down were at close range and were pretty mangled up. One thing I did find out and was quite an eye opener for me. I was always rushing to get off that first shot and I'd miss and then slow down taking good aim for the second shot, which I kept forgetting that I didn't have with that gun. Thinking back I realized that I was making most of my hits on the second and third shot with my semi-auto. After that day I always tried to make the first shot count, as if I was still shooting that old single shot goose gun and my hit ratio went up considerably. You get your education where you find it, but first you have to recognize it when you see it!

[@Sams-valley-life]

A+ love these videos. It really is a great way to start my day

[@ShotawayFilms]

Nice part of the country.Fond memories of shoot days there at Foxcote. Classy 20 bore performed well.Still think uniform choking better for driven days especially with O/U..if self loading.

[@davidcoldicott8424]

Foxcote a beautiful estate on my back door, the head keeper at brimpsfield was Andrew woods years ago many happy times at brimpsfield Andrew, Graham and Jamie the underkeeper 👍👍

[@jpdorsethq1280]

@@davidcoldicott8424 Similar connection as I have been friends for many years with the current Guardians of Foxcote.I was a part of a team which loaded for the current owners of Foxcote and their friends before they bought the Estate which is where my association with the Foxcote project all began many moons ago now.

[@alexandresilva1523]

Congratulations on the video. You have to one day come to hunt in Argentina or Uruguay, it is a small hunting paradise

[@MichaelAnsell1842]

I’ve taken a lot from this film. I’m extremely interested with doing a game shoot, but I think I’ll be doing a simulated first. The etiquette of the shoot is what attracts me. But I don’t want to be that guy. All the gear and no idea.

[@Gary-bg6mc]

What glasses do you use and do you think they help you a lot

[@mattfritsche7281]

Love all you do, question would someone be looked down on if they brought a pump action 12 gauge?I always wanted to take my ithaca out to do this

[@Rattlecanjeff]

Barrel straightener!

[@pedrojsanchezalvarado5569]

Lindo lances 🇪🇨🇪🇨👍

[@doublem111]

What hearing protection do you use? A video on the different choices would be helpful

[@mjograus8800]

If you are '" nervous" to see if a 20 bore or even a 28 bore will do the job on a driven game day, (from my advanced years), I will say that you are way behind the curve and still a babe in arms. I believe that those who stick resolutely to the notion that a 12 bore is the most effective tool, is harbouring a self doubt about ability and seriously underestimating the capabilities of the smaller calibres. I speak from decades of live quarry shooting of all types.

[@benschmalspur3452]

Is it possible to book this?

[@Luke_148]

Im far too impoverished, and a bit too rough around the edges for game shooting, but this looked fantastic

[@PonderosaSoundStudio]

Fantastic video, and beautifully filmed and edited as always! I look forward to each and every one. May I ask: is there a "peak" period of the year in the UK when driven game shoots are held? I would imagine it is in part governed by the breeding and growth cycles of the birds, of course, but I'm wondering if there is a "season" as such for driven game shoots? If so, what are the peak months of the year?

[@nigelsmith186]

Partridges start in september. Pheasants in october. 1st february is the end of season for them.

[@baba-hx5td]

Do you still have your longthorne ?

[@Basti0017]

hey community, l'm on the way to buying a 308 or 300 rifle and would like to get a second opinion. browning x bolt speed, weatherby mark v hunter, model 307 meateater, bergara b-14. I like to shoot at long range, hunting, of course the weapon has to shoot well (precisely) and it should be long-lasting and not get hot too quickly

[@Apocalyptic656]

You forgot to say bloody gready Guns, no etiquette, always 1🤔

[@swanification1]

So how much does a day cost?

[@Bunduki]

Hello With gratitude payments to the bird drivers & picker-upers of dead birds + invitation fee onto the Estate, anywhere from £500 up.

[@the45er]

The Lord says "thou shalt not covet". Watching your videos like this really tax my ability to follow that commandment! LOL

[@stanleykrasinski1119]

What does it cost to shoot at one of these Estates?

[@JasonCullum-b2o]

Are we going to see ant back?
