Last Tuesday saw the Countryside Alliance Charity Draw day at Miltons on Exmoor. 

Having experienced several estates throughout Eastern Europe over the last few years, with mixed success, it was with nervous anticipation that I took a team of experienced British Guns to shoot on the Konopiste Estate in early November. The Estate has developed an excellent reputation over the years and I had heard many good reports from clients on the quality of sport they offered.

It is with great anticipation that guns get ready for the start of the grouse shooting season on the 12^th August and we’re delighted to report that this year has not disappointed. 

The Countryside Alliance Gun Draw has been won by Mr Barry Green from Alcester in Warwickshire. The draw, for a 300 bird day for eight guns at one of Roxtons’ premier shoots, was made at the CLA Game Fair by Countryside Alliance Chief Executive Alice Barnard and Roxtons Director of Shooting John Duncan

It is with great sadness we report that our old friend and colleague, Francis Holdsworth-Hunt has passed away.

We had an outstanding season of driven partridges in 2010/11 with some exceptional days on a number of estates in Spain. The Roxtons portfolio of estates has continued to grow and we feel that we now offer the very best partridge shooting available in Spain to suit all of our clients’ requirements.

Due to a cancellation we have a fabulous mixed sporting week available commencing 19th September 2011 at the Bighouse Estate in Sutherland.

After a tricky 2009-10 Season in terms of bookings, the market picked up enormously this year which resulted in many late bookers being disappointed that they couldn’t get the days they wanted.
