Gun Hire & Cartridges

We can provide 12 or 20 bore over and under or side-by-sides available for hire throughout the season, either as individual guns or pairs (terms & conditions apply).

This is ideal for clients that may not have their own gun(s) or have the relevant Overseas UK Visitors Shotgun Permit or a UK Shotgun Certificate.

We also can supply 12 or 20 bore lead shot and non-toxic shot cartridges on a sale or return basis.

Please note that any plastic wad cartridges are not allowed.

In-Field Instruction & Loaders

New to shooting or looking to refine your skills? We can arrange for accredited and experienced instructors to assist you in the field.

Safety is paramount, therefore if any member of your team has not had at least 10 days of driven game shooting experience such persons must have an estate loader or instructor with them throughout the day.

If you are looking to tune up ahead of the shooting season or for an upcoming trip, our partners at Ian Coley Sporting can arrange expert instruction at their fantastic purpose-built facilities in Cheltenham.

On the day itself, we can arrange for a loader to assist you on your peg and take care of all your needs, including carrying your kit and transporting you throughout the day in a suitably equipped 4 x 4 if required.

Travel & Logistics

Our team are happy to help manage all the logistics of your trip, including booking UK & international flights, helicopter charters, airport/hotel transfers and accommodation to ensure a smooth and efficient shooting experience.

Looking to extend your trip? Our sister company Bailey Robinson can tailor make a luxury holiday experience to complement your time in the field.

Permits

UK Residents

All UK residents who own a shotgun and keep it in the UK must hold a current UK Shotgun Certificate. This must be obtained from your local police station and can take up to 3 months to process.

Visitors to the UK

Visitors to the UK (non-residents and non-UK passport holders) will require a Visitor’s Shotgun/Firearm Permit if you wish to bring, buy, or use a firearm/shotgun into the UK. The Permit allows the bearer to possess, use or purchase the shotgun(s) or firearm(s) specified. The Permit also allows the bearer to purchase, acquire or possess ammunition.

Whether you want to bring your own or hire from our selection of shotguns, Roxtons are happy to help arrange UK Visitor Permits on yours and your guest’s behalf. We can obtain Visitor Permits that are valid for up to 12 months, allowing for ease of travel in and out of the UK on shooting trips.

Insurance

Every gun must have third party liability insurance for up to £10,000,000, which Roxtons can offer with every booking if you do not have your own policy already in place.

We highly recommend investing in adverse weather insurance, in the unlikely possibility that your day must be cancelled due to inclement weather that make it unsafe to shoot, such as heavy fog or high winds. The decision to cancel will be taken in conjunction with the host owner and the head keeper by 11am on the day of the shoot.

Please note that if the decision has been made to cancel, shooting will not resume if the weather changes.

Adverse weather cancellation insurance must be booked a minimum 21 days prior to your shoot date, and our team can help arrange this for you.

For further details on pricing and terms & conditions regarding permits and insurance, contact Jess Hornby for further details on jess.hornby@roxtons.com.

Photography

Have all the action caught on camera by commissioning one of our recommended photographers. We work with some of the UK’s most renowned field sport photographers, available to attend your day and produce a collection of incredible images to be turned into prints, albums or digitals to download.

If you would like our team to arrange a photographer/videographer, please contact us.

Non-Shooting Guests & Special Requests

For non-shooting guests we can curate an exciting itinerary to suit their needs, including visits to the local area and attractions, spa days and wellness experiences or transport to activities further afield.

If you have any special requests to add a personal touch to your day, be it celebrating a milestone or tailoring the day to your team’s specific needs, we are more than happy to cater to any additional requirements.
