Yeaveley Estate Limited, a prestigious Shooting Ground with nearly six decades of establishment, offers the esteemed discipline of English Sporting Clays. The estate boasts a wide variety of shooting stands that are thoughtfully varied to provide exciting challenges for shooters. A superb High Tower stands tall, offering challenging high birds, while custom-built Grouse Butts provide a unique shooting experience.
For individuals seeking to enhance their shooting skills, embark on a shooting hobby, or simply try their hand at the sport, Yeaveley Estate is committed to providing assistance and support. The layout of the estate is continuously upgraded to ensure a diverse range of shoots, featuring stands both in open areas and amidst the scenic woodland.
It is important to note that Yeaveley Estate strictly enforces the use of fibre wad only, prioritizing environmental sustainability. The estate utilizes ‘Springer’ style air rifles, which are traditionally employed in ‘Field Target’ air rifle shooting. Equipped with telescopic sights, these rifles enhance accuracy and precision.
The shooting experience at Yeaveley Estate is enriched by the implementation of metal ‘knock-down’ targets. These targets fall when struck in the designated ‘kill’ zone and can be reset by engaging an additional aiming disc attached to the target. This innovative system ensures continuous and safe shooting, eliminating the need for individuals to approach the range for resetting targets.
Targets can be set at various distances and scenarios, some of which may feature partial coverage by undergrowth, providing shooters with a range of difficulty levels to suit their preferences. Whether one chooses to tackle more challenging targets for higher scores or opt for easier ones, Yeaveley Estate offers an engaging and rewarding shooting experience.
