The accidental partridge shoot

Shoots never go quite the way you expect. Fieldsports Nation supporter Henry Darling didn't mean to set up a shoot. Not so soon, anyway. His family took over Place Farm, outside Norwich, a year ago. Henry got his rearing operation underway – and hoped that one day he might be shooting partridges on his land - but things didn’t go to plan…

Why shoot game birds?
Game is wild, natural and free range, and it is one of the healthiest meats available today. It is low in cholesterol and high in protein. Results from research commissioned by the Game-to-Eat campaign (Leatherhead Food International Research 2006) suggest that there are real health benefits to eating game. Both pheasant and partridge contain high levels of iron, protein, vitamin B(6) and selenium, which helps to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
In addition to the nutritional benefits of game, game shooting is worth £2 billion annually to the UK rural economy and supports 74,000 jobs. There are 480,000 (UK government figures) active game shooters in the UK who enjoy bird shooting under the principles of the Code of Good Shooting Practice.
More than 2 million hectares are actively managed for shooting in the UK creating proven (PACEC, 2014) conservation benefits and preserving important habitats for a diverse range of flora and fauna, in particular farmland birds. UK shooting providers spend £5.4 million on cover crop seeds every year and maintain over 25,000ha of wild-bird cover.

We’re proud to promote enjoyment of fieldsports and the countryside. There are three guiding principles to everything we do on Fieldsports Channel:
▶ Shoot responsibly
▶ Respect the quarry
▶ Ensure a humane, clean and quick kill

This is not the accidental partridge content I was looking for.

Lead has not been allowed in shotgun cartridges for more than a decade in Denmark. The Steel kills just fine. I am shooting both old side by sides and modern over and unders… no problems what so ever.

Been using steel shot for 30 years here in Canada. I always use #2 on duck and BB on Geese. No problem.

Very nice video, bro. I feel very happy.

Don't shoot much any more but used steel for doves for years and actually thought it was better. Just use two sizes larger and a choke one size more open. That's really important. But steel is faster and for upland game it kills stone dead.

That gun is unbelievably naf, sorry has to be said it should never be seen on a game day 😬

[michaelplank]

Out of interest how much does it cost to shoot there

[raybede]

Can’t recommend Phillip Webster enough, cracking gun smith

Steel is fine for low days like this but not for the high days. It’s not fair on the quarry.

[tomhman]

What fun. I am ready for some bird hunting.
