1-day of simulated game shooting for ten guests with overnight accommodation and hospitality provided by Bittescombe Lodge. This trip is available March-July 2024 only upon mutually agreed dates. Simulated game shooting replicates the tradition and formalities of a British driven shooting day, swapping the pheasants and partridges for clays. A team of 10 shooters plus non shooting guests (max 16 people) will enjoy over 5,000 clays during the course of the day. Each shooter will have a loader with guns and cartridges provided on the day. Each of the 4 drives, will recreate a different type of shooting; from driven grouse in traditional grouse butts to high driven Devon pheasants. This is exhilarating shooting for all abilities! Bittescombe Lodge is part of the Mandarin Oriental Exclusive Homes and features ten architecturally unique en-suite bedrooms. Each a corner of absolute luxury, designed and built without compromise. Hospitality throughout your visit is curated by in-house chefs with menus bespoke to satisfy your personal tastes. Vegetables and fruit are grown on site or sourced only from local producers. Deer, rare breed lamb and iron-age pigs are reared on the Estate. Bittescombe’s mission is to source all ingredients locally, from equally responsible producers: seafood from the Devon coast and trout from a nearby fishery to name but a few. Bittescombe Estate’s farming and cooking philosophies are based on a traditional way of life, where both land and animal are celebrated and treated with respect: a return to seasonal cooking and the skill to use every element of our produce. The living areas are spacious and elegant, yet intimate and comfortable. The Library, Sitting Room, Club and Old Cowshed are home to a collection of rare books, curated art and country house games all to be enjoyed in deep velvet sofas, cozy reading corners in front of warming log fires whilst teeming with toys: swimming pool, spa, gym, sauna, cinema, snooker table and so much more. Bittescombe Estate is home to all the best countryside pursuits: walking, riding, fishing and mountain biking/cycling. The Lodge sits at the heart of the West Country’s premier pheasant shoot. Nearby, tennis and polo are both available. Deer stalking, coastal trails and international golf courses are each within easy reach. DALLAS SAFARI CLUB THANKS F. BEESLEY FOR THIS 100% DONATION.
