Are you all competent shots Neil? The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us yet.

Jason this needs to be kept On topic, Shooting is dear to mine an quite a few peeps on this forum. Game shots really must earn the right to shoot quarry I stay away from most corporate shoots, because novice shots and game is so wrong in so many ways

 Agree Ken, to Hunt you need experience, or someone experienced with you. Not purely for safety, but the hunted's welfare. I for sure would'nt want a wounded animal scampering off to expire in suffering TBH

Sorry Neil, I'm with Ken on this. You'll struggle to find anywhere to shoot game as novices, unless you go on a commercial game shoot and individually pay for loaders/coaches. A commercial shoot will want a minimum of 150 bird day so could work out quite expensive.
Rabbit shooting may be a bit easier in regards to allowing you to shoot (usually with air rifles)but there is never a guarantee of them being about to shoot especially with 6 peoples worth of noise!
There was a survival type event planned on here for October I think which was how to prepare and cook game/rabbit etc. The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us yet.

NeiD,
I totally agree with the guys regarding experience. If your looking for a really good day out involving guns, why not considerer the Royal Shooting Grounds at Bisley. They can tailor a programme for your party, i.e a variety of guns/ long range target rifels in the morning, then an excellent (alcohol free) lunch followed by an incredable Clay shoot in the afternoon and all with experienced instructors, then followed up with a few drinks and dinner before you leave. Not a cheap day out but truly day to remember and it's right on your doorstep  On a mission to find the perfect Pork Pie. Just Found it (I think)..(Yes I have)

Have you thought of a simulated day, these are run on the lines of a proper driven shoot with the same stop for lunch and dinner etc. A lot of big shooting estates do it too - if you have enough money  You will need a few more people to shoot though and no matter how long you cook them clays are chewy
Ken and Snowy are spot on game shooting is not about shooting feathered targets and those of us that do it are likely to be touchy about it DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
