Get ready for the Glorious Twelfth

The expectation starts when the date is confirmed, sometime in the spring. Then comes the wait. Grouse shooting tends to create excitement like no other sport, perhaps because of the scarcity of opportunities, the thoughts of the beauty of the high moors, and the challenge grouse always pose. This combination, mixed with the anxieties of the ‘big occasion’, can be a heady mix. My usual opportunities for this expedition north come later in the season, at a time when I have already managed to lift my gun to pigeons decoying over the summer stubbles and braved early season trips to the foreshore. This year, however, there will be little opportunity for this preparation and confidence-building, as I’ll be venturing north for the first day of the season, the Glorious Twelfth. Despite being an experienced Shot, and an instructor myself, I am still a believer in the need for coaching; it is impossible to watch yourself, and a good coach will be able to pre-empt your faults and reverse bad habits before they become entrenched. Confidence plays a pivotal role in all forms of shooting and a coached session leaves me better prepared and mentally focused for this special day. Jeremy Bird is no ordinary coach. He has spent much of his life on the competitive international shooting circuit. A champion Olympic Skeet Shot, his career has resulted in many notable successes and records; representing England and Great Britain, he was the first British shooter ever to shoot 125/125 in competition, twice winner of the Home International and multiple international medal winner. Perhaps what makes him yet more amazing, in my eyes, is that he does this on top of his ‘day job’, farming cattle on his family’s Northumbrian hill farm. His love of the moor, of the grouse that live there and the shooting that preserves it all is deeply embedded. I also like his shooting philosophy; you do not improve your shooting to kill more grouse, you improve your shooting to kill grouse cleanly: a good shot is a humane shot. Over many discussions and much reflection of my previous performances among the heather, we highlighted areas to work on and put these into practice at the clay ground. Jeremy’s first point is that gaining confidence in your shooting position is essential to react correctly to the variety of shots you may be presented. He advises mapping out your safe arcs, carefully viewing where any flankers may be. Most shooters coming to the moors spend a lot of time shooting pheasants and are naturally hesitant to engage low, head-height grouse. Any tentativeness can impede the vital first movement to connect with these fast birds. Jeremy eyes up markers, be they stones of clumps of heather, all signifying specific ranges. These range markers then form visual cues as the drive proceeds, bracketing birds coming towards the butts, enabling better estimation of when to engage. He is an advocate of dry mounting before the drive gets underway; he emphasised that this involves …Continue reading »

65 things you didn't know about The Game Fair

To mark The Game Fair’s 65th anniversary, we have compiled a fun list of 65 things you may not know about the festival of the great British Countryside. This year, the hugely popular event is being held 28-30 July at Ragley Hall in Warwickshire. The event was originally co-founded by Colonel Sir John Ruggles-Brise, president of the Country Land Association (now the Country Land & Business Association) and Nigel Gray, a senior advisory consultant at the Imperial Chemical Industries Game Research Station, a forerunner for the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust. From 1958-2016, the event was known as ‘The CLA Game Fair’ while it was run by the CLA. It is now run by The National Game Fair and known simply as The Game Fair. The first ever Game Fair was held at Stetchworth Park in East Cambridgeshire with a budget of just £500, but it overran by £300. Entrance charges at the first Game Fair were modest; two shillings and sixpence per person (half-price for children, free for CLA members). There were just 55 exhibitors at the first event — today’s event attracts more than 1,000. This year, antique fishing tackle dealer Victor Bonutto is celebrating his 35th consecutive year exhibiting at The Game Fair. The total attendance at the first event was reported as 8,500, which exceeded all expectations. Fisherman’s Row did not feature at The Game Fair until the second event at Hackwood Park, Hampshire in 1959. It was the only time the Game Fair has ever used an artificially dug pond — every year since, existing lakes and rivers have been used. Long service medals were first awarded to gamekeepers at the Longleat event in 1962. The first person to fly in was the Duke of Gloucester, the event’s chairman, who flew in to Hackwood Park in 1959. In 1976, The Game Fair went to Wales for the first time, to Glanusk Park, Powys. That same year, HRH Prince Charles became the event’s new patron (following the death of the Duke of Gloucester in 1974). The first CLA Game Fair to be held in Scotland was at Blair Drummond, near Stirling, in 1964. It was organised and run by the Scottish Landowners’ Federation. The first event to suffer from serious traffic problems was held at Shotover, near Oxford, in 1965 — it hosted a record-breaking 41,000 people. The late Queen first attended The Game Fair in 1974, at Stratfield Saye in Berkshire — the same year that the Pugs & Drummers stand made its first appearance. The late Prince Philip once described the event as: “The most important shop window of our countryside.” Last year, the event was visited by The Princess Royal. Chatsworth was the first venue to be used more than once — the first time in 1966, followed by a repeat visit nearly a decade later in 1975. Over the years, the CLA worked hard to educate people about the danger of leaving dogs in cars — in 1999, 50 dogs a day …Continue reading »
