Walked-Up Shooting

William Powell Sporting is delighted to offer a fantastic variety of walked-up shooting ranging from walked up pheasant, partridge, duck and rabbit low ground “rough days” in the South of England to challenging walked up grouse shooting on the steep-sided faces of the Cairngorm mountains in the highlands of Scotland.

Walked Up shooting is incredibly popular, and we work hard to be able to present exciting and varied options for all types of quarry. Walked up days can either be shot traditionally with a team of guns walking in a parallel line shooting game as it flushes from cover in front of the line, or over dogs. When shooting over dogs, the team of guns walk the ground with the dog (usually a pointer/setter) quartering in front of them. Upon scenting the game, the dog goes onto “point” and stands motionless allowing the guns to come into position and shoot the game as it is flushed by the dog.

As a result of our direct involvement in the management of a number of low ground and grouse Estate’s, we are delighted to be able to tailor all walked up shooting to the precise requirements of each team. If walked up shooting is of interest, please do not hesitate to contact the team and we will be delighted to present bespoke options to you.
