The estate changed hands in February 2017. Its long standing owners ran a highly successful sporting shoot for almost 30 years. The quarry being partridge and pheasant. Rupert Martin, the new owner, has invested in the facilities and his new team, managed by Ian Baldock, have enhanced and improved the drives.

The team are offering early September partridge and mixed bag days of between 300-500 birds from mid October and smaller days in January. Loaders are recommended and can be arranged for you prior to the shoot day given adequate notice.

Award winning shoot

GunsOnPegs members were invited to nominate their favourite shoots in the first ever GunsOnPegs Shoot Awards. We are delighted to have been chosen as the Nation’s Favourite Shoot.

Guns on Pegs comment that “there are some shoots where everything comes together to create an absolutely epic day out shooting, that perfect combination of challenging shooting, great hosting and hospitality, perfect preparation and flawless execution. These shoots are the ones that stay in the memory for ever.

The people who nominated Lillycombe enthused about the excellent shooting on offer and the ongoing investment in the shoot, saying things like: “The presentation of birds is fantastic. I have shot here four times now and you can see continual investment in the shoot. The game keeper is also very good and supportive to relatively new game shooters,” while another praised the atmosphere: “It feels like a small family shoot despite running over 40 days a year.”
