Simulated Game

Simulated Game at Altcar Estate

To provide the full game shooting experience and to ensure that guns get the best from their driven days, we are offering simulated game days at the estate. This gives teams of shooters the opportunity to sharpen their skills, increase their accuracy and have some fun.


Guests will be taken to dedicated simulated game drives on the estates where flushes of up to 100 targets a minute will be released from our top of the range Promatic equipment.


We can promise that after a full day of simulated game that the guns will see a significant improvement in their shooting for the final days of partridge and pheasant.


Simulated Game Days 2023


We are very pleased to announce that we will be holding a number of simulated game days this summer at Altcar Estate.

Days are catered for a min of 12 people on the day, but can cater for up to 20 guns for individual gun days. We ask that individuals book in teams of 4 (4 guns make 1 team).

We can also cater for private group day/corporate day and can cater for up to 24 guns. 

We will offer dates to Altcar Estate guns, ahead of outwardly advertising to non syndicate members. 


For an idea of the day, please take a look at our video.


Teams

We ask that individuals book in teams of 4 (4 guns make 1 team). Guests on the day will load for each other on the drives. Clays will be counted, and a winning team will be announced at the end of the day. 


Please note: If the 12 person min. per day is not achieved on a given day (for individual dun days), then we will move the team to another date so that we can get as many guns on the day as possible. 


Schedule on the Day

We ask that guns arrive at Altcar Shoot lodge at 9am where tea & coffee will be served. At approx 9.30am, guns will be taken to the first drives in the gun bus. 


After the first 2 drives, we will break for refreshments in the field, ahead of the following 2 drives. At approx. midday, guns will be taken back to the lodge for lunch. 


Afternoon guns will be taken out to the last 2 drives of the day. Upon completion, we will return to the lodge to wait for the shoot results. Day usually ends at approx. 4pm. 


The Drives

There will be 6 drives in total on the day, consisting of pheasant, partridge, duck, grouse, pigeon and a mystery/miscellaneous. We are very unique as most simulated game venues offer 4-5 drives on a day. Each drive will present 200 targets to each team of 4, so approx. 50 clays per gun, per drive. 


Hospitality

There will be a number of days where we will offer full catering, that will take place on Thursdays and Saturdays. Attached is the simulated game menu. 

There is also a non catered option on Tuesdays, however tea & coffee will be provided at the lodge on these days. 


Price

Price is £200 per gun (not catered day) or £245 per gun (for catered day).

If you are attending a catered day, we will ask £200 for the shooting, with £45 to be paid to our resident chef directly.

Cartridges

Cartridges will be made available on the day - we will supply Rio 21g 7 1/2 fibre priced at £70 per slab inc. VAT (of 250 cartridges) or £7 per box of 25. 


We recommend that you have at least 250 cartridges per person on each day.


Health & Safety

We ask that all guns wear eye protection and head protection as there will be driven clays that can break and shard. We also ask guns to use ear protection.

We also recommend that guns use O/U guns rather than S/S as barrels can get very hot after the high amount of shooting. If you do prefer to use a S/S gun, then please wear gloves and/or use barrel heat protectors.
