A great day for those hard working beaters!

Beaters' Day is coming!


After months of scrambling through trees, bushes and hedgerow, wading through mud and ice beaters get to the end of the season and the arrival of the long-awaited beaters’ day. Traditionally, it was the day that the estate owner gave to his gamekeeper to invite his friends along to shoot. It has changed over the years and the keepers’ day is now more often referred to as the beaters’ day.

It’s a great day to reward all the hard work that the beaters’ do all throughout the shooting season. A day where Legends may be forged, reputations might be left in tatters, but one thing is for sure: there will be men, ladies, boys and girls stood with a gun in their hands who have waited for the opportunity since the start of the season. They've earned it.

So if you’re hosting one of these great shooting days, make sure your wonderful beaters get the days shooting that they deserve and if you’re a beater getting ready for the big day click the image below to check out our Beaters’ Day Sale!



We hope everyone involved in this fantastic event has a successful shoot. We’d love to hear how the day went, so if you have any images or tales of your successes please add them to the comments section below.

The light is then converted into sound to allow the shooter to locate and aim at a target. Participants wear special headphones to hear the sound, which becomes more frequent the closer they are to the target. Field Target Shooting Field target shooting has been popular for several decades now and takes place outdoors i...
