- We head up for a traditional day of driven game shooting with the team at Hadley Sporting on their Forthampton Shoot. The perfect weather made for a top day for fast and agile partridge and pheasants expertly driven by the team.
We took the opportunity of a quiet moment or two on peg to share some of why Driven Shooting looks the way it does today in the UK.
Enjoy

Honestly Johny, that was one of your best ever!
This was an absolute belter of a film. Great work on the story-telling and the format for delivery. 👏👏👏👏
Completely agree.
Jonny, after 11 months waiting, my licence arrived yesterday 🍾🍾🍾🍾 and I’ve bought a Miroku Trap MK38, I believe you’ll agree with my choice 🍾🍾🍾🍾😜
Congrats 🎉
What police area are you under, mine is 12 month wait time right now
I've got my Browning 's.

Hi Oliver
I’m in Suffolk, Ipswich to be precise, I understand they are really busy but I also think they are testing us for patience.
Good luck, Oliver hopefully will be soon.
🤞🤞🤞
Congratulations!!!
Game days are just the best day with friends, and dressing it tweeds is a must I think a part of the overall experience and a tradition that should not be lost !
Absolutely fantastic content as always on the best channel out there 👏
Great filming as always
Hope to say hello at BBS on Friday
" A cocktail party with guns". absolute heaven.
Shot on beaters day for the first time this year, absolutely amazing!
Thank you Jonny, I really enjoyed that. Living here in the States, what you're doing is a bucket list trip for my wife and me.
Fantastic cinemaphotography, music choices, historical overview - More!
This was your best in a while. It was storytelling.
Loved the history tutorial, the music tracks throughout the film, and the elevenses looked fantastic too! Cheers 🍷
I love this story-telling format for this video. So good and interesting. Also, I wish I could get Americans to wear the Tweed. I think it looks so cool.
I absolutely love your hat, can you share the make etc. Thank you so much for this content, bloody amazing shoot and information as per usual. Keep up the amazing work my friend 👍🏻
I’d say more like Wayne Rooney than Ross kemp🤣 great vid as always 👍
Watching your channel is not just a pleasure, it is a true cultural experience. Thank you for your creativity and efforts!🌎🫢🫠🪐
Well done johnny.great show!
I love your videos as always but finally realised how different hunts in France are compared to hunts in England.
Unbelievable show jonny best one so far. But there all good.
Think Simon commented one of the best ways of describing a shoot in an older video, an invite saying something along the lines of “come to lunch, bring a gun”
Great video Johnny! 👍
Muy fácinantes videos de cazeria amigos saludos chevre caza 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨
I loved the story!
Hi them steel shell hit hard
regards alan
Not at range they don’t! Steel may or may not be necessary, but it’s a huge step backwards ballistically. No matter what they try to tell us.
I had a day with my friends at a shoot near Longhorsley. Not far from Bywell. We had hot pie and mushy peas. As they say up here it was mint 😊
My thought on the Q about the British and driven game vs not many others doing it is twofold:
1.) History - cultural background and tradition, particularly tied to class structure and land ownership (see related thought in #2) in Britain.
2.) Land ownership - the USA as an example has much more public land designated for hunting and this structure supports more of a “go find and shoot what you can”…and here’s the key “with fair chase in mind and built into law” meaning you do need to do it yourself while utilizing hunting methods that provide the quarry a fair chase / chance. I suspect this is largely due to the limited quantities managed. If we all teamed up and did a driven shoot in every public field with birds we wouldn’t have any to shoot after a short period and/or the birds would all be living on private land.
Always said it...a good bird is a good bird irrespective of height
Can you talk about your choice of glasses, color, how does that hep you in that hunt/weather?
Nice.....good video👍
Would love links to all the kit:
Jacket/Pants
Gun bag
Glasses
Shell bag
Hearing protection
Boots
Ta, mate
Yeah I agree. That shell bag and coat were top shelf!
Don't worry about the power lines... FFS!
What choke are you using?
Who made your tweed coat?
Sooting steel shot, your max choke is limited to 1/2 choke. Can you shoot 50 yrd crosses with this?? Just a thought.
I was a bit disappointed that no filming of the main team, Beaters and Pickers up😢
Just wondering why, once the drive has started, you often stand with the gun broken and muzzles resting on your feet, a clay shooters habit?
Margaret Thatcher would disagree, but what a wonderful video
‘Not against a bit of Socialism…”. While driving a Land Rover, shooting a 10k SG, and drinking Champagne!
Isn’t Rose your new custom DT11? It’s not your favorite!
johnny, you need to come up with a fluorescent orange tweed for you American brethren I love your shooting coat but couldn't hunt in it because it is not orange. for me it is all about pointing dogs for wood cock and ruffed grouse with the occasional pheasant. driven pheasant however is a bucket list item.
What does a day like this cost?
These are big bucks. Several $K I do believe.
Depending on the bag will decide the cost of the day i don't know around there but up by me you'd be at min £60 a bird..
@@Nbstevens78that be about 1500 plus tips etc. even at 86 it still on my list. Just need to pick the right one terrain wise. Great video really enjoyed it. From North Carolina USA
Depends on the size of the day, having shot here last season I think it was around £48 per bird
Are the purple-colored glasses a fashion statement, or do they actually help?
They help oranges pop but I'm guessing he's not shooting at anything orange and it's just because he's got used to shooting with them a lot recently.
Also I believe they are a certain prescription he had specially done with ed.
Sorry Johnny, as you say a Yank, I really have a hard time understanding the attraction of shooting pheasant being driven into a line of shooters dressed in basically a business suit.
Might I respectfully offer another viewpoint. A British shooter would struggle to understand pheasants shot from a tower or waterfowling where nine guns empty three shot autos into a pack of duck or geese such that no one has the faintest idea as to exactly who shot what. After which everybody concerned whoops and hollers like an eight year old mainlining on sugar. Cultural differences. But imagine if you will, a line of English guns on a driven shoot whooping and yee hahing after every shot. Fascinating!
Walked up shooting is hard? The great thing about TH-cam comment section is filming it every week and getting free advice from the UK on how to do it better 😂
Why are there so many fake profiles / commenters now?
Bots!
Bots, but they are better than the ones that used to pretend to be us and offer people ‘free giveaways’
@ I’ll accept and agree with this response without pointing out, while pointing out, how it addresses and doesn’t address why bots are commenting in the first place…. ;)
A lot of bad hits?
Steel shot. It’s not good, no matter what they try to get us to believe. Pushing them faster doesn’t help either because the faster they are going the faster they slow down.
@ Well, might bee, but it was still a lot of injured birds. I had to stop watching.
Your channel is one of the best on TH-cam! The quality of the videos, the presentation of information - everything is at the highest level. Thank you so much for your hard work!👾🛵🐻
Every time I am convinced that your channel is one of the best! Thank you for the quality content and interesting videos.🧿🧨🛳
