Happy faces

Amy-May and Alfie enjoying a day’s beating on their first season on the Ottenden Shoot, Kent the birds end up on the dinner table, and realise that meat doesn’t just come from a packet from the shops. This will allow them to make their own educated opinion on food when the time comes.

To aid with education Amy-May took a pheasant feather, photographs and a spent cartridge to her school for a

“show and tell” where each child tells the class what they have been doing that weekend. It went down really well with her classmates. Here’s to educating the next generation for shooting and conservation to flourish and prosper for years to come.

Ed – Well said, Mike. If more youngsters were introduced to shooting then they would become more familiar with where their food comes from.
