Set amidst 3,000 acres of stunning Mid-Wales countryside, the Powis Castle Shoot offers high-quality driven pheasant shooting in one of the most picturesque rural settings in the UK.
Positioned just west of Welshpool, the shoot operates within the rolling pastures, tree-lined valleys and open terrain surrounding the iconic historic castle. This combination of varied terrain and careful game management creates drives that are both sporting and rewarding.
Powis Castle Shoot provides exciting stand-up days with well-presented pheasants and the opportunity to book either single days or double days, catering for teams, groups or individual Guns looking for classic Welsh driven game sport.
A typical shoot day at Powis Castle starts with arrival and welcome refreshments before the morning briefing and peg draw. Once Guns are briefed, the party moves off to the first drive.
The day’s sport usually includes several driven shoots spaced throughout the morning and afternoon. Elevenses are taken in the field between drives, and a lunch break is arranged part-way through the day to refuel and review the morning’s sport.
Drives are set across the estate with a focus on presenting strong, testing pheasants against the backdrop of Mid-Wales hills and woodland. The format is traditional in style, carefully managed driven flighting with experienced keepers and beaters supporting the day’s shooting.
At the end of the final drive, Guns return to the hospitality area for refreshments and the opportunity to relax and discuss the day’s highlights before departure.
Hospitality on Powis Castle Shoot days is friendly and welcoming, with an emphasis on good food and congenial company.
Refreshments are provided throughout the day, beginning with morning drinks on arrival, elevenses in the field, and a hearty lunch mid-day to sustain participants for the afternoon’s sport.
The environment is relaxed yet professional, designed to complement the quality of the shooting itself. Whether you are shooting as a full team, a small group or as an individual, the hospitality adds to what is widely regarded as an enjoyable and memorable driven game experience in Mid-Wales.
