Just found your channel and I love it. My uncle was a game keeper, not sadly passed away, and I spend all of my childhood, school years and up to a few years ago beating on shoots. Just about to renew my SG Certificate
They are to draw pegs. Each person shooting takes one and it tells them where in the line they will be. If there are 9 people shooting. There will be 9 coins. Usually number one stands on the left, then number two, all the way along to number 9. In England we then have ‘drives’ where the birds are pushed over different areas. Each time you move and area you change ‘peg’ and move number.
… continued… so if there are 9 guns you would move up 2. Which means if you drew peg 1 for drive 1. One drive 2 you would be number 3, then drive 3 you would be number 5 (usually around the middle where the birds flush from) and so on. It means that everyone gets time on the inside and outside of the line. Hope that helps.
Great time and fun
Wonderful steady dogs, and they work really well. Congratulations to you !

@@Wintercoombewe also have drives in Scotland and I’m pretty sure in wales and Ireland also 🥴
To be fair this is actually filmed in Scotland, I just put England out of habit because that’s where the bulk of my videos are from.
@@Wintercoombe Thank you. Quite helpful. Informative and fun to observe the hunting as well as pre- and post-hunt activities.
