Always ensure your clothes and boots are brand new, get a pair of B25’s and the best cartridges money can buy. Jump in your Range Rover sport in the hope that you get to drive it on mud for the first time. Meet up with the rest of your guests from the city and get pissed the night before the shoot. Turn up to the shoot and chat bollox to the keeper and your loader about high birds in Devon. An awkward conversation when your loader asks you what’s your favourite drive as he’s from Exmoor and works most of the shoots. Quickly answer imaginary mobile phone call. Take the shot glass from the keeper drink it then put it back along with 4 over experienced shots, your loader tells you your peg is on the bottom. Put your brand new zip wellies on and catch your socks in the zip. Look gutted when asked to climb on the gun bus knowing the Range won’t see any mud apart from the verges and puddles your will drive over on your way home to embellish your new country life style. Look blankly when the loader asks how you prefer the guns delivered, take your aim at the first drive and leave the safety on. The proceed to hit a bird so low a bayonet would have been better. Drink far too much between drives and tell the others about the right to left pair you nailed. Meanwhile the loaders will be discussing how mr Magoo could shoot better. The keeper will be concerned that targets are way off being met and orders 100 from yesterday to be put on the cart. Get back to the lodge for a fantastic dinner but leave early along with half the other guns as you have a long drive home. Never mind the rest of the shoot team will eat it. Of course leave the organiser to pay tips as you forgot the protocol. Of course a bit tongue in cheek but we have all met them 🤣

Getting dressed up to go shooting. They should introduce that here in North America.
Well, as they say up here in Canada, "We in the colonies have learned to rough it!"
