Red
Leg Partridge Shooting
in Spain
We
are delighted to have teamed up with Alfonso Fabrés
to offer clients some of the finest red leg partridge shooting
available
in Spain, or
indeed
anywhere in the world.
For a line of up to nine Guns, Alfonso can provide
memorable days of driven partridges
with bags of 500 to 700 birds per day
The Location
Alfonso’s operation is situated in Northern Spain’s
vast province of Castilla Y Leon.
The Shooting
The shooting with Alfonso is done on a “double gun” basis
with each shooter using a pair of shotguns. Each Gun has the services of a
cargedor who
loads and a secretario who records the number of birds hit by the Gun and
where they fall, which could be five hundred metres into a vertical
valley.
As Alfonso controls over 30,000 acres of
shooting rights for driving partridge (and a variety of big game which are
often seen on the drives), no two drives
are alike. Due to the fact that each Gun draws a peg number in the morning
tomelot, the rotation system on a pre-established formula, this ensures that
he or she
shoots next to different guests and in new places on every drive.
Prices
We
recommend putting together a line of between 6 and 8 Guns or
trying to join a team to make up a
total line of no more
than
9 Guns.
The price for each bird is $40.00 for the first
500 birds, and after that it drops to $35.00 per bird. The charge per person,
per night, to include
all accommodation
costs, meals etc., is $425.00.
Dates for 2006:
January 1-12 and 17-28
February 1-5, 8 -11, 14-18, 21-28
March 1-4, 15-17, 20-23, 26-31

The
World’s Greatest Outdoor Sporting Event takes place in England
annually at the end of July. The CLA Game Fair attracts hundreds
of thousands of sporting enthusiasts over its three days of displays
and events.
Its sheer size and energy is overwhelming and the immense variety of shows, demonstrations
and exhibitors creates an infectious buzz that is not to be missed. |
There is something
for everyone to see and do! For the shotgun enthusiast, Gunmakers
Row is regarded
as the greatest gathering of English and Continental Gunmakers
in Europe. This fantastic line-up makes for an incredible selection
of Best Guns…regardless of your budget or preference.
Non-shooting
activities are in abundance! The show is laid out around a main
arena, with
the exhibitors’ tents creating streets that make up a colorful
Tented City spread over a hundred acres or more. Each street
has its own theme and flavor, covering every conceivable and
diverse
country pursuit, cookery, gardening, equestrian shows, from dogs
to donkeys and falcons to ferrets!
For 2005, I have put together a visit
to the UK organized around, and culminating in, the Game Fair.
This CLA Trip includes a variety of tours,
shows, exhibitions and sights. I will be your guide throughout the week, ensuring
everyone enjoys all that this fantastic
trip has to offer. For more details on Game Fair activities visit: www.gamefair.co.uk.
