What to wear in the field
It is etiquette and more comfortable to turn up for a shoot day being dressed correctly.
The dress code for most driven game shoots are collar and tie, breeks with long socks and gaiters. Ladies, if preferred, can wear a shoot skirt and we recommend a scarf.
If the weather is warm a shooting waistcoat, as this will offer some shoulder protection when shooting and give you comfortable sized pockets to hold cartridges. If cold or wet a suitable shooting coat, water proof, and fitted to allow you to swing and mount the gun correctly.
On the more formal shoots you may be expected to wear a hat, a tweed cap is recommended as this will allow you to wear headphones for ear protection.
Water proof ankle boots as you may well experience walking over rough ground or through long grass to your peg. Also, do remember to bring a pair of indoor shoes to wear at the lunch venue.Â
