High Pheasant Shooting at the Upperwood Estate with Ian Harford
Спорт
Covering 5,000 acres in the Pennines and famed for its super high pheasant, the Upperwood shooting estate is home to some of the best sporting birds in Britain. Towering hillsides, magnificent scenery and spectacular typography offer an amazing day for everyone involved.

With windy conditions and the fog setting in, the first drive provided challenging birds as they appear from the clouds. Shooting into the fog can be pretty tricky, not only because the birds are difficult to spot but also you have to be careful about the backdrop. The mountain in front is pretty steep with beaters crossing and dogs working all the time. Not only do you have to pick the best birds flying over but you also have to ensure you're taking safe shots.
Familiar with shooting his AYA No1 Delux Ian's shotgun selection for this particular shoot is his Miroku MK60s with 32" barrels, which, Ian admits takes a little getting accustomed with. Judging distance, range, lead, and speed are all difficult when visibility is limited. A challenging start to the day but a very enjoyable one.
Martin Stretton "What an incredible finish to an incredible day. Shooting at Upperwood has been very special with some of the highest birds I have ever seen."
The Upperwood estate is a tremendous shoot. Not only has the day offered some truly brilliant and challenging pheasant shooting, it has been a real pleasure to spend time with a group of like minded people who have all come together to enjoy a fantastic day in the British countryside.

Delighted to see the old guys still with a great passion, Ian Harford is a perfect shooter.Thumbs up and regards from Multan Pakistan.
Great video, nice birds and great retrieves.
Upperwood is epic
You make some good quality well made hunting videos, I really enjoy watching them. Keep it coming. What load and shot size do you recommend for walked up pheasant hunting or general for pheasants?
Beautiful and on my doorstep

STEELSTORM84 where is it mate
What choke and cartridge combination were you using? I’m shooting here in a couple of weeks and I’m doubting my old faithful 1/4 and 1/2 and 32g 6 RC Sipes are going to do the job

it’s about 2 years to late but 1/4 and 1/2 will be fine just step up to a 32g 4 cartridge or something like 👍🏻
I'm not very good with a shotgun, I need to practice more to get the dove here in my area.
when was this filmed?
Have a few of your sponsors pulled out? Hull and Aya?

Strange question Fergus. No, AyA and Hull still generously support the series.

Fergus no problem mate. There are different levels of sponsorship, but all partners make a hugely valuable contribution to our films - without their support we couldn’t make them.
