Driven Pheasant Shooting

"Hill Country High Birds" -- Driven Shooting in the Texas Hill Country by Shooting Sportsman Magazine

Driven Pheasant Shooting is a centuries-old style of shooting that combines European old-world traditions, beautiful landscapes, and challenging wing shots to create a “nirvana” of sorts for sporting shotgunners and gamebird hunting enthusiasts.

Still today, Driven Shooting experiences can be found throughout the UK, but have also become increasingly more popular and accessible in the US where shooters can experience this exciting style of shooting without having to spend the time, money, and endure the hassle of international travel.

Joshua Creek Ranch, in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, has been featuring European-style Driven Pheasant Shooting as part of its world-class wingshooting program since 1990.

Multiple drive sites for driven pheasant shooting have been developed all over the ranch. Rugged areas and elevations above the bottom lands are used to drive pheasants high over a line of shooters. Just imagine scores of iridescent, hard-flying, ringneck pheasant exploding from limestone bluffs and ridges then lifting high overhead to challenge shooters’ skills and instincts.
