Pheasant drives are in full swing.
Smallacombe, its usual quality & revamped Lillybank showing great birds.
Pitcombe Head still beating the guns often shooting at 10 to 1.
Partridge are surprising us; 101 shot off Beggars Knapp today & a Lillycombe record of 221 off Oare Post.

[Lillycombe Sporting Club @LillycombeC]

Big changes in the weather at Lillycombe as we get ready to start our pheasants. Violent storms and 4 days of rain have unsettled our partridge.
We hope for some respite this week. Lucky we aren't on again until Friday.

[Lillycombe Sporting Club @LillycombeC]

Our season is underway with the partridge flying beautifully and the winds this week could make for some interesting sport. Guests are arriving in all sorts of transport.
