Our European Course is named "BG's Blast" which consists of 10 butts (shooting stations) each suited for two gunners. These butts are laid out in a circle approximately 100 yards apart. At the center we have an elevated point from which the pheasants will be released, one at a time, in groups of 30. (picture a wooden wagon wheel with the bird release from the hub and the gunners situated around the wheel spokes)

At the end of each bird release hunters will rotate to the next shooting butt. This keeps things interesting, and assures that every gunner will have the opportunity to shoot from each station. This also will help ensure that you will get a chance to shoot from the "hot" stands. Handlers with trained gun dogs will be on hand to retrieve downed birds.

What we particularily like about BG's Blast is that the cover and topography of the site is outstanding, helping make each shooting butt unique. Hunters will have fast action pass-shooting opportunities on over-head, high flying birds, while some butts will allow you to see birds approach from a farther distance.

The event will begin with a continental breakfast served at 8:00 AM followed by a 50 clay bird warm up period for each gunner. At 10:00 AM hunters will be transported by wagon to BG's Blast. Our big Belgian horses Chuck and Tom will do the wagon pulling! After the hunt a grand meal will be ready for your dining and relaxation pleasure.

The cost per hunter is $295 which includes a release of 15 birds per hunter, continental breakfast, the clay bird warm up period and a super meal following the hunt. The shooting will be fast and furious, and hunters should expect to shoot 4-5 boxes of shells, and come prepared with as many excuses! We can accommodate from 10 to 20 guns in each shoot. These hunts have been filling and reservations are now being taken on a first come, first basis.

Harvested birds will be divided equally among all hunters in full feather.

Afternoon field hunts are included in the cost of the event, however if you need a handler and dog there is a separate charge for their professional service.

Our 2008-2009 European Event schedule will be posted soon. We also offer this hunts on a request basis for large groups and corporations.
