Join us on Saturday 30th April for the ever popular Royal Berkshire Ladies Cup.
Whether you are an experienced shot or completely new to the sport, join us for an exhilarating morning of shooting with the chance to win some fabulous prizes including a Purdey fieldcoat, bespoke glasses from Edwards Eyewear, Schoffel clothing, Gamebore cartridges and much more. Once shooting has concluded, enjoy a gin & tonic on our manicured lawns and indulge in some retail therapy.
The Shooting
We are offering three categories of shooting to suit all levels of experience. Every category has some amazing prizes up for grabs for first, second and third place.
Novice Ladies £115.00
Novices are ladies who are very new to shooting or have never shot before. You’ll enjoy a fun introduction to the sport of clay shooting. Expert tuition will be given by our professional instructors and all equipment will be provided including shotgun, ammunition, clays and all necessary safety wear.
Intermediate Ladies £65.00
Intermediate Shots are those that can shoot competently and safely and do not need to be accompanied by an instructor. You will shoot an 80 ‘Bird’ Sporting Competition over a course that is designed to be fun but challenging too. You will need to provide your own cartridges and you are welcome to purchase them from us on the day (please note we are a fibre wad only ground).
The Serious Shots £65.00
This one is for ladies with a CPSA Classification of C or above. You’ll shoot an 80 separate ‘Bird’ Sporting Competition over an original and challenging course. You will need to provide your own cartridges and you are welcome to purchase them from us on the day (please note we are a fibre wad only ground).

- The Famous Purdey Grouse Sequence
Many of you have attended the Femmes Fatales Cup or Royal Berkshire Ladies Cup in past years and will have enjoyed shooting our unique grouse sequence. We are delighted to announce that this will, once again, be included within the 'Intermediate' and 'Serious Shot' 80 bird sporting competition. And, what is more, the RBSS are donating a beautiful limited edition Royal Berkshire/ Clare Haggas scarf to the top shot!
Double your score with Browning
Browning have very kindly provided us with some beautiful guns for our ladies to try on the day. These guns will be based on one of the stands and ladies will have the chance to shoot with a gun of their choosing and therefore double their score on that stand.
