We offer simulated game days from mid-March until October.
We are able to cater for teams of between 10 and 16 guns, however, please do contact us to see what we can do for a smaller group size.
5 drives will be shot during the day – our aim is to replicate the experience and excitement of a real game shoot, with a wide variety of drives.
Guns work in pairs. We run each of the drives twice so one gun will shoot and the other will load, then you switch. This ensures that everyone is always involved throughout the day.
We are a small family run shoot and each and every team will be valued and looked after.
Food and drinks are supplied throughout the day; we serve breakfast, elevenses and a late lunch.
Cartridges can be purchased on the day or please feel to bring your own, however, these must be fibre wad (a 21g load is more than adequate).
On a typical day, you can expect to fire anywhere between 250 and 500 cartridges.
Eye, ear and head protection must be worn - spares will be available.
Hospitality
A bacon sandwich and tea & coffee is provided on arrival. After each drive, there will be time for a drink; both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are provided throughout the day.
At elevenses, we serve homemade nibbles such as sausage rolls, honey, and mustard cocktail sausages, brownies, and flapjack. Bubbles and sloe gin will also be provided.
For lunch, we will have a BBQ with an array of different salads.
If a guest has any specific dietary requirements, please do let us know and we will be happy to cater for them.
We are blessed with having lots of lovely hotels and restaurants nearby and we would be delighted to point you in the right direction.
Topography
We are very fortunate to have a mixture of steep hills, woodland, thick hedges and grassland; allowing us to offer a wide variety of drives. The topography lends itself to throwing some superb targets.
We use extremely powerful Bowman traps with a mixture of midi and standard clays.
About the hosts
The family run Yearsley Shoot provides simulated game shooting in the glorious North Yorkshire countryside.
The shoot is a family affair and each shooting team is made to feel like part of the family. Your day is hosted by Ed, whilst his father Jimbo oversees the trapping team and his mother Moragh is busy in the farmhouse kitchen cooking up some delectable treats for elevenses and a tasty, hearty lunch.
We are constantly striving to improve the shoot – we take inspiration from days out in the field, and from our guests and their experiences with us. On a day off you can often find Ed out with a trap, testing a new drive or trap location.

Mr. Lee Turner
Always a fantastic day at Yearsley, plenty of well thought out drives. Been a couple of times now and not shot the same drive! There is a huge selection of clays to be having a go at and to test yourself! Nice touch this year with a rabbit teams competition, even better my team won! :) Food and drink a plenty for the whole day, good selection of both soft and alcoholic drinks always available. Breakfast upon arrival, with tea and coffee. Elevenses nice selection of pies, sausages etc. End the day with a fantastic bit of lunch/dinner around the table. Hospitality is exceptional with the whole family involved and proper home made food! Great gun bus so you can be driven around all the drives as a team, enjoying the day rather than in individual cars. Defiantly gets everyone talking and having a good laugh (usually at each other). The Yearsley Shoot team are all great, Ed and the team will make sure you have a good day! See you all next year!

We arrived to a warm welcome from Ed our host and tea/coffee and a bacon sandwich. This was my first attempt at simulated game and i was not disappointed its fast and furious, loads of fun and everything you could want from a shoot. The hospitality was first class, my 18 year old grandson and I had a great day and can't wait to have another one. A big thank you to Ed and the team for a first class day
