Today we're at the stunning grounds of Eastnor Castle.
And by kind permisson of the Hervey Bathurst family.
And today is all about having a fantastic day clay shooting,
whilst also hopefully raising lots of money for disadvantaged young people.
We've got about 120 people who are very interested in fieldsports,
clay shooting in particular.
They will spend the morning roaming the sites of Eastnor Castle
and there are five drives, each strategically positioned to offer different typography
and each drive will simulate a different type of flight of game bird.
I brought a team of people here to try and support the Princes Trust.
I think it's a fantastic charity that we all need to support.
It's a great location here,
the team here always do a fantastic job.
Particularly the organizers,
Dillion and his team at Robarks, do a fantastic job.
And just having fun really and it's a great charity to support.
I'm James Stewart, I'm here today with Longthorne Guns
with the Princes Trust. We are letting the good people try the guns as they shoot to earn money for the Princes Trust.
It's been a really good day,
a lot of people have tried the guns the today.
I think we've had about 130 people through the stands today.
So we properly loaded and shot about 2000, 2500 cartridges for each gun today.
A lot of people have enjoyed it,
it's hard work for them,
it's an usual set up for them, having to shoot so much
It's very enjoyable, it's nice to see people trying the guns.
The guns have performed really well
and we've enjoyed ourselves.
It's really lovely to have gun manufacturers here.
We've got Longthorne here, I've just tired one of the guns
which is superb to be able to give it a go before you buy one
and go shoot with it.
I think it's really important
for people to try our guns, because they shoot so totally differently to anything else available.
They have very little recoil, very little muzzle flip,
it's only by letting people shoot them that they can see that for themselves.
People recations to our guns are genuinely are very very positive.
The more guns that get out their basically the more people try them and learn about how nice they are too shoot.
I came here today to shoot,
to compete,
have a laugh, raise some money for the Princes Trust.
Which I think we have done very well, the number of fines that we've had imposed upon us.
We think we won.
Which we properly haven't.
It's been very very good, well organized and a great day out.
The Princes Trust was set up in 1976 by his royal highness the Prince of Wales.
So we're almost approching the 40th year.
We specifically support disadvantaged young people from the ages of 13-30.
We ultimately help them go from a bad place in their life to a better place.
My name is Keia,
I'm here today to give a speech about the Prince's Trust and how they've helped me
Well, I went through some troubles growing up,
and I was referred to the teen programme.
It's about personal development and team building.
And then once I completed that I managed to change my life around.
These sorts of events are all about bringing friends together.
Often that you see in the shooting season.
It's a lot of fun, a lot of leg pulling,
but it's a good event to catch up with friends and enjoy yourself really.
So it's been a fantastic day of shooting.
We're hugely grateful to our guests, our sponsors and of course the venue.
If you're interested to find more about the Princes Trust I'd encourge you all to look at our website
and find out more and if you're interested in supporting we'd be hugely grateful.
