Shooting in Spain – the conundrum
Shooting in Spain has been so often talked about in whispered tones as something special and different, a real treat because of the perceived expense and something that perhaps only the very privileged do.

Special because of the quality of shooting but also because so often the weather is much more pleasurable, the pace of the shoot days is so relaxed due to the extended light and of course the food is so different and delicious. To sit amongst the trees in or out of the sunshine, enjoying tapas after a couple of superb drives is one of the great shooting experiences.
