Coraopolis, PA - In the tradition of a classic driven pheasant shoot, similar to those held on private estates in England, Scotland and Spain, the Ruffed Grouse Society (RGS) is sponsoring a driven pheasant and flighted mallard shoot at the Pawling Mountain Club (PMC), Pawling, New York on Saturday, November 14, 2009 beginning with a Continental breakfast and clays warm up at 9 a.m.
Considered the "sport of kings," this RGS all-inclusive shoot is limited to 18 guns, which will alternate between ring-neck pheasants and flighted mallards during the morning and afternoon sessions.
Accompanying guests are welcome to attend the game menu luncheon at 1 p.m. along with the following live and silent auctions for a variety of items, highlighted with the finest selection of quality firearms, artwork, trips and collectables at 2 p.m.
Located at 306 Penny Road PMC is bordered by a 1500-acre expanse of the Appalachian Trail National Park. The preserve offers ideal woodland and open field game cover unmarked by roads and traffic, making it ideal for this type of shooting experience.
Orchestrated by a "Gamekeeper", everyone involved works to show, shoot and retrieve great quality upland game birds, and a shared love of the countryside is sure to knit together all the participants in an atmosphere of camaraderie and banter on the day.
Limited overnight accommodations are available at PMC's spacious traditional country log home lodge.
Registration for this 400 pheasant and 400 mallard released shoot is $1,800 per gun, and registration is on a first come basis.
