“Of All the Paths You Take in Life, Make Sure a Few of Them Are Dirt”

At Carter Outdoor Pursuits, we believe that some of life’s most rewarding journeys take place far from tarmac roads. As John Muir famously said, “Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.” It’s a sentiment that resonates deeply within the shooting community.

Across the many shooting estates in the UK, individuals from all walks of life come together through a shared love for nature, countryside tradition, and the thrill of a day in the field. From young enthusiasts to seasoned guns, our community is as diverse as it is passionate.

Joining a shooting experience in the UK is about more than just sport. It’s about connection—with others, with the land, and with yourself. Standing in the early morning mist, hearing the call of birds overhead, and feeling the weight of your gun in hand—these moments remind us why we return, season after season.

Owner Nick Carter created Carter Outdoor Pursuits to share this passion. What began as a favour for friends has grown into one of the leading providers of shooting UK days, known for exceptional hospitality and unforgettable countryside experiences.

Whether you’re new to the sport or a lifelong shot, we welcome you to join us in the field. Let the dirt path lead you to something truly meaningful.
