How the Syndicate Works
The Shooting SH Syndicate operates through two main types of stalking opportunities, giving members flexibility depending on their experience and preferences.
The first part of the syndicate is made up of land that the syndicate directly leases from farmers and landowners.
The second part of the syndicate provides access to discounted stalking opportunities with experienced estate deer managers across the UK.
Leased Stalking
Members can book stalking outings on ground directly leased by the syndicate from farmers and landowners.
On these areas, members organise their own outings, and any deer harvested belong to the stalker.
Each piece of ground includes a dedicated information page in the members area with maps, access points, parking locations, highseats and ground rules.
Subsidised Stalking
The syndicate also works with professional deer managers and estates across the UK, giving members access to guided stalking at discounted rates.
Each location includes information on the host, pricing and ground rules, and some outings may qualify for partial rebates through the syndicate.
This allows members to gain experience while stalking well-managed ground with knowledgeable hosts.

FAQs
Can I take a guest?
Members may bring a guest once per year, subject to approval from the Head Office (HO).
The guest must use the member’s rifle allocation for that outing and may share the member’s rifle where appropriate. The member must also ensure they have a dated letter confirming permission for their spouse, friend or relative to shoot under their membership for that day.
There is no additional fee for a guest outing, however this is offered on a trust basis and members are expected to follow the syndicate rules.
Do I need my own rifle and equipment?
Not necessarily. Some guided stalks can be conducted using estate rifles provided by the host deer manager.
What species of deer can be stalked?
Syndicate members have access to stalking opportunities for all 6 UK deer species.
On syndicate leased ground, members can stalk Roe, Muntjac, Sika and Red deer.
Through subsidised stalking opportunities, members can also access ground holding Fallow deer and Chinese Water Deer.
Species availability will depend on the ground, season and the type of outing booked.
Can beginners join the Syndicate?
Yes. The syndicate welcomes both experienced stalkers and those new to deer stalking. Guided stalks with experienced deer managers help new members build knowledge and experience. Many use the syndicate to gain practical stalking experience before or after completing qualifications such as DSC1 or PDS1.
Do I need a firearms licence (FAC) to join?
No. You can join the syndicate before you receive your FAC. Members waiting for their licence can still attend guided stalks with estate rifles and gain experience while going through the application process.
How do I book a stalking outing?
Members log into the syndicate website, choose the ground they want to stalk and book an available date using the calendar system.
What happens to deer taken on leased ground?
Any deer harvested on syndicate leased ground belongs to the member.
How do the subsidised stalks work?
The syndicate has partnerships with estate deer managers who offer guided stalking opportunities to members at discounted rates.
Some of these outings may qualify for partial rebates depending on the arrangement with the host.
How do I know the rules for each piece of ground?
Every stalking area has its own information page in the members area, explaining access, parking, highseat locations, rules and management guidance.
