Gunbelts are strongly recommended for all your cartridges. The party follow English Pointers and guns dismount to pursue a covey, once the dogs have gone on point. The birds are flushed by the dog handler when the guns are in position. Assistants accompany the party, tending the horses, assist with counting coveys and retrieving downed birds. The assistants also carry the bag and all spent cartridges should be handed to them.
Lunch is served at about midday when there is a natural decline in bird scent.
The shoot continues after lunch whereafter the descent begins back to the starting point. Shoots are guided by experienced guides who control the dogs. Coveys tend to be more spread out in this area, necessitating some hard riding up and down steep mountain slopes. It is important to try and keep up with your guide for maximum participation in the day's shooting. Guns are requested to adhere to this limit.
