Delaney & Sons
Tradition. Community. Adventure. Fun.
Our Mission is to provide American shooters with authentic driven shooting experiences focused on tradition, community, adventure and fun.
Fully immerse yourself in the tradition. We seek out traditional British and European driven shoots that embrace the shooting cultures of our host countries. Community for us is two fold. We have created a community of like-minded shooters who appreciate and enjoy the unique social camaraderie associated with driven shooting while embedding ourselves within our hosts’ local shooting community.
We help add a little more adventure to your life! Stepping off the plane, walking out to your peg, or shaking hands with the game keeper at the end of a “cracking” day, all help to create a week filled with adventure! Witnessing a new culture and tradition is fun! Engaging with old friends and making new ones in fun! Taking your love of shooting birds on an overseas adventure is fun! In short, Delaney & Sons is fun!
C Woodcock is a proud to offer our customers access to Delaney & Sons through our outstanding affiliate partner program.
Personalized Service
We truly believe that we provide a unique service to our teams of guns and their companions, and that we make you feel welcomed. We are not simply sporting agents…we are not outfitters…we provide unforgettable experiences. We don’t just send you overseas on an adventure, we take you on the adventure. And, we are with you every step of the way. Planning to arrive early and want to tour the workshops of the great gunmakers of England, Scotland, or Spain? Done. Want to stay late and learn how to spey cast for salmon on the actual River Spey? No problem. Dietary restrictions? Handled. Worried about traveling with your guns? Don’t. We have you covered. From the time of booking we maintain regular communications to make sure that we keep you informed about your trip, and to answer any requests.
Value
We focus on providing a valuable experience for our Teams of Guns. With high quality birds presented in diverse terrain, top shelf food, and excellent accommodations, you will want for nothing. Whether you are new to driven shooting or come every year (or more than once a year), you will find that no where else provides the authentic experience, cultural immersion, and value of driven shooting like Delaney & Sons.
No Hassle Experience
All you need to do is make it to your destination airport (Heathrow, Edinburgh, or Madrid) and we take it from there. You will be collected at the airport, transported to our home for the week, and looked after from that point forward. All hunting fees, lodging, food, permits, shooting insurance, ammunition, and drinks in the field are included. We have a range of vintage and modern shotguns for you to use, so there is no need for you to travel with your own gun (we will arrange for the proper travel permits if you do). The only exclusions are airfare, gratuities, a dedicated loader, and drinks in the evening (all alcohol is included in Spain).
Community
We couldn’t agree more. We shoot at upscale farming estates as well as shooting grounds frequented by royalty. Regardless of the venue, we encourage our guns to interact with the whole team; the keepers, the beaters, the dog handlers, and pickers-up are all essential. A day of driven shooting is a community affair, and not to be missed.

Scotland has long been a destination for the best in fieldsports, especially for those looking for remote and beautiful landscapes with a friendly and welcoming community. Driven shooting is offered in diverse habitats: wooded parkland, steep glens, rolling hills, and open moorland, and all levels of experience are accomodated. Hospitality is top-notch, and the accommodations are spectacular. The shooting lodges and castles are unforgettable. But Scotland isn’t all about driven shooting. Stalking is readily available, as is walked-up shooting and salmon fishing. And if you want to try all three, there is always The MacNab Challenge! For driven shooting, see below.

MOROCCO
Exotic Shooting Venue With Fast Paced Birds
The luxurious Riad Courrier Sud (our home for the week) lies in the heart of the Sous Valley in the middle of an orange grove under the watchful eye of the Atlas Mountains. The shooting estate, comprised of 3,000 hectares, is just a stunning landscape defined by hillsides, valleys, and ravines, providing the Barbary partridge with natural food sources from seed bearing shrubs, Argan trees and naturally growing herbs as well as ample cover. This is an amazing array of drives with different topography and presentations. In addition to driven shooting, the team will tour local sites and can add on a trip to Marrakech after shooting.
MACNAB CHALLENGE
What is a Macnab?
Stag. Grouse. Salmon. All In One Day
The challenge is simple, but very tall; land a salmon, put a grouse in the bag, and take a red stag off the hill…all between dawn and dusk on the same day. Success requires planning, perseverance, fitness, skill, and a healthy dose of luck. And one needs a team of ghillies, keepers, and stalkers working in unison to have a sporting chance. It is a truly unique blend of camaraderie, collaboration, and solitude. There is no guarantee of success, but there is definitely a guarantee of challenge and adventure.
GROUSE
The Pinnacle Of Driven Shooting
Come with us to experience the challenge of the fast flying red grouse. Typically, this endeavor comes with many barriers to entry. We work with Estates, Gamekeepers, and Shooting Coaches to remove those barriers, providing a seamless, never to be forgotten experience. Set in the breathtaking moorlands of the Yorkshire and Durham Dales, amongst the swaths of lilac heather, you will immerse yourself in tradition, excitement, and camaraderie.
