What Insurance Do I Need for a Game Shoot?
No matter whether you’re running a game shoot for one person, or a group of twenty, having the right game shooting insurance is vital for a successful and smooth event. From large and established shooting clubs to small shoot syndicates on private estates, every shooting event should be properly covered by the right type of insurance to ensure your protection against the unexpected.
In this blog, we’ll cover what insurance you need for a game shoot of any size, and our recommendations as chartered insurance brokers.

What insurance for game shooting do I need?
What type of game shooting insurance you will need will depend on the size of your shoot, the size of the events you run, and what other services or assets you have.
For example, a large estate running large-scale commercial shoots will need more comprehensive game shooting insurance that covers larger sums than small shoot syndicates and groups. Smaller, less formal groups may not need as much cover for cancellations, tuition activity, directors & officers, or similar. However, no matter how small your shoot is, you will certainly need to be covered for many aspects regardless. Even the smallest shoots are best protected by public or environmental liability cover, and equipment insurance.
Making sure any equipment and all guns that are being used in a shoot are properly covered by your shooting insurance policy is vital. Not to mention, staying on the right side of all health and safety regulations when carrying out game shoots is paramount. If any of these are broken during a game shoot and you need to make a claim, this could be compromised.
