Stewardship of the Countryside

We all need to play our part

Many estate and landowners are entering into mid- and higher-level stewardship schemes, but have little experience in how to gather evidence and manage the portfolios. ApexWWS are perfectly set up to assist in the initial gathering of data through to managing the portfolio and are able to provide advice and mitigations for the term of the agreement.

We care passionately about doing things properly and this is our approach to woodland and deer management. Everything we do is planned, safe, ethical and conducted as discreetly as possible. The reputation of the client is as important to us as our own.

Safe Shooting

Ethical, safe deer management

Over the years I have seen newer stalkers excitedly walking out of gun shops with a bag of parts and a new rifle over their shoulder, with very little idea what to do next, other than gather what they can from the Internet. We are passionate about mentoring and coaching stalkers, to be competent, confident and excited about their new role. 

If this describes you, get in touch for our rifle set-up sessions. This will get you confident and safe with your rifle assembly, care and cleaning. Then you will get competent and zeroed on the target at 100m.

Our Training arm is Apex Firearms Training. You will be looked after by qualified trainers (not just shooters who think they can teach) as well as NRA-qualified Range Conducting Officers (RCOs) who will give you relaxed coaching to get you shooting better in a safe environment on the Sussex South Downs.

Come to us for training in safety, rifle handling, basic shooting (100m) and pre-DSC1 / PDS1.

Our basic rifle safety and handling courses are accredited by LANTRA.

Once you are proficient, why not come along for some more advanced tutorials. We teach some of the finer points of shooting such as wind reading, shooting at elevation, reticule characteristics, adjusting for bullet drop at distance. We would expect you to be able to shoot consistently at 50m-300m from multiple positions after this course.

All are welcome (subject to legal exclusions)  but its probably worth noting that we are primarily shooting with deer management in mind. So, if you are already at a high standard and shooting flies off the target frame at 600m we would love to see you for some practice, but it won't be as testing as Diggle Ranges or WMS.
