Press
You don’t have to take our word for it. Blixt & Co press coverage now runs to nearly two decades, from Town & Country and Garden & Gun to Gray’s Sporting Journal, Shooting Sportsman and Britain’s own Shooting Gazette — all of it on the traditional driven shooting we run on our estates in Teton Valley, Idaho.
Blixt & Co press coverage, 2008 to today
Town & Country on how driven shooting, a sport with centuries of tradition behind it in Britain and Spain, has taken hold in the American West, and on Blixt & Co’s part in bringing it here.
It’s a sport beloved by kings and queens, one with centuries of tradition for which participants wear custom-made tweeds and tromp across acres of meticulously tended land. Enthusiasts from around the globe will mention one destination where they want to raise their shotguns and take aim—and it’s in Idaho.

FIELD OF DREAMS
Garden & Gun Magazine
Garden & Gun spent a day on the line at Blixt and traced how Lars and Jennifer Magnusson built a European-style driven shoot in Idaho, English gamekeepers and British Labradors included, beginning in the teeth of the 2008 recession.
What sticks with me most from the shoot is that the human brain doesn’t record the misses. In my mind I can only play back those impossible moments of serendipity when lead cloud and partridge reach the same patch of empty sky at exactly the same instant. Standing at that first peg, it occurs to me that driven shooting is both decadent and highly addictive. It essentially allows you to distill what might normally be an entire season’s worth of wing shooting into thirty minutes.

Blixt & Holt’s to Hold US Auction

Fowl Play
Bruce Leonard describes why Blixt & Co is different than any other commercial “European” or “Continental” shoot in America. By Magnusson’s definition, the true mark of driven shooting lies in the hands of the gamekeeper, who manages thousands of pheasants and partridges without the use of fences or pens. The Robb Report on driven shooting at Blixt, in the magazine’s travel and sport pages.
