rouse shooting is a time-honoured tradition in the UK, deeply rooted in the cultural and historical fabric of rural Britain. Beyond its heritage value, grouse shooting significantly benefits the economy, contributes to environmental conservation, and sustains rural communities.

Grouse shooting is a major contributor to the UK economy, particularly in rural areas where opportunities for economic growth can be limited. According to a study by the Moorland Association, grouse shooting supports over 2,500 full-time jobs directly and an estimated 10,000 jobs indirectly. Many of these jobs are located in remote rural areas where employment opportunities are often scarce, helping to sustain local communities.

The industry generates significant revenue through shooting-related activities. Visitors from across the UK and abroad spend on accommodation, food, equipment, transport, and other services. In 2019, it was estimated that grouse shooting contributed approximately £115 million annually to the UK economy. This revenue supports local businesses, from pubs and inns to outdoor retailers, bolstering the rural economy.
