# National Pigeon & Pest Control
National Pigeon & Pest Control is the UK's leading provider of organised woodpigeon and corvid shooting experiences, established in 1979 to deliver reliable crop protection whilst offering members prime decoying opportunities. Based in Harrogate, the organisation operates across Yorkshire, the Midlands, the North East and Northern England, covering regions including Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Durham and Cleveland.
The business serves two distinct constituencies: shooting enthusiasts seeking authentic decoying experiences over winter, spring and summer months, and farmers requiring professional pest control protection for their crops. Members access a comprehensive annual field list detailing grid references and What3Words locations for available sites, enabling them to conduct reconnaissance and book preferred venues throughout the week.
What distinguishes NPPC is their commitment to sustainable, legally compliant shooting under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and General Licences administered by Natural England. The organisation emphasises skilled decoy placement techniques and adherence to strict rules and procedures. Recently, under new leadership from Chris Carter—a seasoned shooting club manager, BASC award winner for sustainable shooting writing, and clay pigeon league captain—the club continues its legacy of excellence following the passing of founder John Shooter in 2023.
NPPC maintains endorsements from Shooting Times, Sporting Gun, Farmers' Weekly and Sporting Shooter magazines, with recognition from Police Authorities and the NFU.
