A spokeswoman said all three men - part of the shooting party - had been discharged from hospital but declined to comment further. | |
The Gundog Club was formed in 1995 as a "training club" for working gundogs and has more than 200 members. | |
A police spokesman said inquiries were under way to assess if there there were any criminal actions involved. | |
An estate spokesman said: "We allow the club to use the estate but no-one from the estate was present." | |
He declined to comment further. |
