Fieldsports Magazine

1 August 2019

The new game shooting season is almost upon us and the August/September issue of Fieldsports Journal looks ahead to the adrenaline-fuelled excitement that is grouse shooting. We look at grouse shooting history and join a team of Guns for a unique driven grouse day in Arkengarthdale, Simon Ward advises on how to shoot your best from a butt and control the nerves, plus three industry figures consider if our general game shooting standards are high enough and what can be done to improve them. Other stand-out articles include the first instalment of an exclusive three-part series on grey partridge conservation on the Northumberland Estate, plus Jeremy Paxman looks back at a former Foreign Secretary obsessed with fishing, along with a Goliath tiger fishing expedition, British sea bass on the fly and mouth-watering recipes from chef Mike Robinson and so much more. This issue offers plenty of late-summer sport with rod and gun to kick off the new season. #TIMEWELLSPENT
