Shooting: game shooting, rough shooting, pigeon shooting, wildfowling and more
Shooting in the UK covers more ground than most sports. A walked-up day on the hill for grouse, a drive on a lowland pheasant shoot, a winter morning in a hide waiting on pigeons, a foreshore dawn for wigeon – the disciplines are different, the skills are different, and the knowledge required for each one runs deep.
ShootingUK’s shooting pages cover the full range: driven game, rough shooting, pigeon shooting, wildfowling, deer stalking and pest control. Technique, tactics, safety, etiquette, fieldcraft and the practical knowledge that makes a better shot in the field – all covered by writers who shoot the disciplines they write about.
Gear is reviewed honestly. Advice comes from experience. Whatever your discipline, whatever your level, the answers are here – and so is the content that keeps you coming back.
