The UK government may or may not restrict pigeonshooting and other pest control this week. It all depends what we, the shooters, tell them. There are three ways to get your message across to the bureaucrats:
Email DEFRA direct: glevidence@defra.gov.uk
Fill our our survey: Fcha.nl/2019survey
Fill out BASC’s survey: Research.net/r/BASC-GLsurvey
Despite what the British government is trying to do to shooting, we are out learning new skills. Browning asks up to the long-range facility at WMS Firearms in Wales in order to show off their rifles, with expert tuition from Andrew Venables. And Ben Husthwaite is back with our shotgunning skills series, Smokin’ Targets, teaching how to prepare for shooting. Plus there’s Hunting YouTube in this week’s #FieldsportsBritain.
