People: the shooters, trainers, experts and characters behind the sport
Shooting is nothing without the people who live and breathe it. This section puts the spotlight on the individuals who shape the sport – from world-class competitive shots and respected gundog trainers to gamekeepers, conservationists, gunmakers and the industry figures driving shooting forward.
Through interviews, profiles and first-person features, we go beyond the technical to explore the stories, opinions and experiences of the men and women who make the shooting world what it is. Sporting Gun has featured some of the biggest names in the sport, including world clay shooting champion George Digweed, pigeon shooting legend Andy Crow, and many of the UK’s most respected gundog trainers, coaches and fieldsports professionals.
