Shooting advice: tips, techniques and expertise for clay, game and rough shooting
Whether you’re a novice stepping onto the clay ground for the first time or an experienced Gun looking to sharpen your technique, this is where you’ll find the knowledge to shoot better.
Sporting Gun’s shooting section covers every discipline – driven game, walked-up days, roughshooting, pigeon and corvid control, wildfowling and clay shooting across all formats. Our team of professional shots and industry experts delivers first-hand advice on technique, gun mount, footwork, reading the line and everything else that separates a good day from a great one.
Beyond technique, we cover the seasonal rhythms of the shooting year, from early-season partridge to the final pheasant drives of February, alongside practical guidance on etiquette, safety and getting the most from every day in the field.
