Precision Rifle Shooting: growing in popularity and going the distance

Precision Rifle Shooting (PRS) is really taking off in the UK these days and you'll be able to view the rifles used for it at The National Shooting Show. What is it? It is a shooting style which involves hitting metal targets in sequence at varying distances, from a supported and unsupported position. The targets are around 10-30cm in diameter and the distances around 250-900m from the firing point. So why is PRS growing so much in popularity? I spent some time with Ryan Charlton of Highland Outdoors and asked him a few questions. When did PRS start becoming more popular? ...

How to encourage a Young Shot: get gun fit right and think about weight and recoil

Good gun fit is key for all shooters, no matter what their age. But going out in the field with a gun that's comfortable to use is particularly important for Young Shots. Low recoil and good fit should be a priority for protecting young musculoskeletal systems. In addition, carrying a lighter gun on a shoot day is less tiring, particularly when walking miles through fields. So we were interested to hear about young Sophia Stanley's journey. She was recently presented with a junior lightweight, ultra low recoil 20-bore shotgun  by Manor & Co Gun and Rifle Makers, where she is a ...

Wild game is a sell-out at Emirates Stadium

Game proved so popular when it was served at the Emirates Stadium for the first time that it sold out 10 minutes before kick-off. Serving game to spectators of the beautiful game was obviously a back of the net shot. But what's the back story? Things kicked off when Eat Wild, the UK development board for wild meat, invited Delaware North, hospitality provider for Emirates Stadium and the London Stadium, to an estate in Warwickshire, where the invitees were educated about rearing and harvesting wild meat and its multiple benefits. As a result, Delaware North put wild meat on the menu ...
