Airgun World Magazine

The March issue of Airgun World is headlined by professional pest controller Lee Watts, who takes the guest editor’s chair to share his field-proven experience. This edition also serves as your guide to the British Shooting Show, featuring behind-the-scenes facts, a preview of the Umarex Boys Club’s "six lanes of fun," and industry perspectives from BASC’s Lewis Thornley. We also go global as Jim Chapman reports from the 2026 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, providing an early look at the international trends set to dominate the year.

Our technical team delivers a robust selection of evaluations, spearheaded by Dave Barham’s test of the brand-new Reximex Lieva under-lever PCP and Mark Camoccio’s look at the Daystate Blackwolf C-Type. For those seeking high-calibre performance, Chris Parkin pushes the .30 calibre FX Leopard to its limits, while Nigel Allen reviews the ultra-compact PAO HD MAX 4-16x44 FFP. You even have the chance to win one of these precision optics in our free competition on the news pages.

Fieldcraft and craftsmanship take centre stage as Danny Brookfield shares his woodpigeon tactics and Lukasz Parsley of LP Gunstocks discusses the engineering behind his custom builds. We also dive into the business of the sport with Sean O’Driscoll of John Rothery Wholesale and Terry Doe’s "recipe" for FT success.

Finally, we offer practical advice with Gary Chillingworth’s guide to kneeling techniques and a "Five of the Best" look at aftermarket magazines. With a visit to Eaton Hall airgun club and our "Retail Therapy" kit round-up, this issue keeps you at the cutting edge of airgunning.
