Sporting Gun | Apr / 296
Welcome to the April issue of SG. This month we have the epic tale of Mr Simon K Barr’s decade-long struggle to complete the Macnab – a fly-caught salmon, a brace of grouse and a red stag, all bagged on the same day.
As the game season ends, we turn our attention to pest control with a guide to buying the perfect foxing rifle plus two articles dedicated to the fine art of squirrel bashing. Geoff Garrod continues to control the pigeons and turns his attention to one of the highlights of his shooting year, as roost shooting gets into full swing.
Richard Atkins takes a look at what could be the final development in terms of long-range lead game cartridges, while Rob Speed falls in love with an ultra-quiet pump action .410. All our regulars continue their tales of hunting while outlining their preparations for the months ahead.
The clay season is now upon us and next month will see an SG clay special, while our gundog coverage evolves from field work to training and trials. We’ve covered all the bases in this issue. We hope you’ll enjoy it.
