Sporting Gun Magazine Sep / 313 Back Issue

Welcome to the September digital issue, in which we are focusing on getting ready for the start
of the game-shooting season. Leading us off is former British side-by-side champion Mike Yardley,
who reveals fundamental techniques to help your shooting. We don’t forget our pigeon-shooting
readers, with two articles on controlling woodies from Geoff Garrod and Tom Payne. And if you
need a great shotgun to help you equal their success, Hollis Butler reviews four great examples,
all priced at under £800, and Bruce Potts get into action with the Mossberg Maverick 88 pump-
action. In another roundup, in light of the looming ban on lead ammunition we showcase five of the
best lead-free projectiles. Diggory Hadoke also touches on how this legislation will affect owners of
vintage shotguns.
Rifle shooters are by no means forgotten, with reviews of optics from Swarovski and Element,
and an in-depth look at the Bergara B14 Extreme Hunter .22 LR from Bruce Potts.
