Sporting Gun Magazine

Guest edited by actor, former footballer and lifelong countryman
Vinnie Jones, the June issue of Sporting Gun is a passionate
celebration of rural life, traditional field sports and the
importance of protecting the countryside way of life for future
generations.
In his guest editor’s foreword, Vinnie reflects on the growing
pressures facing country sports, while proudly championing the values that define them. “I’m proud to be a countryman,” he writes,
emphasising that shooting, fishing and life in the field remain
central to who he is. He also calls on the shooting community to
widen participation and inspire others, arguing that “Kids are the
key to our future. Lighting that flame in their bellies means country
sports is something they will always want in their lives.” His
words set the tone for an issue rooted in advocacy, tradition and a
determination to ensure country pursuits continue to thrive.
Inside this issue, readers will find a rich blend of practical
fieldcraft, simulated game, competition shooting and countryside
craftsmanship. From pigeon shooting tactics and modern game shooting practices to clay competition, sporting style and gundog excellence, the edition reflects both the heritage and evolving future of shooting sports.
