Sporting Gun Magazine Nov / 315 Back Issue

The November 2025 Issue of Sporting Gun is guest edited by Chelsea King, a passionate game and clay shot, stalker, wildfowler and personality. “If sharing my passion for fieldsports encourages others to take part – or even just sparks curiosity to learn more about them – then that can only be a positive thing,” she writes. From growing up outside the shooting community to now living on an estate in Bedfordshire, Chelsea offers an insider’s perspective on the commitment, conservation and camaraderie that lie behind
every day in the field.
Inside, readers will find Chelsea’s personal interview and a feature on her gun cabinet and preferred shooting set-up. Geoff Garrod reports on a days pigeon decoying, while Rob Speed tests an affordable
over-and-under. Mike Yardley provides expert advice on improving consistency, the British Open .410 Championships and British Open Sporting results are covered in detail, alongside Jasper Fellows’ visit to the CPSA Ground of the Year. Later in the issue, Simon Garnham captures the magic of wildfowling under the November full moon and Al Young explores Lindisfarne as a novice fowler.
