I have been shooting since the tender age of 19, firstly clay pigeon and then over a long period of time moving onto live game and in recent years using rifles. I have been in the countryside all my life, however did commute into London for several years and am glad that is now over. Think the winter months are a fantastic time of the year and pity those who hide away in over heated houses and never get to see what is yet another of our lovely seasons. get out and embrace it as you would for the summer, just dress better tho!!!
