Fieldsports Britain – Paul’s .410 pigeon day

Paul Childerley wants to go silent and simple this week. He is shooting pigeons over crops in Bedfordshire close enough to a footpath to make a quiet .410 his gun of choice. He tries a variety of guns, including a Hushpower. Meanwhile, we’re at the World English Sporting Championship at EJ Churchill shooting ground in Buckinghamshire, where 1,600 shooters toughed it out for the title. And it’s good news for big game anglers in the UK, with DEFRA ending its dithering and allowing 25 charter boats from Cornwall to go out after bluefin tuna. And Ryan Charlton talks through the new Maven RS4 5-30x56 riflescope. We are giving away shooting kit from Cluny Country Store priced at £100+. David is on the news stump, and James Marchington has the best hunting videos on YouTube in Hunting YouTube. It’s all in this week’s #FieldsportsBritain
