Stalking Fallow With The 7mm08
A couple of weekends back I managed to get out of town for the weekend to go stalking with Mr7mm on the flatlands of the east coast. Viewed from the train the farms are divided into lots of neat rectangles of expensive fencing. Horse country. Up there its Fallow and Muntjac, the Fallow being more…

Unboxing Review: Markhor Elk Mountain 45l Pack
Would you like to review a pack that’s lightweight, durable, and affordable? Would I ever. Does, or could such a thing exist? Most people have one pack, for people like BoB, Mr Grendel and myself this shows a cavalier attitude to foot travel and a lack of commitment to adventure. I asked BoB (brother of…

A Shooter’s Education: Civilian Service Rifle?
I’ve been expanding the range of my shooting lately [ber-boom], trying my hand at a few new disciplines, I’ve shot some short range Gallery Rifle where pistol calibers and .22LR are shot in what used to be pistol competitions before they were banned [for the most part – we’ll come to that later]. I’ve tried…

Old England,Bisley And The Queen’s Prize
This BBC film from the 80’s has everything, a blast of history, some very old posh people, and Brian Glover! Yeah that Brian Glover, the teacher from Kes! Many times I’ve been told that Bisley is in a time-warp, and this film backs that up. The place still looks exactly the same. Wandering around you’ll…

Book Review: Tracking the Major
The blogger known as the Bambi Basher and myself have a sort of yule-ish end-of-year catch-up tradition. Last year we stalked the Highlands. This year our December catch up was to return to its regular venue. Holts host their bi-annual london auctions – it’s the nearest thing to an American gun show central london has to…

Book Review: A Fly Rod Of Your Own
John Gierach still has it. The original trout bum is back for his 21st book, and for me his laconic storytelling style never gets old. Whereas he was once young and keen he’s now older and wider. Still bouncing along over dirt tracks and bumping down in small planes to reach the trout others only…

More Bisley: 5.56mm at 100m
Most of the time my target shooting looks like this, 22LR at an indoor 25m range with varying degrees of success, some weeks I even make it down there twice, some weeks not so much. Once the weather warms up my club rents out target at Bisley – the national shooting ground and we gather…
