The Field & Country Fair is almost upon us, and everyone at Shooting Gazette is waiting to give you, our readers, the warmest of welcomes at Cornbury Park between June 10-12. There’ll be so much for visitors to see and do across the three days, from shooting clays and casting flies to working gundogs and eating game pies, aided and abetted by some of the biggest names in the fieldsports community, including Will Garfit and George Digweed. We hope to see you there! And the June issue is the Shooting Gazette stalking special so, among the usual array of fantastic features, we also have a special section devoted to the pursuit of deer and boar. A veritable feast for rifle shooters!
