Description

The no.1 Game Shooting Podcast in the UK One of the best parts of a day out shooting is the chat with your mates in the pub at the end of the day or on the gunbus. The GunsOnPegs Podcast attempts to bottle that rambling conversation. In the company of a different special guest from the world for shooting each episode, we pour ourselves a drink and tackle the big topics - and the small ones - in fieldsports, conservation, land management and more, always with a wry smile or a downright silly atmosphere. Our guests share their expertise, wisdom (or their lack of each) as well as helping us to resolve listener's shooting dilemmas in Whose Bird is it Anyway, debating the audience's Unpopular Opinions and discussing more listener correspondence.

The Missed Targets Episode

2026/02/03

As the game shooting season draws to a close once more, Jake, Avian, George and Sam talk beaters' days, what to do with the game cards you've collected over the past few months, and review their progress against the goals they each set for the season... spoiler alert: the results weren't brilliant

The Fishing and Shooting Episode

2026/01/20

Pete McLeod is best known as a fly fishing expert and guide, but when the rods are back on the rack, and the reels have been stowed away, he's just as passionate about shooting, whether that's syndicate days in Hampshire, walked up days in Scotland, talking about shotguns, or even indulging in a spot of amateur gunsmithery. Pete joins Chris and George to discuss the similarities and differences between his two passions, as well as offer one listener some advice on small bores for youngsters, and adjudicate on a painful story of a greedy shot and the consequences he suffered

The New Year Episode

2026/01/06

As we slide gently into 2026 George, Jake, Sam and Avian look back at the year just gone and forward to the one ahead. They talk shooting-themed Christmas presents and take the chance to reward some members of the GunsOnPegs Podcast community for going above and beyond in 2025. They also take a look into the future and talk about the government's forthcoming consultation on shotgun licensing, and offer a listener some advice on how to build on their success in converting their friends and family to the joys of wild game.

The Shotgun Collector Episode

2025/12/16

Many years ago George made a guest appearance on A Break In The Action, a US podcast hosted by Ryan Doughty, all about his love for break action shotguns. Now it is our turn to repay the favour. Ryan is over for a shooting trip in the UK, so we took the chance to get him behind a mic and chat to him about everything from his love of 'double guns', his podcast, his impressions of shooting in the UK and his recommendations for Brits looking to try their hand at some US-style wingshooting. We also settle a debate among a roving syndicate following a catastrophic piece of planning, and hear back from Oblamov on his work vs shooting conundrum!

The Shooting Faux Pas Episode

2025/12/02

Avian, Jake, Sam and George dive into the bulging email inbox and pick out a few gems - there's cider name ideas, peanut-flavoured pheasants, a heartwarming tale of childhood in the beating line, and a rather uncomfortable tale of one of our number...

The Wildlife Photographer Episode

2025/11/18

Emily Graham has spent her life on the grouse moors of Weardale, but she's rarely - if ever- seen with a gun in hand. She's more likely to be out picking up with her trio of gundogs, or poking her long lens out of her car window as she snaps an award winning photo of a curlew brood. Now taking the helm of Conservation Communications, Emily is at the frontline of making the case for shooting in the wider world.

The Shoot Days with the Kids Episode

2025/11/04

George, Avian, Sam and Jake are back behind the mics covering everything from cider-making to Great British Game Week and how to make a day out on the peg or in the beating line an unforgettable experience for the kids, and comparatively stress-free for you!

The Shoot Lunch Episode

2025/10/21

So much goes into a day's in the field, with a battalion of people working hard to put on the day - beaters, pickers up, and gamekeepers. But all too often we overlook the people who quite literally put the icing on the cake - those who make sure that everyone is well-fed, that their glass is full, and that the conversation flows, manage the guestlist and keep the whole show on the road!

The Ambitious Goals for Q3 Episode

2025/10/07

We should all persevere to grow and improve over time. To upskill. To optimise our individual performance trajectories, and proactively embrace transformative learning opportunities that amplify our personal potential. Setting goals is the cornerstone of proactive engagement, a catalyst for measurable achievement, and a strategic enabler for aligning our individual growth trajectories with our overarching mission. As the season gets into full flow, Jake, Avian, Sam and George set out their Smart Objectives for the coming quarter. With this in mind, Jake, Avian, Sam and George lay out their personal goals and milestones for the season ahead.

The Game and Wildlife Episode

2025/09/23

Nick von Westenholz, who took over as CEO of the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust earlier this year, joins Chris and George to share his thoughts on the challenges and opportunities for shooting, conservation and the countryside.

The Dream Team Episode

2025/09/09

What are the ingredients for great team? Who are the characters you want to be standing next to on the peg? Jake, Avian and Sam pick their ideal shoot day guests, from all of history and the word of fiction.

The How Much Does Shooting Cost? Episode

2025/08/26

With Chris away on holiday, Digby Taylor, MD of GunsOnPegs steps into his shoes to share the results of the 2025 Game Shooting and Shoot Owner Census. He reveals how the cost of shooting has changed over the last few years, how buying habits have evolved and provides some fascinating stats on the environment and habitat work carried out by shoots each year. Taking inspiration from the Census, the chaps join forces to put together their dream shooting line, made up of characters living, dead and even fictional.

The Glorious Twelfth Episode

2025/08/12

Now that the Game Fair dust has settled and Jake has recovered from his hangover, normal service is resumed. We talk about BASC's latest advice for sensible social media usage, look ahead to the grouse season with the GWCT's forecast for the grouse season, PLUS we answer *another* listener question from Sweden, and share not one, but two great Gran's Days Out, including one especially for young shots.

The Hundredth (ish) Episode

2025/07/29

George, Chris, Sam, Jake and Avian take to the stage to look back at the last hundred(ish) episodes. Over four days of shooting waffle, 300 drinks, hundreds of anecdotes, quandries, dilemmas and dubious opinions, distilled down into a 40 minute celebration in front of a live audience at The Game Fair 2025. Here's to the next hundred!

The Game Fair Notices Episode

2025/07/22
