01. Introduction

Launched in 1978, Sporting Gun is a unique title for clay and game shooting enthusiasts. Every issue is packed with the latest news as well as reviews by trusted experts and editorial features by those that live and breathe sport shooting.

For true field sports enthusiasts, Sporting Gun offers truly essential shotgun, gundog, and rifle shooting content from an array of writers who literally live and breathe our sport.– Paul Austin, Editor, Sporting Gun
