Introducing the October Issue

Welcome to The Vintage Gun Journal, your free-to-view monthly magazine for all things British gun and rifle.

October has been busy! Grouse shooting in Constable Burton in September was followed with a short trip with a friend to shoot near Helmsley. The Yorkshire shooting hub is a great indicator that the season has really started, with tweeds a common sight in the pubs and 'keepers meeting sportsmen in the square every morning.

I recorded a podcast this month with Guns on Pegs, which readers might enjoy. Just search for it on Spotify.

After an indifferent summer, gun sales have picked up. Some are seeking guns that might adapt to steel shot but others are taking advantage of the relatively low prices asked for good English guns. Collector quality stuff is bucking the trend and holding firm prices.

We are now anticipating the arrival of our guests for the annual Caynham Court Shoot Party and keeping fingers crossed for drier weather than we endured this time last year.

As always, thank you for reading the VGJ .
