Volume VIII • Issue I

We are delighted to welcome Olympic gold medallist Nathan Hales as our guest editor for this issue. Having returned to the UK from the Paris 2024 Games, with a Trap shooting gold medal and new Olympic record to his name, Nathan reflects on his journey from beating and shooting with his schoolfriends on his family’s syndicate shoot to reaching the pinnacle of the sport on the world stage. To celebrate, we send Nathan, along with two previous Team GB gold medallists, to a driven day in Gloucestershire for a Gun line like no other. Read all about how they got on in this issue.

Elsewhere, our sporting writers and photographers report back from an epic pursuit of reindeer in Iceland; a jaw-dropping milkfish trip in the Seychelles; and – a little closer to home – a simple walked-up day to help burn off the excesses of Christmas.

With delicious recipes to make the most of the game you harvest; a bumper Christmas gift guide; and a host of thought-provoking features, this is the perfect issue to get stuck into this festive season.
