SHOOTING & GAMEKEEPING EQUIPMENT REVIEWS

GEAR & EQUIPMENT

Honest, real-world reviews of the rifles, scopes, thermal imaging, trail cameras, boots, clothing, tools and everyday gamekeeping equipment I genuinely use.

I explain why I chose it, how it performs in the field, its weaknesses and whether I believe it is worth the money.

USED IN REAL WORK

This is not a catalogue of equipment I have only handled for a few minutes. The reviews are built around kit I use for gamekeeping, shooting and everyday estate work.

Where possible, I show the same equipment in The Diary and Behind the Gun films, so you can see it working in real conditions rather than simply hear my opinion.
