In this very special episode, Chris and George are joined by two members of the Most Noble Order of the Garters in George's sitting room ahead of a day's shooting on the Browne family farm. Over a bottle or something nice and a few of cans of something grim they get stuck into the inbox and answer some listener's queries. 

Steve Colmer was a grouse moor headkeeper for twenty years before retiring from full time keeping in 2020. He is widely regarded as one of the best grouse keepers of his generation.

For this episode Chris and George are joined by a titan of the shooting community, Mark Osborne of William Powell, William Powell Sporting and JM Osborne Rural and Sporting. Over a long career in shooting Mark has been involved in everything from setting up and running shooting grounds, gunmaking, grouse moor management and more besides.

Louisa Clutterbuck is our special guest for this episode. She helps us to tackle an email from a listener who disagrees with some of the discourse of the last few episodes on the topic of the sustainability of shooting, and another on the rights and wrongs of double gunning.

In this episode we delve in the GunsOnPegs Podcast Postbag to answer some listener queries that don't quite fit into the regular segments, with a bit of a focus on making your first steps into the game shooting world.

Matt Kidd, fieldsports photographer and writer, former International Fly Fisherman and one-time First Class Cricketer joins us to share his wisdom and offer sensible(?) advice on those topics, plus tackle an HR question in Whose Bird is it Anyway and share his views on an Unpopular Opinion that puts Chris and George's choice of words under the spotlight. 

Vintage gun enthusiast and side-by-side clay shot extraordinaire Simon Reinhold joins the podcast to share his fondness for old guns, sticky drinks and why he thinks competition clay shooting is ripe for a shakeup.

Simon is one of shooting's deep thinkers, and we explore how the worlds of mathematics, psychology and even Oriental philosophies can act as a lens through which to look at game shooting, as well as helping listeners with the challenges of having tough conversations with syndicate members and how to resolve a family feud. PLUS is it possible (or even desirable) to complete a Macnab on one's wedding day?

What's the right thing to wear for hot September partridge days? What would you do if your partner was sneaking off to shoot without you? Is shooting overpriced? Do shoots make money? Is Stella still a good beer? Why are there so many craft beers? How can we redefine what a great shoot looks like? Discover the answer to some of these questions in this rambling and chaotic episode of The GunsOnPegs Podcast, with special guest Jonny Carter of TGS Outdoors.

Renowned wildlife artist and woodcock aficionado Owen Williams joins us for a blather over a glass or two. He shares his theories on the link between the pre-historic people who painted animal figures and hunting scenes on cave walls and contemporary sporting artists, holds forth on the topic of his beloved woodcock.

He also helps to offer some advice to a listener in need of a way to spice up a shoot day, and opines on the merits of pre- or post-shoot day dinners.

Chris and George venture into the Big Smoke to visit the hallowed and historic Long Room at James Purdey & Sons' Mayfair HQ, Audley House. 

Dan Jago, Purdey's Chairman, lets them fiddle with perhaps the most priceless gun in the entire Purdey collection, and explains why it is that so many people the world over desire a gun made in the company's London factory more than any other, and why so many dogs are named Purdey.

Dan also sets a new bar for What's That You're Drinking, and helps the boys to debate the tricky topic of over-eager pickers-up, how to avoid being a 'greedy gun' and reminisces about a forgotten drive.

Chris and George take over the stage at the Carter Jonas Theatre at the Game Fair and welcome Charlie Jacoby back to the podcast.
