Vic Venters is co-hosting with me and we just booked our flights.

We are going to South Africa with Athina Hunting Tours to host the Shooting Sportsman 'Readers & Writers' shoot.

It will be a week shooting game birds and pigeons and a few wildfowl. We have been to this location before and it is great sport.

I'll be out again in September and we organise trips two or three times a year. Looking forward to it. This time I'll be shooting half the time and taking photographs the other half. I hope that improves the quality of my photographs!

Next year we are discussing the possibility of taking out a team of shooters and supplying a vintage gun in every bore from .410 to 12-bore and rotating the guns, with prizes for the best scores on pigeons with each, over the week. should provide some interesting data with everyone using every gun at least one session. Have to work out the details but it would make an interesting trip.
