Fieldsports Britain

[Zapp]

I'd like to see more realistic shooting (for "normal" people) from the UK

 

It would be nice, especially as I dont have a great deal of time for people who set themselves up as shooting celebrities, but given the stomping "ordinary" people get on forums like this and other social media like Facebook from the self-proclaimed experts, I'd imagine it wouldnt be the most rewarding experience for those involved.

 

I've seen it happen before for example where someone has taken the time to put together a video of their day only to be anorak'ed to death by pedantic nit picking. The poster of the vid wasnt proclaiming expertise or trying to lecture, just a video of a day they had enjoyed and within minutes along came someone who just had to let it be known they were the best and most knowledgable shooter around by peeing all over the OPs efforts.

 

On the subject of Fieldsports Britain, it doesnt always hit the spot, but I applaud them for trying to put forward a positive and media-friendly face of shooting and other fieldsports.

I think they need to cover more UK,love watching Andy crow and there is always good banter.Thought it was really stupid though when Roy was shooting a Brian May CD (picture of Mr May).I think if the was me doing it my FEO would be asking questions.

have to agree,, a very well written piece sir zapp,,

 

its a shame really as some experienced shots on here have stopped putting videos up due to the flack they receive of the armchair shooters,,,,

 

by the way has anyone seen Kent :lol:

i used to watch it or listen to it while reloading,,, but now i don't bother. I found if the title has boar/deer shooting in a foregn land or Michaelka goes shooting i have no interest in it.... i like the foxing uk bits and the andy crow stuff.

the tim pilbeam stuff can be a bit boring tho. dont mind the hello charlie.

It's got worse and worse in my opinion. Don't even bother watching it any more. Agree with there being hardly anything in the UK now, I think they want to attract the views from US & Global viewers to get paid by youtube and the sponsors.

 

Team Wild TV has far better produced videos and I have really enjoyed the great British shooting series on there recently, covering pheasant and partridge shooting. Fieldsports Britain are missing a trick there, as those videos have the most views, so if they covered more British shooting and game shooting in general they would likely have far more views, and get paid more....

I think their presenters and the news bloke like fully paid up jollies overseas......

I used to watch it religiously however I find little of interest now.

I'm not one dimensional in my Interests as I shoot game, pigeons, crows, rabbits, wildfowl etc and also enjoy foxing and stalking so in my opinion the fact none of these are represented is pretty poor.

Perhaps it's time to rename "fieldsports Britain" to "Fieldsports everywhere apart from Britain"

I think I'd get bored if only footage of UK shooting was shown. You can only watch so much pheasant shooting, wildfowl shooting etc etc before it all gets a bit boring in my opinion. I really enjoy pigeon shooting but even that gets a bit same after a while. It's the reason I stopped buying shooting magazines; you can only read so much about pigeon or fox shooting.

I quite like seeing how they do things in other countries; even walked up 'rooster' shooting in a wintry Dakota is worth a watch.

I agree to an extent however I feel it's almost completely rifle based at the moment , 90% of which isn't even of Brotish origin?
