The Shooting Show — pigeons and muntjac with Geoff Garrod PLUS an interview with Amber Hill
When it comes to the best of pigeon shooting, there’s only one man you need: NGO vice-president and head keeper Geoff Garrod. We join him and son Justin as they mark the end of the game season by setting up the hide and the deeks for an action-packed day at the birds. With Browning A5 and Eley VIP loads at their side, they make a formidable team — and we’re there to capture it all on camera.
