Important news from @bascnews -

BASC is urging its members to respond to the Home Office firearms consultation by completing a short online survey.

The Home Office firearms consultation covers airguns, ammunition components, high muzzle energy rifles and miniature rifle ranges in England, Wales and Scotland.

BASC is particularly concerned about proposals to remove the exception that permits unsupervised possession of air guns by under-18s on private land, because this is a key pathway into responsible shooting for hundreds of thousands of young people in the UK.

To ensure that a consistent message is received by government, BASC, working together with the Fifty Calibre Shooting Association, the National Smallbore Rifle Association and the British Shooting Sports Council, has compiled a list of suggested responses to the Home Office survey, which closes on 16 February 2021.

Please visit BASC's website to find a link to the survey -

The keepers are still out and about. The hard work never stops no matter the weather.
Although this is certainly not a bad place to spend your day!

A SEASON LIKE NO OTHER... Our most recent article

A SEASON LIKE NO OTHER...

Our most recent article, written by Mark Osborne, gives a brief recap of this "incredibly strange" shooting season and, most importantly, looks to the future, with what may be in store for us in the 2021/22 season.

"The 2020 Shooting Season has been incredibly strange, even more bizarre than the two Foot & Mouth epidemics for those who can remember that far back! All this was made particularly poignant when I originally wrote this article just after Christmas, because then much of the South of England had recently gone into Tier 4, but now the whole country is again in lockdown, so the picture is again very bleak and a truly dreadful way to finish off the season.

Game Shooting this season has been hit to varying degrees by the Pandemic, which due to the timing of the main “hit” in the early spring, meant Shoots had to make the decision as to whether they continued as they had done before, or perhaps instead reduced the scale of their operations in the expectation that there might be some disruption once the season started. The final option was to “furlough” the Shoot entirely for the season. As no-one knew what was going to subsequently unfold, working out exactly what to do was very much a guesstimate and so it has proved."

Fallow are a beautiful, graceful species of deer.

Fallow are a beautiful, graceful species of deer. They are of a medium size, usually of a tan/fawn colour but can also be seen as menil (paler colouring with white spots), melanistic (black or very dark brown) or white.

Fallow are the only species in Britian with palmate antlers, meaning they are shaped in a similar way to an open hand (or palm), as opposed to individual spikes.

Although they are majestic, they can also cause a severe amount of damage to woodland and arable farmland, and therefore numbers must be managed. Maintaining a stable deer population also ensures there is sufficient food and habitat for them, and reduces the risk of diseases or death/injury in road traffic accidents.

To find out more about deer management, please contact the William Powell Sporting Team.

The average roe can yield around 8kg of clean, fresh usable meat.

This is natural, 'free range' meat that is high in protein and low in fat. It is also sustainable, and has absolutely no negative impact on the environment.

Venison is becoming more popular, and for good reason. It is delicious and can be used to make a range of hearty dishes. If you haven't tried it yet, we would highly recommend heading to your local butchers or contacting @venandi_uk for all your venison needs.

This recent trip to a managed Estate was a cold one! ❄️

Here at William Powell Sporting we feel it is vital to maintain a close relationship with the estates we manage. This means knowing the people involved, the land itself, and the wildlife, game and livestock that resides there. All of these aspects are vitally important to the success of each estate.

There are many good days out in the field, and being surrounded by beautiful scenery like this makes for some of the best!

It's a long one, but we promise this post is well worth a read!

Maskirovka is the name given to Russian military doctrine developed in the twentieth century and encompasses tactics that mislead or coerce your adversary, from camouflage to denial and deception. As we moved in to the twenty first century the Russian Federation has mastered this tactic in a digital age influencing its audiences using a range of social media platforms. Now I imagine you are running your fingers through that fine head of hair asking, what on God’s green Earth has this got to do with field sports?

We need to start learning to harness the power of social media.

The latest William Powell Sporting article focuses on how we can all pull together via social media to help promote our sports and show them in the best light possible, rather than posting images that can be misunderstood, deliberately misconstrued and sometimes taken completely out of context to show something fictitious.

Have no doubt there is a battle raging for the survival of our sports, all of them, but it is not only the leaders among us that can change the tide, the digital age has made us all soldiers in this fight. The vast majority of sportsmen and women use either Facebook, Instagram or some other platform and we all follow well-known sporting personalities who use it to great effect. The issue is, it takes only one or two thoughtless posts of the more unsavoury aspects of our sports, the context of which you and I understand but the public, uneducated in the realms of hunting, shooting and fishing may find unpalatable, to undo all the good work.
