The no.1 Game Shooting Podcast in the UK One of the best parts of a day out shooting is the chat with your mates in the pub at the end of the day or on the gunbus. The GunsOnPegs Podcast attempts to bottle that rambling conversation. In the company of a different special guest from the world for shooting each episode, we pour ourselves a drink and tackle the big topics - and the small ones - in fieldsports, conservation, land management and more, always with a wry smile or a downright silly atmosphere. Our guests share their expertise, wisdom (or their lack of each) as well as helping us to resolve listener's shooting dilemmas in Whose Bird is it Anyway, debating the audience's Unpopular Opinions and discussing more listener correspondence.

The Book Club Episode
With the mercury in the red it has been far too warm to do anything overly energetic - far better to find a shady spot and relax with a good book (or audiobook). Sam, Jake, Avian and George have been scouring their libraries for summer reading recommendations for fieldsports enthusiasts - think natural history, shooting fiction, fishing anecdotes, gamekeeping handbooks and beyond. Reading List Guns Wanted by JK Stanford Wilderlands by Eloise Kane The Great Auk by Tim Birkhead Fish, Fishing and The Meaning of Life by Jeremy Paxman The Badminton Library by Lord Walsingham Birds, Sex and Beauty by Matt Ridley The Scoundrels Trilogy by Major Victor Cornwall and Major Arthur Trevelyan Gamebird Diseases - a Gamekeepers' Guide by Alan Pearson Modern Firearm Engraving by Mario Abbiatico A Practical Guide to Modern Gamekeeping by Jeremy Hobson The Shooting Party by Isabel Colegate The Chimp Paradox by Prof. Steve Peters Honourable mentions Ring of Bright Water by Gavin Maxwell John Macnab by John Buchan Born Free by Joy Adamson Return of the Grey Partridge by Roger Morgan-Grenville and The Duke of Norfolk Uncommon Ground by Patrick Galbraith Words from the Hedge by Richard Negus Living with Greys by Tarquin Millington-Drake Books for Kids Redwall by Brian Jaques A Leopard's Tale by Jonathan Scott Animals of Farthing Wood by Colin Dann My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell Feathers / Venison by Jose L Souto

The Holland & Holland Episode
George and Chris are once again joined by John Henderson, General Manager of Holland & Holland, for the second half of their conversation, this time turning properly to one of the most famous names in British gunmaking. John reflects on his first 16 months at the helm, the move from Hardy and the world of fly fishing into Best gunmaking, and the similarities between two brands built on heritage, engineering and field-sports obsession. The conversation ranges from the sound of a Hardy Perfect reel to Beretta’s stewardship of Holland & Holland, and why the Beretta family’s investment is about protecting and strengthening the London gunmaker’s identity rather than turning it into something else. John also explains the painstaking handwork behind a Holland & Holland gun, including his own attempt to learn at the bench. There’s also discussion of Holland & Holland’s revived apprenticeship scheme, the future value of handmade craft in an age of AI, and the enduring appeal of double rifles. Plus: bespoke engraving, enamelled actions, African conservation, £500,000 Range Rovers, the new St James’s flagship store, and John’s Desert Island Shooting day — featuring family, friends, a fox-red Labrador called Goose, tall Devon pheasants, and possibly a quick helicopter detour for salmon fishing.

The Marriage & Career Councelling Episode
George and Chris are joined by John Henderson, General Manager of Holland & Holland, for an episode that begins with grey partridge chicks, Sardinian beer and a spectacularly awkward shooting-photo shoot in Wales. In the mailbox our New Zealand correspondent needs advice on choosing the right first shotgun. Next, a listener from the Ozarks seeks marital advice, and finally we hear from a trainee gamekeeper just starting out on his career in Northumberland. PLUS: the Epicurus shoot-off, the Order of the Garters season-opening dinner, and the mysterious appeal of a pint of Wallop.
