Army shoot faces closure after gamebird licence refusal

Natural England’s latest licensing decisions threaten to destroy not only rural communities around Salisbury Plain, but also the livelihoods of members of the Bulford and Tidworth Garrison Shoot.

RIP Jim Albone

It is with great sadness that we share the news that Jim Albone, a passionate pigeon guide and true inspiration to many in the shooting community, passed away on 30 July at the age of 69.

Born and raised in Biggleswade, Jim spent most of his life working in the countryside across Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire. He had shooting rights on a huge amount of farmland and knew those landscapes like the back of his hand.

Jim was widely recognised for his expertise in pigeon shooting and his popular Red Letter Days DVD, which showcased his exceptional skill and deep love for the countryside. He was a regular contributor to Shooting Times over the years and will be remembered by many readers for his knowledge and passion.

🕊️ Jim’s funeral will take place on Wednesday 20 August at 2:30pm at Bedford Crematorium. In keeping with Jim’s wishes, mourners are invited to wear shooting attire alongside traditional funeral dress.
