Under a tall bird, where a gun carries its weight matters more than the price tag.

We compare five top-end over-and-unders on balance, chokes and recoil, from Browning’s back-bored 825 Game Prestige to Beretta’s DT11 EELL.

Which would you want your hands on?

£51.60 a bird, 9.4 days and £7,598 for the season.

The 2026 Game Shooting Census puts numbers on what a season costs the average person, and on how far the move away from lead has actually got: only 19% of Guns have switched, with the deadline fixed for 1 April 2029.

Certificate up for renewal before the season? Send it early.

Fi****ms licensing performance has now fallen for four quarters running, and the number of shooters kept legal by a temporary permit while they wait is up 83% over five quarters.

Forces aim to finish an application in four months; close to three in ten take longer.

How long did your last renewal take?

An 18th-century Spanish cannon, and an underground shooting cinema.

Holland & Holland's ground at Northwood has been on the same site since 1932. More than 160 traps, layouts changed every month, a 22m screen shot with live rounds, and two Sporting competitions a month.

Have you ever been?

A member of the House of Lords told his optometrist to just make them himself.

That is how Edwards Eyewear began. Ed Lyons drew the first frames at home on his sofa, brought the shooter's eye, and the titanium Hiroki is now worn by world and Olympic champions.

A self-employed dog groomer from Buckinghamshire, and a world champion.

Amy Easeman started out following her grandad round the game cart at a local shoot. She has since won the Ladies' World Compak title, the English Open twice, the World English Sporting and this year's European Compak.
