  • Really well balanced show

    The GunsOnPegs podcast covers shooting issues and gives airtime to general rural interest topics in a really joyful way. Bringing in guests that absolutely know their onions but might otherwise not be widely heard is a speciality. George, Chris and team also champion the countryside and its way of life in an increasingly urban world. A top-quality listen!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Art of Shooting
Q: What is it that makes a drive particularly good to paint?
Makinson looks for depth, with a foreground, middle ground and distance. A line of guns and birds set against the sky can make a strong composition, regardless of whether the shoot is known for high birds.
The Art of Shooting
Q: How did you end up as a sporting artist, Alistair?
After working in agricultural sales and then as an agent, Makinson broke his elbow in a fall, spent time drawing and painting, and eventually began selling landscapes through a local gallery. A London gallery later encouraged him to paint subjects that would appeal to its sporting clients.
Is there workplace discrimination against shooting?
Q: Are field sports enthusiasts expected to accept corporate prejudice, or should representative bodies call out businesses that discriminate against countryside pursuits?
The panel discusses workplace bullying, the importance of challenging unlawful discrimination, and existing efforts by shooting organizations to hold institutions accountable, while noting that openly discussing shooting at work can be a personal choice.
Is there workplace discrimination against shooting?
Q: What is the best approach when things don't go to plan on a shoot day?
The hosts and Alistair recommend improvising and asking nearby guns or the host for help rather than concealing the problem or giving up.
How does a Michelin starred chef cook game?
Q: Why is venison doing better than partridge and pheasant?
Venison has been on more restaurant menus for longer and is familiar as an everyday meat. Pheasant and partridge could take chicken's place in curries, stews and other dishes, but whole roasted birds are harder to substitute.
