History

edit

Founded in Lincolnshire in 1989, originally as a quarterly publication, the magazine, then called The Shooting Gazette, became a bi-monthly in October/November of that year. EMAP traded the title to IPC Media in 1996 in exchange for Classic Cars.[2]

The magazine was discontinued by its owner Future plc (which acquired previous owner TI Media in 2020) in May 2021.
