One of the most popular faces in fieldsports, Mark started both shooting and cooking when he was just seven years old and this passion has spawned Game For Everything. Mark’s unique knowledge of the whole process of preparing game: shooting, skinning, butchering and cooking, has led to an international demand for his services and much press attention. Most recently he appeared on Gordon Ramsay’s The F-Word, BBC Radio 4′s Food Show, Market Kitchen and Telegraph.co.uk. Mark writes a regular column in Sporting Shooter magazine, where he prepares and cooks different items of game every month.

Description

Using high speed video we illustrate how the pellet flies through the air and the compensation you need to make a clean kill. We are after feral pigeons sitting on rooftops at all ranges. The pigeons are making a real mess of a grain store so we need to act quickly and efficiently with an Air Arms 410IS. We also discover the importance of making sure your pellets don't get knocked and distorted. Roy Lupton is handling the airgun and, to provide balance, Mark Gilchrist has a shotgun. This film was first shown in Fieldsports Britain episode 145.
