Marty Fischer

In the late 1990's, I had only just discovered shotguns, wing-shooting, and clay targets.  Not growing up around guns or hunting I was anxious to dive deep into this new hobby.  There were a few periodicals that I got excited about but there wasn’t anything for me that I looked forward to more than new episodes of The Shotgun Journal.  Hosts, Bruce Scott and Marty Fischer traveled domestically and abroad with shotguns in tow and brought viewers along with them.  Each episode was equal parts shotgun talk, techniques, etiquette, and adventure.  A huge inspiration for this podcast project actually came from my love of this TV show.Support the show

A tribute to The Shotgun Journal with Marty Fischer

Grouse hunting isn’t easy.  It can require covering a lot of ground while pushing through thick cover.  When a hunter finds that he or she is lucky enough to be presented with a shot it is often through a tangle of limbs and leaves.  So what then makes a good choice for a grouse-hunting shotgun?  I am joined by four serious grouse hunters, Meadow Kouffeld, Nick Larson, Gregg Elliott and Rich Wong.  You follow their social sites, read their articles and listen to their podcasts - now hear from each what makes for the best shotgun option in the grouse woods.A very special thank you to each of my guests.  You can find them online here:Meadow KouffeldIG: meadowkouffeldNick Larson Birdshot PodcastGregg ElliottDogs and DoublesRich WongIG: wisc_me_nordSupport the show

Let me introduce you to The Omni Homestead Resort, a luxurious and idyllic retreat that has been charming guests for over two centuries. The moment you arrive, you're struck by the stunning beauty of the surroundings - rolling hills, verdant gardens, and pristine forests that stretch as far as the eye can see.  The resort itself is a masterpiece of architecture, with its traditional red brick exterior covering the extensive wings and grand tower. . As you step inside, you are greeted by warm, welcoming staff and a stunning interior design that blends modern luxury with historic charm.  Our trip had us arriving on a Saturday afternoon and departing on Monday late morning.  That gave us one full day to really get acquainted with the Shooting Club.  In this episode I would like to introduce a concept that your golfing friends have long been aware of - the ‘stay and play’ getaway.  I am hoping that you enjoy shooting with your significant other or friends.  Why not plan a quick getaway with them to relax and recharge? If you live in the eastern half of the US - The Homestead Resort with its endless recreation opportunities, specifically the Shooting Club - needs to be on your radar.We are also going to be discussing and offering a shooting review of the Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing G1 shotgun.  In the few weeks that I have spent with the G1 I have shot sporting clays, 5-stand and skeet.  I think this shotgun handles very similar to a K-80 - its profile actually resembles one at first glance.  I really liked it for sporting clays and 5-stand.  It’s weight really helped it to point reliably and track targets.  That same weight wasn’t my friend on the skeet field.  Others who I have offered it to, to handle and shoot have generally received it quite well.  We’ll get into more details on how it handled, how it shot and who I think this shotgun is a good choice for in this episode.Support the show

America's best sporting outfitters have had a long tradition of branding quality shotguns by partnering with great manufacturers.  You don't have to look long before you come across some high-quality doubles from iconic companies like Orvis, Abercrombie &amp; Fitch, LL Bean, and others.  Some of these great companies didn't stand the test of time, some have moved away from offering their own branded shotgun models but one continues to partner with exceptional manufacturers and offer top quality shotguns proudly wearing the company name.  Today I spend some time talking to Greg Carpiniello, Gun Department Manager for The Orvis Company.  Greg will offer an anthology of the near 50 years of Orvis Custom Shotguns plus a look at what Orvis is currently offering from Fabarms, Chapuis and Caesar Guerini.Support the show

Hemingway's shotguns, an interview with 'Hemingway's Guns' author Silvio Calabi

Who doesn’t want to take part in a traditional British shoot. Whether it be mile high driven pheasants at Warter Priory or feathered missiles on a grouse moor in Scotland on the 'glorious twelfth'….  It makes no difference to me - either sits at the top of my bucket list… If you aren't familiar with this style of shooting, let me just summarize by saying it's steeped in tradition and will challenge even the most accomplished gun. Traditional shooting attire as the standard. And of course the guns are encouraged to be doubles.  As a much more affordable option. There are some US hunt clubs that are conducting European style shoots. Many would argue that none do it better than shoot captain, Keith Coyle and the Green Acre Sportsman's club in central Illinois.A few weeks ago I got to spend some time with Keith on the phone discussing his background and journey to the US.  In this second part of our conversation we are going to take a closer look at the simulated British shoots offered at Green Acres.  Whether your targets are clay birds or feathered - I think that you will agree that it’s their attention to the details that make the day.  (This is the second in a two part interview with Keith.  Don't miss part one where we discuss his shooting background and experiences.)Support the show

Based on our natural ability to point, the Churchill Method requires perfect gun fit and when executed properly is devastating on your target.Keith has spent the last 25 plus years as a course designer, shoot captain and shooting coach. He was formally recognized by some of the most prestigious gun makers of Europe, the UK, and the United States including Krieghoff, Caesar Guerini, Fausti and Grulla. Keith also currently supervises the green acres British shooting school and serves as their shoot captain for their British style shooting events.
