We introduce a new regular column: ‘Christie on call’, written by paramedic and outdoor safety specialist Christie Pisani. An avid hunter herself, she understands the challenges we face in remote environments and brings that real-world knowledge to every column. Internationally, we take you on a breathtaking hunt in New Zealand, where the terrain and trophies are truly rewarding. We also sit down with Dan Hardy of Hardy Rifles to talk precision, innovation and the NZ hunting scene. In South Africa, we attended HuntEx and have wrapped up the highlights from this world-class expo. Rounding out the global scene is coverage of Rigby’s glamorous 250th anniversary celebration at Portsmouth Harbour – a milestone worth noting for lovers of fine rifles and rich history. Back home, we share two contrasting views on the 2025 roar – Christie’s return to bowhunting post-motherhood, and veteran bowhunter Wayne Kampe’s reflections on his 42nd consecutive season. Both stories remind us of the deep connections we share with the land. In gear, we compare two standout folding knives – one a classic design, the other a modern, maintenance-free option. We’ve also got full-spectrum game coverage, from rabbits, hares and foxes to boars, deer and bantengs, plus top products and recipes. Don’t miss our review and your chance to win one of two signed copies of Shooting the British Double Rifle – a Fourth Edition collector’s piece already in high demand.
