Further to running the family farm and Land Rover service centre, I am also a freelance hunting journalist for the Sporting Rifle Magazine, specializing in rifle and equipment reviews. I have also been involved in filming with the Field Sports Channel TV company on rifles, shooting techniques and hunting. My recent series is called ‘Rucksack and Rifle’, which is taking me to many other European countries such as Croatia, Sweden and Spain. To see more, you can go to Field Sports Channel TV or search Tim Pilbeam on YouTube where you can see a variety of films shot over the past few years.
