Let's get everyone out of their comfort zone and see how they get on - first up, Andy Crow leaves behind his pigeon gun and picks up his driven boar rifle. He goes on a driven hunt in Germany and, first, learns how to shoot boar at the Holland & Holland shooting cinema in West London. Does he do OK sausage-side? Find out in this film. Plus Carly Coates is putting herself through the mountain mangle at Glen Etive in the Highlands of Scotland. She is stalking red hinds with Mark Shone. See if she makes it down the hill. David is relatively comfortable on the News Stump, and Charlie produces Hunting YouTube. And there are competitions. We are giving away: a Holland & Holland shooting experience, Andy Crow's own Blaser F16 shotgun, and Andy Crow pigeon shooting experience (spend a day in Kent with him), a Winchester XPR semi-auto, we announce the winner of last week's £400 shooting suit competition, and we have a Fieldsports Nation Exclusive Offer for a merry Christmas stocking filler. It's all in this week's #FieldsportsBritain
