Good writing starts with listening

Send us your 600-word story about a day in the field and you could win a fantastic pair of CENS ear defenders

Over the years, at Shooting Times, we’ve received a huge number of brilliant stories written by readers. We wanted to celebrate that tradition in our birthday issue by teaming up with our friends at CENS.

Please send us 600 words about a day in the field (to shootingtimes@ futurenet.com) over the next two months. The Editor will judge the stories and the winner will receive a set of custom-made CENS ear defenders. The winning story will be published in our Christmas issue. Best of luck.
