Watch: One-armed foxing with 260 RIPS

In this video with Mark Ripley (260 RIPS) on Shooting & Country TV, we’re showing you how to go foxing with one arm…!

Poor old Mark has a broken shoulder and, Sod’s Law, it’s his shooting shoulder. A call from the farmer to come and sort out a problem fox means he can’t just rest up and take it easy for a few weeks, and so to solve the problem, he calls a friend (also Mark, hereafter referred to as Mark 2!) to act as trigger man.

With the fieldcraft and local knowledge coming from Mark 1, and the shooting being undertaken by Mark 2, they head out in search of the crafty Charlie that has been taking geese from the farmer. 

It’s far from easy going – the permission is vast with near vertical banks to climb, it’s absolutely freezing, and to top it of, Mark Ripley is still recovering from a bout of Covid! 

Find out if they nailed the problem fox in this episode of S&C TV.
