Bruce Potts has over thirty years’ experience as a shooter and wildlife photographer. He regularly writes and reviews for Shooting Times, covering subjects including air rifles, rimfire, centre-fires and reloading, to rifle and product testing and hunting features.

He has a particular interest in custom rifles, in the detailed and thorough testing of rifle ballistics, in deer stalking and in reloading. He is the author of several books on rifles.

Bruce says: “I have an inquisitive mind and so have spent the last 30 years testing firearms and associated equipment for more than four national magazines and overseas publications. That is about 120 articles a year. I have also written two books and numerous annuals on ballistics. My love for deer stalking and long range varminting stems from spending all my time in Kent on my three uncles’ farms learning stalking skills with my camera and gun. My wildlife photographs have been used to illustrate magazines and Richard Prior’s books on roe deer.  I have also made two films on the natural history of the roe deer, conducted many talks on the subject and designed and developed six unique wildcat cartridges to push the boundary of our ballistic knowledge.”
