The magazine also features articles on fishing, deer stalking, gamekeeping, gundogs, cookery, and conservation.

[2] Wildfowler's Shooting Times and Kennel News, the publication's original title, was first published in September 1882 and has not missed a single edition since.

Throughout its history, Shooting Times has offered a forum for debate in the shooting world—famously in the 26 October 1907 issue, Stanley Duncan, (a long-term contributor to the magazine) wrote in with a request: "Sir, I have been asked to suggest a Wildfowlers's Association, to which you, Mr Editor, might give some assistance by permitting your paper to be the organ through which proposals might be considered and views obtained?"

Over the years Shooting Times has carried articles by writers and such sportsmen as Denys Watkins-Pitchford ("BB"), Colin Willock, Arthur Oglesby, Gough Thomas, gun expert Geoffrey Boothroyd and Major Archie Coats, the grandfather of modern pigeon shooting.

Shooting Times, in recent years, has had a renewed focus on good writing, with columnists such as Jamie Blackett and Patrick Laurie.
