Jean-Paul Gaudin
The Seated Gun
Behind the brand stands Jean Paul Gaudin, a man shaped by heritage, discipline, and an enduring passion for the field. Of French origin, his connection to shooting began at a remarkably young age, rooted in tradition and a deep respect for the countryside. What began as early exposure soon developed into a lifelong love affair.
Today, Jean Paul is recognised as one of the United Kingdom’s most accomplished and respected game shots, admired for both his precision and his dedication to the craft. His expertise and perspective have led to regular features in leading shooting magazines, as well as a widely read monthly column where he shares insights, experience, and a voice grounded in authenticity.
His passion takes him across some of the finest country estates in the UK, where he continues to refine his skill and uphold the standards of true sportsmanship. Deeply passionate about field sports and the traditions that define them, Jean Paul remains a committed advocate for game shooting and its place in the modern countryside.
At the heart of it all is The Seated Gun—a brand that has grown into a highly recognised media presence within the shooting industry. Through engaging content across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, the brand showcases the reality of life in the field, promoting the countryside, the heritage of game shooting, and the many benefits it brings. Combining tradition with modern storytelling, The Seated Gun continues to educate, inspire, and connect a new generation to the world of field sports.
