Sporting Gun Show

Sporting Gun Show

11th August - 12th August

This exciting new annual event over the late summer weekend will appeal to all shooters and their families. We plan to bring the magazine to life with a host of interactive demonstrations and sporting features that involve many of the famous names found in Sporting Gun each month - and more.
In addition to top displays in the main arena by Ye Olde Redtail Falconry, Adams Axemen, and more, the Shooting Answers live forum will see expert gundog trainers, gamekeepers, shooting instructors, gunsmiths, pigeon shooters, stalkers, wildfowlers and game shooters sharing their knowledge with show goers.
They will also be on hand to help newcomers get started in shooting.
