Here at Drapers Gun Centre we are all getting excited to be at the Great British Shooting Show this weekend, which you can catch us at on Sunday. We just love to see all the familiar faces coming together once again to celebrate this great hobby so we thought we’d tell you a little about what’s going on for those of you out of the loop.

What is the Great British Shooting Show?

As stated on their website the Great British Shooting Show is an opportunity to educate and inform. Everyone wants to keep the sport alive and this is an opportunity for all of us to become more knowledgeable on all the different aspects of shooting, helpful for us with our current move into Shotguns and Shotgun Cartridges!

It’s also a good opportunity to get out there and see what companies have on offer as the show offers a fantastic platform for companies to announce new products, just earlier this month we got to have a sneak peak at a new offering from Hawke so be sure to look out for their stall if you get the chance.

And finally it’s for conservation and inspiration with the BASC coming to the show there is an emphasis on wildlife preservation while we all enjoy the hunting side of shooting it is important for us to maintain a low impact on the environment and wildlife so that we can keeping shooting available not only for ourselves but also future generations of shooters.

Who’s going?

As we said earlier there are going to be lots of familiar faces at the show. Not only are all the regulars going to be there such as Hawke, Air Arms, BSA, Edgar Brothers, Elite Optical and so on but also the whole Drapers Team so don’t be afraid to say hi if you catch one of the lads drooling over what new Airsoft guns are coming out or Karen getting lost in a crowd!

We’re also looking forward to seeing those outside of the show having organized to meet up with the great people at Sportsman Gun Centre and John Rothery Wholesale and being able to have a chat and some food with like minded people at the event.

Most importantly we’re also looking forward to seeing you our customers, some of which we know are going and others going to be a friendly surprise, not only on the Sunday when we’re there but also on the Saturday for those of you coming round our way before or after the show since we’re still open usual hours.

For those who can’t make it

For those who can’t make it, we are sorry to miss you but we have some good news! As part of Team Drapers going to the Great British Shooting Show we will be filming and picturing the whole of Sunday to really give you the highlights of what went on, and be sure to keep an eye out on the video side for some fun secrets coming later in the year…

Finally we’d like to thank everyone who has already gone to the Great British Shooting Show not only as fans of shooting but also suppliers, shops and friends we’re all looking forward to going here at Drapers Gun Centre and can’t wait to see what’s next.
