Shooting events: competitions, shows, clay shoots and gundog trials
If it matters to the shooting community, you’ll find it here. Sporting Gun’s events section is your central resource for what’s on across the UK shooting calendar – from major trade shows and prestigious game fairs to local clay shoots, gundog trials and picking-up days.
We cover the events that define the shooting year, including the British Shooting Show, the Game Fair, BASC’s national events and regional competitions across clay, game and rough shooting disciplines. Whether you’re chasing a podium finish, looking for a relaxed day on the clays with friends, or scoping out the latest gear from leading manufacturers, our listings and previews keep you ahead of the calendar.
Beyond the listings, our team attends and reports from key events throughout the season, bringing you show highlights, competition results, new product launches and the stories that matter to shooters across the UK.
Don’t miss a shot. Stay in the loop.
