Shooting gear: expert reviews of clothing, accessories and equipment
The right gear doesn’t just make you more comfortable – it makes you a better shot. Sporting Gun’s gear hub brings you honest, independent reviews of the equipment that serious game and clay shooters actually rely on.
Our team of experienced shots tests everything from shooting clothing and footwear to ear and eye protection, gun slips, cartridge bags and cleaning kits through to dog boxes, vehicle accessories and 4×4 reviews for the shooting field. Whether you’re building a kit from scratch ahead of your first season or considering an upgrade on a trusted favourite, our reviews assess performance, durability, value and real-world usability.
We cover products across every price point, from budget-friendly essentials to premium investments worth saving for, with practical buying advice to help you spend wisely. Brands covered include Beretta, Browning, Harkila, Seeland, Jack Pyke and Ridgeline.
