The last horn has sounded. Guns are back in the cabinet, boots by the door, dogs finally sleeping a little longer in the mornings. But here’s the thing most people miss…
What you do now, at the end of the season, quietly decides how good next season will be.
This is the moment where small habits make a big difference — to your kit, your gundogs, your freezer, and your own readiness when autumn rolls back around.
Inside, the guide walks you through:
-
How to put your guns away properly so they come back out a joy to shoot
-
The simple off-season care that extends the life of your boots, clothing and kit
-
A smarter way to reset your shooting bag so nothing is missing come opening day
-
How to keep gundogs ticking over without overdoing it
-
Making the most of what’s already in your freezer
-
And the quiet forward planning that makes next season feel effortless
What to look forward to
The Game Fair is where people come to reflect on the shooting season just gone, learn more about the field sport, discover new kit, and have relaxed conversations that help them feel more confident going forward.
At the Game Fair you can:
-
Ask questions about shooting, guns and laws
-
See what’s new and understand what you really need
-
Replace or upgrade kit when the time is right
-
Learn how to prepare properly for the months ahead
From browsing Gunmakers’ Row and handling kit in person, to speaking directly with knowledgeable organisations like BASC, The Game Fair is welcoming, informative, and designed for anyone interested in shooting and field sports — whether you’re just starting out or finding your feet.
