Why The Great British Shooting Show matters
The Great British Shooting Show has rapidly established itself as one of the most important events in the UK shooting calendar. Unlike smaller regional fairs, TGBSS brings together the entire shooting ecosystem under one roof - from manufacturers and importers to RFDs, clubs, outfitters and individual shooters.
A trade and community hub
Industry data consistently shows that face-to-face engagement remains crucial in the shooting world. According to recent UK field sports surveys, over 70% of RFDs say in-person events directly influence supplier and platform decisions, particularly when it comes to trust, compliance and long-term partnerships.
TGBSS isn’t just about browsing products - it’s about:
Discovering new routes to market
Understanding regulatory pressures and buyer behaviour
Building relationships that last beyond the show floor
For Rightgun.uk, that makes the event the perfect environment to talk honestly about where the UK firearms marketplace is heading.
Who should visit the Rightgun.uk stand?
Our presence at TGBSS 2026 is designed to deliver value across the board - whether you’re selling, buying or simply exploring what’s next.
Registered Firearms Dealers (RFDs)
If you’re an RFD, our stand is especially relevant to you. The UK firearms retail landscape has changed dramatically over the past decade. Footfall has declined, overheads have increased, and online expectations are higher than ever.
Rightgun.uk exists to help RFDs:
Reach thousands of verified buyers nationwide
Advertise new and used firearms without losing control
Generate enquiries that convert into compliant, in-store sales
Compete fairly with larger retailers while retaining independence
Whether you’re a single-shop dealer or a multi-site operation, we’ll show how the platform adapts to your scale.
Shooters and enthusiasts
For shooters, collectors and enthusiasts, Rightgun.uk has become one of the largest UK-focused marketplaces for firearms, optics, ammunition, shooting equipment and shooting days.
If you’re attending TGBSS as a shooter, visit our stand to:
Learn how to find trusted UK dealers in your region
Understand how buying and selling works legally and safely
Discover features that help you compare listings with confidence
See how Rightgun.uk supports responsible ownership
Buyers and sellers of new & used guns
The second-hand firearms market is more active than ever. Industry estimates suggest that used firearms account for over 40% of private purchasing decisions in the UK shooting market.
Rightgun.uk provides:
A transparent, dealer-led marketplace
Clear listings with real stock, not expired ads
A safer alternative to fragmented forums and classifieds
If you buy, sell or trade regularly, our stand will show you how to get the most from the platform.
The problems Rightgun.uk solves
Rightgun.uk wasn’t built as “just another classifieds site”. It was created in response to real, ongoing frustrations voiced by UK dealers and shooters.
Problem 1: Limited reach beyond local footfall
Many RFDs rely heavily on local customers and word-of-mouth. While loyalty is valuable, it restricts growth.
Rightgun.uk expands your reach nationally, putting your stock in front of thousands of active, search-driven buyers who are already looking for specific makes, models and calibres.
Problem 2: Time wasted on poor-quality enquiries
Unqualified enquiries, tyre-kickers and time-wasters cost dealers money.
Our platform focuses on:
Serious buyers
Clear listings with accurate pricing
Dealer-controlled contact and enquiry handling
This dramatically improves enquiry quality and conversion rates.
Problem 3: Fragmented online presence
Many dealers juggle:
A basic website
Social media posts
Forums
Multiple small ad platforms
Rightgun.uk consolidates your online presence into one professional, search-optimised marketplace that works alongside your existing website - not against it.
Problem 4: Trust and compliance concerns
Compliance is non-negotiable in the UK firearms market.
Rightgun.uk is built around:
UK firearms law
Clear separation between advertising and physical transfer
At TGBSS, we’ll explain exactly how this protects both dealers and buyers.
What we’ll be showcasing at TGBSS 2026
Our stand won’t just be a logo and a leaflet. We’re bringing the platform to life.
Live platform demonstrations
Visitors will be able to see:
How dealers list firearms, optics and accessories
How buyers search by calibre, brand and location
How enquiries are generated and managed
We’ll walk you through real-world use cases, not marketing fluff.
Dealer growth tools
We’ll be showcasing:
Dealer profiles and branding
Stock visibility and search performance
Promotional opportunities within Rightgun.uk
If you’ve ever asked, “How do I actually sell more online without racing to the bottom on price?” - this is where we answer it.
Pro membership features
Rightgun.uk Pro has been developed in direct response to dealer feedback.
At the show, we’ll explain:
What Pro includes
Who it’s best suited for
How it supports long-term sales, not short-term clicks
Market insight and trends
We’ll also be sharing insights from platform data, including:
Popular calibres and categories
Seasonal buying trends
How buyer behaviour has shifted post-COVID
This kind of data helps dealers plan stock more intelligently.
What makes Rightgun.uk different?
The UK shooting community is built on reputation. Rightgun.uk reflects that ethos.
We are:
UK-focused, not a global generic platform
Dealer-led, not peer-to-peer chaos
Built for compliance, not workarounds
Designed for growth, not just listings
At TGBSS 2026, we’re not just exhibiting - we’re listening. Many of our best features have come directly from conversations with RFDs on show floors just like this.
