After much deliberation and with some reluctance, we have taken the very difficult decision to retire. 
Whilst not averse to selling the business for the right price, we have not advertised it for sale. 
We feel probably the easiest route for us is to simply sell up the stock we currently have at discounted prices and then close the doors. 
As we wind the business down, we will still be taking orders to supply at regular prices and accepting some part exchanges on a very limited basis.
Generally, new stock which has arrived post 1/9/24 will not be reduced and can be recognised in store by prominent orange tickets.
Eventually we plan to rent out the property so another, probably very different business, can thrive. 
We both started work in retail at an early age and went on to open our own business together in 1985 living on the premises with our three young daughters aged 5, 3, and 1. This was one of the happiest times of our life together. 
Eventually our three daughters joined us in the business as did one of our Granddaughters.
We felt blessed to work with our family and other members of staff who feel like part of our family. We wish to thank all our customers over the decades, many of who have become true friends and it has been a pleasure to meet some 2nd and 3rd generation customers.
We have dealt with lots of lovely people within the gun trade and many suppliers over the years who we thank for their support through good and difficult times.

Sincerely
Tim and Janet McAvoy and Family
