With shooting season nearly here, leading retailer John Norris of Penrith is busy taking orders for its high quality country clothing products and shooting accessories.

The firm has found that despite tough economic conditions people continue to find a way of funding their favourite pastimes, including shooting. In recent weeks, shooting enthusiasts have been placing orders to ensure they are fully prepared for the shooting season, which begins later this summer and runs through to winter.

John Norris stocks products from some of the most reputable brands in the country clothing and shooting accessories market, including Barbour, Dubarry, Hunter, Musto and Le Chameau. The retailer says that people who are passionate about shooting are also passionate about owning the best quality products.

"People who go shooting regularly know there is no compromise when it comes to owning the right equipment, accessories and country clothes for shooting," commented a spokesperson for John Norris. "The quality of the products really does make a difference to the experience, from feeling comfortable throughout the day to ensuring your shooting equipment is protected from damage."

Some of the products being eluded to include shooting bags, cartridge bags, waterproof jackets, trousers, gloves, hearing and eye protection and thermals. John Norris says all of these products, and more besides, are very popular at this time of year.

"The Glorious Twelfth – 12 August – is soon upon us. This is the official start of the shooting season for red grouse in the UK and is traditionally one of the busiest days in the sport's calendar," the spokesperson added. "As it is against the law for the shooting season to begin on a Sunday, which August 12 is, this year's shooting season will begin a day later. But that won't stop shooting enthusiasts from getting themselves prepared in advance."

Another reason for the busy period John Norris is experiencing is the summer sale the retailer has launched. With as much as 70% off a number of products, there are some great bargains to be had ahead of the shooting season.
