There are some events that remind you exactly why fieldsports hold such a special place in British life, and the Wilde & Glorious Ladies Cup is one of them. Held in the prestigious Holland and Holland Shooting Grounds, it brought 90+ women together who share a passion for shooting, and a sense of community that continues to grow year on year.
As proud sponsors of this fantastic event, we were delighted to see such a strong turnout. From experienced shots, to those newer to the sport, the atmosphere was welcoming, encouraging and full of determination, with just the right amount of friendly competition.
A standout event for women's shooting

The day offered not only a chance to compete, but also an opportunity to connect, learn and celebrate shared interest in a relaxed countryside setting.

The standard of shooting throughout the day was impressive. Scores were tight, with several standout performances. Congratulations to all that took part.
Beyond the results, some of the most memorable moments came from the camaraderie both on and off the pegs. Laughter between stands, shared advice and simple pleasure of spending time outdoors all added to the experience.
