A Weekend of Sporting Excellence

Longthorne were proud to sponsor the British FITASC Championship last weekend, held at the outstanding West Midlands Shooting Ground.

With exceptional weather, a superb venue and some of Britain’s finest shots competing, it was a privilege to be part of such a prestigious event.

FITASC represents the very best of sporting shooting — precision, discipline, skill and an enduring passion for the sport. These are qualities that resonate deeply with us at Longthorne.

Our thanks to the organisers and everyone involved for an impeccably run event, and congratulations to all the competitors who took to the stands.

A pleasure to be there, and a privilege to support British shooting at its very best.

Longthorne Gunmakers, Precision. Performance. Perfection.

Luxury isn’t just what you see, it’s what you can’t.
Every Longthorne sh***un begins with uncompromising engineering. Precision-machined components, manufactured to exemplary tolerances, come together with meticulous craftsmanship to create a sh***un that performs as beautifully as it looks.
It’s this relentless pursuit of perfection, where every micron matters and every part is engineered to work in complete harmony, that defines the Longthorne difference. The result is exceptional balance, flawless reliability, and a shooting experience that reflects true British luxury.
