Pick your field sports favourites across 14 categories at the Great British Shooting Awards 2021
The shortlists are in and now it’s up to you, the voting public, to pick the winners for Great British Shooting Awards 2021.
We have received hundreds of nominations and thanks to our dedicated judging panel we have whittled the competition into five shortlisted entries per category. 14 of the 15 categories are chosen 100 per cent by the shooting public; including rifles, ammunition, optics, night vision and thermal, and stalker of the year awards.
Last year your votes helped Sporting Rifle claim the award for Outstanding Contribution to Conservation, recognising our work with Save The Rhino. Meanwhile, our own Chris Dalton was named as Stalker of the Year for the second consecutive year. Brands including Deerhunter, Nightforce, Pulsar, Tikka and Browning were also recognised by the shooting community.
Dont miss the chance to cast your all important vote. The deadline for public voting is 7 March 2021, with the winners to be announced in a special virtual ceremony. For more information, visit www.greatbritishshootingawards.com and cast your votes! ■
