More than a century has passed since Edwin John Churchill set up his gunmaking workshop in London in 1891, laying the foundations of a name that now sees E.J.Churchill as one of the world’s finest gunmakers. E.J.Churchill is thriving today. Led by passionate spor tsmen, it remains the largest gunmaker in British hands. The style, elegance, reliability and technical innovation of Churchill guns make them the natural choice for the keen shot. We are the only shooting business in the U.K. that has its own gunmaking facility, shooting ground, corporate entertainment company and sporting agency. This makes E.J.Churchill unique and enables us to cater for all our clients’ sporting needs under one roof. Our home is the West Wycombe Estate, just outside London, seat of the Dashwood family.

Sporting in the U.K . Our Sporting Agency is dedicated to providing a very professional and personal service to our clients. Unlike others we do not charge clients extra commission. Our Directors are recognised as being amongst the Country’s top shots and their experience and contacts in the shooting world is unrivalled. This allows us to offer you sport on some of the most exclusive Estates and Grouse Moors. We are unique in having both E.J.Churchill Gunmakers and our own Shooting Ground to help with customer requirements, whether it be for guns and equipment, transport or instructors to help in the field. We specialise in driven grouse, pheasant and partridge. We are also the leading agency in providing shooting for individual guns and small groups who want to enjoy a day’s shooting but don’t have a full team.
Shooting Abroad Our extensive resources and expertise in the game shooting world covers such places as Spain (partridges), South America (duck and dove), Turkey (wild boar and ibex) and Africa (plains game). Wild Boar in Turkey E.J.Churchill has the exclusive U.K. agency for Wild Hunting in Turkey for wild boar and Bezoar Ibex. The wild boar are amongst the largest trophies in Europe and can be stalked at night under the moon or driven to small groups of hunters. The terrain and accommodation are superb. Partridge in Spain We regularly take clients to shoot at some of Spain’s finest partridge shoots. With superb sport, weather, food and accommodation, these shoots are particularly popular in February in March.
In-field instruction It is almost impossible to prepare a shooter for the excitement of a covey of grouse hurtling towards you or a flush of pheasants erupting from a distant game cover. There are many factors which need to be taken into consideration whilst shooting game. Practice helps but having a professional on hand when shooting really makes a difference. Our instructors spend many days every season helping clients on shoots throughout the Country. We specialise in enhancing your skill and also teach the etiquette and safety aspects where required.
