We're thrilled to announce that Air Arms will be exhibiting at the Great British Shooting Show 2026, taking place from 13th to 15th February at the NEC in Birmingham. As the UK's largest retailer show for shooting sports enthusiasts, the GBSS is the perfect place to discover what's new in the world of air rifles, and we can't wait to meet you there. Whether you're a seasoned competitor, a weekend plinker, or someone looking to get into the sport, our stand will have something special for everyone.

This year promises to be bigger and better than ever, and the Air Arms team is pulling out all the stops to make sure your visit to our stand is memorable. From trying the latest rifles on our have-a-go range to entering an incredible prize draw, there's never been a better time to experience what makes Air Arms the choice of champions.

A Complete Showcase of Air Arms Excellence

When you visit the Air Arms stand in the Air Rifle section, you'll find our complete range of airguns on display. This is your chance to get up close and personal with some of the finest air rifles available today, including the legendary Air Arms Ultimate Sporter, the competition-ready HFT500, the precision-engineered XTi-50, and the X200 Vanguard.

Speaking of the X200 Vanguard, we're incredibly proud to announce that it's been shortlisted for Airgun of the Year, with the winner being announced over the weekend at the show. This rifle has already turned heads across the shooting community, and we're keeping our fingers crossed for the big announcement. Make sure you stop by to see what all the excitement is about.

But that's not all. We're also showcasing something new – the XTi-50 Benchrest version. This latest addition to our XTi family offers a complete shooting platform that's perfect for benchrest enthusiasts. Whether you're looking for a complete rifle or want to add the benchrest configuration to an existing XTi-50, this is your opportunity to see it in person and discover how it can elevate your benchrest game. You can learn more about the technical specifications at https://resources.air-arms.co.uk/xti-50-benchrest, but nothing beats seeing it with your own eyes.

Additionally, we'll be displaying the complete Precihole range, giving you the chance to explore even more options for your shooting needs. With such a comprehensive lineup on show, there's plenty to see, handle, and discuss with our team.

Try Before You Buy on Our Have-a-Go Range

Here's where things get really exciting. We're not just displaying our rifles – we're inviting you to shoot them. Our have-a-go range will be set up at the stand, giving you the opportunity to try any rifle from our extensive collection. There's simply no substitute for feeling the balance, experiencing the trigger, and hearing that satisfying thwack as pellet meets target.

Whether you've been eyeing up the Ultimate Sporter for hunting, considering the HFT500 for target competition, curious about the new XTi-50 Benchrest, or intrigued by the X200 Vanguard, you can try them all. This hands-on experience is invaluable when choosing your next airgun, and our team will be right there to answer questions and offer guidance as you shoot.

The pricing is incredibly reasonable too – just £3 for 10 shots or £5 for 20 shots. It's a small investment that could help you make one of the best purchasing decisions of your shooting career.

But here's the cherry on top: everyone who has a go on our range will be automatically entered into our fantastic prize draw. The lucky winner will walk away with a brand new X200 Vanguard rifle, 10 tins of premium pellets, an Air Arms cap, a t-shirt, and a sweatshirt. It's a prize package worth celebrating, and it could be yours just for trying out our rifles. Even if you don't win the grand prize, you'll have gained valuable experience with some of the finest air rifles on the market.
