Hi Tim,

For such a big shooting county gun shops, particularly selling air rifles, seem to be pretty thin on the ground in Shropshire. When I were but a lad I can remember Turner's in Wellington (Mr Turner used to be very patient with some of us schoolboys who wanted to try out the latest Webley and BSA offerings in the big tin shed at the back of his shop at the bottom of Market Street). In Shrewsbury I can remember Gordon Foresters in Barket Street and Ebrall's by the Welsh Bridge - both long gone.

I haven't visited either, but I've heard that Camber's at Harley (between Much Wenlock and Cressage) and Feather & Fin in Shifnal both stock quite a decent range, but I don't know what they're like on prices. I'd like to find a decent local shop myself, I tend to by most of my stuff over the web.
