Nikwax Cleaning and Waterproofing Products - perfect for cleaning your shooting gear before putting it away for the closed season.

The shooting season is over and it’s time to put away all your shooting clothing but, before you do, be sure to make sure you get your kit cleaned to prolong its life and ensure it is at its best when you get it out again next season.

Nikwax Cleaning Products are simply fantastic. The range of Nikwax products covers cleaning and re-proofing for absolutely everything, from footwear to tents and clothing to horse rugs. The code for Nikwax is simple; green for clean and purple for waterproofing. We would always recommend cleaning your clothing and footwear before re-proofing and did you know that if your waterproof clothing isn’t performing to its best,  it might not need to be reproofed? Often it just needs a good clean as dirt and residue can build up on the surface affecting its ability to breathe and repel water.

At Barnack Country Clothes we stock Nikwax products because they are easy to use, safe, have minimal impact on the environment and do the job intended. Our staff are trained on how to use the products so can advise which product is most suitable for your garments. Our bestsellers include the Nikwax Tech Wash which is suitable for cleaning most items, Nikwax TX Direct Wash-In which is the simple way to re-proof garments in the washing machine and Nikwax Polar Proof – who would have known how simple it is to make fleece highly water repellent before finding this product?

Nikwax will help to extend the life of your outdoor and country clothing whilst keeping it performing at its best whilst you are battling the elements. Click here to view our full range of Nikwax Cleaning and Waterproofing Products.

Women can shoot too! Visit Ladies Shooting - an informative, fun and inspiring website.

I recently stumbled across a fantastic website which is informative, fun, friendly, helpful and inspiring; www.ladies-shooting.com. In a hobby and sport which is dominated by men, this website must be visited by any ladies who have any involvement or interest in shooting. Ladies-Shooting also have forums, Facebook, Twitter and an array of experts willing to give you advice on just about anything.

The story behind Ladies Shooting began when Victoria Knowles-Lacks, 28 from Worcestershire picked up a shotgun a few years ago, she says “I had been beating a few times when I was younger but never really got that into it. I started having clay lessons in 2010. I was totally addicted immediately, I loved the buzz and just knew I was in it for the long haul. I wanted to get to a fairly decent standard then have a go at driven shooting. Thing is I didn’t find the people at the shooting club very forthcoming, nor could I really find any information on the internet detailing all of the important stuff, i.e the law on shooting, how to get a licence, what to wear, when I could shoot game, how or where to buy a gun, what sort of gun to get, how much to spend, what sort of things you can shoot – I had so many questions but couldn’t really find many answers which I thought was ridiculous. I tried a few more shooting grounds for lessons and couldn’t believe how few girls there were.” this inspired Victoria to do something about it “I spent a small fortune on shooting books, magazines, joined countless forums, websites, went to game fairs, country shows, joined BASC and literally hassled local farmers, found a local shoot and went and pestered a game keeper and literally drew information from wherever I could, learnt as I went along and threw it all onto a website.” Victoria put all this work in during her spare time whilst working full time, planning her wedding and training for a marathon – we think it was well worth it as the website is simply fantastic.

Ladies-Shooting.com went live on the 1st August 2011 and the idea of the site is to encourage more girls in to shooting, plus there are lots of informative guest blogs including The Pregnant Shot – a lady who is 6 months pregnant with twins and is still shooting, Davina Rowe who competes locally, fashion fixes, recipes and tonnes of technical advice such as how cartridges are made and buying your first gun.

Victoria also runs introductory clay days called ‘The Shotgun & Chelsea Bun Club‘ days which are non-profit girls only fun days which include clays, cartridges, expert tuition, and a gorgeous afternoon tea which provide a really fun and safe environment to learn to shoot, with no men around and therefore no pressure (some guys can be really judegemental can’t they!).

Here at Barnack Country Clothes we are truly inspired by Victoria and her website Ladies-Shooting.com and our message to any ladies wanting to try shooting is to go for it! Our website www.barnack.co.uk stocks a range of Women’s Country Clothing suitable for shooting, beating, picking up or just going along for a social. We stock ladies shooting jackets, women’s breeks, shirts, jumpers, shooting socks, hats, gloves and scarves, wellies and leather country boots plus our Shooting Clothing area includes an array of Shooting Accessories from dog whistles to cartridge bags. We’d like to wish Victoria and any current or future lady guns lots of luck, keep up the good work!
