It's The Little Things
Sporting Shooter|December 2017

Ian Hodge runs a thriving fieldsports shop with a friendly atmosphere, and takes pride in stocking those hard-to-find items you’ll struggle to come across elsewhere.

It's The Little Things

A brief history

Ian Hodge Shooting and Fieldsports started in 1991 selling field sports equipment via mail order. Within a few months it had been built up into a small shop on the Hodge family farm. The shop began selling airguns in 1994 and became a registered firearms dealer in 1996.

By 2000, a new shop was needed, which they proceeded to build on the site of an old silage pit. As the shop has grown in popularity over the years, it has been gradually extended to accommodate its growing clientele, with a major extension completed last year.
