Another Shooting Shed and it is not us...

I am not sure if anyone has come across a site theshootingshed.com and I am not even sure if they are an RFD, however they seem to have products similar to ours, and wording on their site which is very similar to ours.

What I will say is they are nothing to do with ‘Shooting Shed Ltd’ or our www.shootingshed.co.uk or shootingshed.com sites and they certainly are not on our RFD certificate. What I can say is they are UK based and their site has only been up for a couple of months and they are currently ignoring our attempts to contact them…. I have no idea why they have chosen name and domain so close to ours.

So to clarify, we are in the Lincolnshire Wolds and are a Lincolnshire RFD.

Their Instagram has images claiming they have been going since 2011.

They claim 2011 (We launched our site in 2012) Their site was actually registered in September 2020 and there is no trace of them on the Way Back Machine(Archive.org) Whereas we are confirmed in 2012 in the current iteration. I did not check our original website which was a bit older.

I clicked on the link a couple of times by mistake thinking it was this forum. As far as I can see they are a clothing company.

I found the one you are refering to its not the same one as the clothing company. So there are two other companies as well as yourselves trading as the shooting shed.
Not good not good at all.

When I put "The Shooting Shed" into Google your business comes up on at least the first two pages of searches with nothing showing for this other outfit. :good:

Looks like they are part of the field target scene, so I suspect unlikely to be RFDs as they are only dealing with accessories for sub 12ft/lb air rifles.

Their Instagram appears to be as new as their website.
