OUR HERITAGE

Lets take a journey back to where it all began – 1947 and Sydney Bontoft’s vision to produce The Finest Ammunition. Handcrafted cartridges produced with meticulous attention in small batches – the accent being on Quality and Consistency.  Three Crowns varnished paper case, quintessential English loads designed for side by sides, the unmistakable  aroma  wafting through the air.

Cut to the 21st Century and the range has expanded considerably to offer game and clay shooters, at all levels, a cartridge that delivers uncompromising performance enabling them to reach their full potential.

The face of shooting is evolving.  Lead shot for game shooting and probably clay will eventually be phased out.  This is not a time to rest on on one’s laurels.  The close contact between our R&D Team, top competitors, infield specialists and choke and barrel technology experts, delivers innovation to drive the Hull brand and is crucial to the future success of our sport.  As we embrace these new technologies, safety and environmental impact continue to be paramount, as are Sydney’s key principles which still hold firm today.  Hull is a family business now run by 3rd and 4th generation shooters with the support of a knowledgeable, talented  team.  The Three Crowns brand, where it all began is still available.
