“Holland & Holland is the very hallmark of fine British gunmaking and shooting. We represent the benchmark for exceptional craftsmanship and service, defining the quality standard that others aspire to. After all, we’ve been perfecting the art of shooting since 1835.” Almost two hundred years of killing: Holland & Holland are responsible for an awful lot of blood and animal abuse. Not that you’d get that from the glossy website, which features slow-motion video of wealthy people with guns walking over the lawns of stately homes or across grouse moors overlaid with that ludicrously self-important phrase “Perfecting the art of shooting since 1835.” Art? Calling the act of paying to be taken to kill birds on over-stocked estates with modern weaponry ‘art’ may pamper the already bloated egos of shooters but it is nothing of the sort. It’s just a very expensive hobby for people without empathy…
