Bisley

Bisley is the house brand of John Rothery Wholesale, a trade-only shooting supplier based at Rothery House in Waterlooville, Hampshire. The family firm grew out of John Rothery's gun shops and turned to wholesale in 1971; the Bisley name was registered in 1988 and has since grown into a broad range of shooting kit. Under its own name it offers compressors and pumps, breathing-air cylinders for charging PCP and HPA gear, rifle bipods, airgun pellets, paper targets and target equipment, red dot sights and scope mounts, slings and swivels, gun covers, bags and cases, electronic hearing protection, gun care products, shooting sticks and recoil pads. The firm sells only to the trade, so players buy Bisley products through gun shops and airsoft retailers across the UK; a dealer locator on its site finds the nearest stockist. The same company also wholesales many outside brands, including airsoft and airgun names such as ASG, Swiss Arms, KWC, Crosman and Umarex.
