Whether you need a shotgun fitted, a pallet of Eurotarget clays or a pair of field boots, McCloys Country Attire in Toomebridge is built around expert advice — in person and over the phone.
A shop that still talks guns
McCloys is a country store in the useful sense: you can walk in with a question and leave with an answer, not just a bag. Shotguns, rifles, air rifles, optics, ammunition, clays, clothing and the accessories that make them work are all under one roof at 10 Creagh Road, Toomebridge, Co Antrim, BT41 3SE. The website is there so you can browse and order when you cannot call in. The shop is there for the decisions that need a gun in your shoulder or a boot on your foot.
We are used to first-time buyers, keepers restocking, and trade customers who need a lorry-load of clays by Friday. The conversation is the same: what are you trying to do, and what will actually work on Irish ground? If the honest answer is “not that model”, we will say so.
What you can sort in store
Guns are the obvious reason to visit. Handling a 12-bore next to a 20-bore, checking how a rifle sits with a moderator, or talking through an air rifle for pest control is faster in person. Bring your certificate and, where it helps, the firearm you already own. Mounting a new scope is much easier when the rifle is on the counter.
The same applies to optics, clothing and footwear, and accessories. Binoculars have to fit your hands. Boots have to fit your feet. A coat has to let you mount. Those are poor mail-order guesses and easy in-store jobs.
Typical visits
- Choosing a first or replacement shotgun with a proper mount and cartridge talk.
- Upgrading a rifle scope and having mounts that match the action.
- Trade orders of Eurotarget clays with delivery and Moffett offload.
- Fitting country clothing before a driven day or a wet season on the farm.
- Advice on cabinets, slips, bipods and the kit that sits around the gun.
Shop online when you already know
If you know the cartridge, the clay, the oil or the size, order online. Selected products offer next-day delivery, which matters when a shoot is at the end of the week. The site covers the same ground as the shop: guns, optics, reloading and ammunition, clays, clothing, accessories, trade and brands. Use it to check stock and specifications, then call if the last step needs a human.
Secure online payment and a team that actually shoots and outfits people is the point of the Magento store — not a brochure that never answers the phone. If an order is wrong or a size is off, contact us and we will sort it. Returns and delivery details are on the site; the short version is that we would rather you had kit that works.
Trade, clays and the busy season
McCloys is Ireland’s largest Eurotarget clay distributor. Grounds and retailers use us because the targets are consistent and the logistics are real: pallets, timings, and trade transport including Moffett offload where the site needs it. If you run a layout, talk to us before the calendar fills up. Spring practice and autumn charity shoots are predictable; running out of orange clays on a Saturday is also predictable if nobody ordered.
How to reach us
Call +44 (0) 28 7965 0641, email info@mccloys.com, or come to Toomebridge. Tell us what you shoot and what the day looks like. From the moor to the clay ground, we will kit it out — in store, online, or a mix of both. Expert advice is not a slogan on the homepage. It is the reason to shop with McCloys rather than with a box and no conversation.
