History
Ray Ward (5 May 1923 – 15 July 2013) compiled numerous national and European titles in many shooting disciplines, especially his favourite, skeet.[5] In 1961, after his career, he opened his own business, Continental Sports in Redhill, Surrey, selling a wide range of sports equipment and accessories. He soon began supplying shotgun cartridges for a local gun shop, and Ray Ward Gunsmith was born. In 1994, Ray Ward opened a showroom in the middle of the English gun trade in Knightsbridge, London. The company was bought by Dubai based JMH Group in 2006.
