We are Shogun - a team with character
Behind every package you open, every e-mail you receive and every piece of advice you get is a team of people who want to make a difference. No call centre, no standard sales pitch - but real enthusiasts, professionals and adventurers who want to help you move forward.
From warehouse to shop floor, from customer service to our repair department: everyone at Shogun brings something unique to the table. Some of us are avid airsofter or sports shooter, others are creative with technology, customer-oriented to the bone or just always in a good mood. You will find former teachers, hobbyists, mechanics, gamers, athletes and even a few cowgirls and boys. One colleague crochets superheroes in his spare time, another mentioned his greatest adventure... high school.
And then there's Nashville - our four-legged snooping intern, part-time log cabin burglar and full-time crumb inspector. She trusts women faster than men, likes to join meetings (if fed on time) and has already trained more Shogunners than we dare admit.
Shogun is all about honest advice, practical experience and just good stuff. We are users, builders, testers and avid tinkerers ourselves - so if we recommend something, it's because it works. Not because it should roll away in stock.
We believe in gear you can build on, service you can count on and colleagues who have your back. In the field and in the office.
So whether you walk in for your first loadout, have a technical question about your PCP kit or are just looking for a good reason to buy that new goggle after all: with us, you'll get someone on the line or on the floor who knows what he or she is talking about - and likes to talk about it.
Welcome to Shogun. Where we're serious about our stuff, but not about ourselves.
