Wildsports adverts

These ads appeared in Outdoor magazines in the late 1980s, and were quite memorable. I reproduce them here for a bit of fun. Not sure who the artist(s) was(were) but much enjoyment was had trying to read these ads. I think these smallish jpegs are readable.

I found this link for Wildsports, but there's little information there. They do appear to be still trading however.
