lordhardup Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I went last year and enjoyed it, so thought I would go agian this year...and found it was what it said on the tin, BETTER. Was a bit narked to find that after having bought advanced tickets, it was quicker to pay with cash, the blokes in yellow jackets outside werent much help, after a bit of quizzing found out that no one had thought to give them any radios, so they didnt know what was going on either. Food on site was very expensive with no where really to sit and eat or have a cuppa, unless you wanted to use the shooters bar, yet more money. Air gun city was a joke, yes it was three times bigger than last year, but it was all empty floor space, I would have been well pist if I had traveled a long way for that. Lucky for me I made the change to fac. some years back. I thought that the show was great, I was one of the first through the doors and one of the last to leave without realising where the time had gone. Found some real bargins and quiet a few shocks, christ you could buy a house for the price some people would pay for a gun. All in all I had a fantastic day and will be there again next year,,, if its on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magus69 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Good day out if rather expensive for me!!. I went to pick up an Elderkins Greylag double 8 bore I had pre-reserved but also saw a Lincoln o/u in 10 bore and ended up with them both. A few other bits and bobs for myself and a bone china mug with a pic of a Lab the spit of mine on it for the mrs as a sweetener for coming home with yet 2 more guns!!. Mike...

Vipa Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Well, I thought it was awesome. I've been very disapointed with trade shows etc in the past and was even on the verge of not bothering with the drive down but I'm so glad I did. I only spent 3 hours there but as I went as billy no mates it doesn't take long to look at what you want to look at, buy what you want to buy and get out! If I'd been there with a mate or 2 I'd have been there all day and enjoyed every minute of it! Spent far more than I should have but got me a gorgeous pair of Aigle wellies, some new shoes, some waterproof troosies for the hide/beating and a fab little bag for my magnet battery!!! Definately be back next year, hopefully with some shooting buddies from oop norfff... would have been more fun as a crowd! Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the burgers were rank, but what its what you expect really from them type of burger vans.

Yorkshire Pudding Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Tom getting in for nowt was easy . I usually don't pay to get in to lots of places , a 20 min look round where ever you want to get in is enough . I love the bunking in , my love of bunking in started when me dad used to slip me in under the gate to see the mighty whites . all the best yis yp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
