tjsc Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi to all you East ridings of Yorkshire people, Need a little advice....Will be coming up your way next Tuesday, being picked up in a car from Brough and was wondering if there would be anywhere close by, within a few miles, where I could buy some cartridges, (name/website), pref 'Hull' 21gms. Appreciate your time/advice Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 If you only want close, then Duncan's in Hull will have cartridges. I don't know what they carry as I rarely go in there. There is also a shop in South Cave, but I can't remember the name. They tend to sell air rifles mostly, but have a few shotguns and cartridges. Depending which way you're driving after Brough, Pocklington is my usual shop (W Richards). They are just off the 1079 to York and a great shop to go into. They do their own line of guns which are all hand fitted in the shop. Highly recommend for a 'stop by'. They normally carry Hull cartridges.

casts_by_fly Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 I should mention that pocklington would be about 20-25 minutes each way out of your way from the A63/M62 at South Cave. Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjsc Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Hi Rick Thats funny we usually go for a pub meal in South Cave, cant remember the pub, I know you have to drive through into the car park behind the pub, anyway, after that we are heading for his home which is in a place called Shiptonthorpe, would your shop/place be anywhere that?? Thanks for taking time to answer my thread. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjsc Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Just rang a couple of shops, one in South Cave, the other in Hull, asked if they supplied 'Hull' Comp x 21 gram, both of them, more or less said 'dont touch them' they sell a lot through the back door'',(??) said they were running clay carts down because the 'gaming' season is soon starting!! one said they stocked Gamebore, any good??. Any other ports of call up there?? thanks Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casts_by_fly Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 if you're going to shiptonthorpe, then you're 5 minutes to pocklington. Map it out and you'll see it is 5 minutes. Small shop, but well worth the trip. http://www.wrichardsguns.co.uk/ Thanks, Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattslaptop247 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Theres a gunsmith in south cave,only about 3 or 4 miles from brough. It's called Wigglesworth's. They might be able to sort you out, if not Market Weighton Farm supplies in Market Weighton does them, its about 10 miles from Brough and as the others says, a little bit further is W Richards gunsmiths.

linny Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) they are nice guys aw at w Richards you can go a bit further up the road to york guns at dunington just off the a 1079 can be a bit snobby but very good selection Edited July 15, 2011 by linny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthedark Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 swillingtons mate, not far off the M1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjsc Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Thanks for the ideas gents!! At least one of them must do them!! Will give them all a try. Thanks again Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockercas Posted July 17, 2011 Report Share Posted July 17, 2011 Wigglesworth is a top bloke but he's always gose home at random times. W Richards is a decent shop Chris is very helpful. The other guys a bell end but there reasons for this. If your after x comps try muncton shooting ground 10 min from brough they stock them. Come out of brough and into south cave thru the main street past wiggleswoth shop keep going till you see signs for walkington turn right and up the big hill when you get to the top there is crossroads tern left and follow the road its just after a sharp bend on the right hand side. Pm if you want. Don't go to duncans its **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjsc Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Not having too much success!! Been ringing W Richards for three days now and cannot get a reply, must be on holiday!! Wigglesworthm South Cave, only sells Gamebore, (running them down because the shooting season is starting)!! Rang a gruff sounding gentleman at Monkton shooting ground, said he used a name I have never heard of, and that other cartridges are special order!! Oh well!! suppose I'll have to wait till I get back and get them from somewhere down here!! Thanks for all your help though. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockercas Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 I've been ringing poc aswell with no success. Munckton must of changed carts then because they used to stock hull x comps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockercas Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Just re read your posts. Just a guess was it duncans who said they sell them thru the back door if so its because the hull/gamebore factory is 5 mins across town and they will sell you them straight out the factory. Try ringing them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjsc Posted July 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 The bloke at monkton didnt answer either so I rang his mobile......a bit gruff!! Still not to worry. Its getting hard to spend your money anywhere. Someone was saying they dont make much money out of them!! TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
