neil smith Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Even better just break it down and put it in your overnight bag Not so easy with a semi-auto or a pump gun as the mag tube tends to stick out unless its a really big bag But a good solution for the more traditional guns.

PhilR Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Even better get Chard to book the hotel, it will be several hundred miles from the nearest shooting ground, so no one will think to look there. On that subject where are you lot staying? Best PM me though otherwise we could be murdered in our beds and robbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeds chimp Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 In 2009 I was in the CZ republic for a shotgun competition held over multiple days, there were shooters from all over europe, & some guys from Greece were followed back to where they were staying & robbed of their guns. So it can happen, but factors like having a foreign registration plate & leaving guns in cars is just asking for trouble, when abroad its best to rent a local car when transporting guns. I expect it happens infrequently over here but the chances that crooks surf on forums in order to steal guns is unlikely but you never know. I try to keep staying in hotels down to a minimum, but if you have to then don't carry your gun in a gun slip from the car as its obvious what you have with you, better to use a hard case like a pelican or storm as they are also used by photographers & surveyors, then chain & lock the whole thing to something solid in the room, the old large cast radiators are ideal for that. N would a violin case be better then like in the movies??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timps Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 We won't be overnighting for Orston Going on the **** the night before is just for people who need an excuse for their **** shooting the morning after. True story. That's only because it's being held in the middle of the country so there isn't a hotel far enough away for you to book into....... It's all about the night before...........

bakerboy Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) I stayed at the Vale of Belvoir Inn over the weekend for the Newark Show, I did not realise how close it is to the Village of Orston, I do not have clue where it is in relation to the Shooting Ground. The Hotel was pretty good as was the Food, the service and the staff was excellent. The rooms are good lots of twins and singles. If I was not already booked (and paid) at a Travel Lodge I would certainly pay the little extra and stay here again. 01949 850 800 phone number if interested Edited February 27, 2012 by bakerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
