paulos Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 no skeet, but there is almost everything else! 50 bird sporting championships each day, trap, team flushes, clay snooker, rabbit mania, muzzle loaders... 20 rips to enter the daily championships so a bit dear by normal standards, but worth it imho ps. the website has all the info on it i think?

Mungler Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 The people I shoot with are going and are camping out for the whole 3 days. I understand that the Saturday is mobbed (being the day I would go, if the missus stamps my exit Visa). Any top tricks or tips to avoid queues, hazards and any disappointment? Someone posted that they would be taking their trials bike because they lived locally - now that's a good idea. What time does it open and what time does it get busy?

Ferret Master Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 Well, met up with Beatingisbest as planned. We then met Paul Hart, just as we were leaving Paul's stand somebody else ambles up wearing a PW badge; the designer himself. The one and only Axe. I spent the rest of the day shooting clays, bought a 'gone shooting shirt' bought some cartridges, picked up around 8 bags full or free sporting magazines. Saw John Wilson doing a fishing demo, half watched a James Mckay demo, bought some ferret bite (made by the smae people as ferretvite) and walking and eyeing up varous nice little 20 bores. Anyone know anything about the Yildiz range? Another funny thing... Beatingisbest was let near a Purdey. FM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiiish1987 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hi. cla was great. its quite surreal seeing people wandering around with brand new shotguns left right and centre. went up with 2oo quid and somehow all i bought was 2 opinal knives (no.8 and a slinky loking elite thing), a sharpener and a buffalo burger! Did'nt spot anyone with pw badges there though. does anyone know when the cla will be back? Also is anyone going to dorset county show in september?

Dunkield Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I heard that because some venues aren't up to it, the CLA will only use 5 venues in future, so if they rotate them it will be back in 5 or 6 years. went up with 2oo quid and somehow all i bought was 2 opinal knives (no.8 and a slinky loking elite thing), a sharpener and a buffalo burger! At CLA prices, if would have had a cup of tea as well you would come back with nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiiish1987 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I know. the contract catoring was awfull! £5 for a pork roll! with a choice of that or £3 for my burger i choose the buffalo burger! One thing that made me laugh was that as i was leaving i saw a duck fluying over the trees towards the clayline !!! i wonder who got him?
