biketestace Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 Been today mate,not a bad show but .......... I think the largest earners will be the food stalls !!!! Im not sure about any bargins to be had but your looking at a possible 10% discount armed with cash,which to be fair,isnt to be sniffed at... For shotguns, Premier guns and avalon guns have some cracking affordable choices,enjoy your day bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are 28g 8s and 9s What wildfowl you gonna shoot with those got the hump, took the dog to do the scurries but they were using these stupid bone shaped tennis ball material dummys.

nasher Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I got a slab of 32g #3's & 32g #4's :good: :D Fair play how early did you get there I was at the stall by 9:30 but there was no 32g ones there, I have been using the 32g 4's for the last eighteen months on the pigeons and they are spot on, went out with the 28g ones yesterday for a tester with the same result .

stokie Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 There was a large gypsy element there this year . We saw them wandering around on Sunday in droves. My mate went on Saturday and two of them out of a large group were arguing at the ticket office that they weren't going to pay full price as they were only going to the cider tent . They ripped off there shirts and started shouting at the staff . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a lot of people there yeaterday who looked like they may have inhabited something more mobile than a house and didn't really fit in.

Salopian Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 They weren't Gypsies they were Vermin, at least two shotguns stolen one rifle by slashing open Marquees on Friday night when there was NO security present. My mates daughter had her handbag strap cut off her arm whilst she slept, bag stolen, cash and mobile taken, bag and credit cards thrown away and recovered at the back of the stands. Talk to the Police. " There is nothing we can do to apprehend them. " "But we can take your SGC off you if you get lippy or violent towards them, and we'll find something wrong with your car and do you for that whilst we are on." Midland Game Fair R.i.P.
