BRNDL Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 I was going to go Sunday but as said before its full of ******, saw lots of theft last time I went so I'm not bothering.. I will be so disappointed if it turns out to be anything like what you have described above. And with nearly £40.00 to enter with my wife it is also a costly affair.

deputy dog Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Looks like its going to be a wet Game fair this year lads, especially Sunday as the forecast says gale force winds and heavy rain all day. So it defo looks like a wet weather gear day with a good pair of boots to go with it. Hope to see/ meet a few Sunday even if we do get half drowned in the process of walking about.

Dougy Posted September 14, 2013 Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 Managed to get hold of some 53grn vmax so stocked up to max on those and sorted out 3lb of Varget, so a good day. Got a free tenterfield fox call too,,, and managed to get a noise out of it. Probably looked a bit weird driving home with this thing in my mouth and rosy cheeks. Some strange looking sights there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webber Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 I went to the Midland today with Jason and young Tom. We had considered giving it a miss due to the weather forecast, but decided to go come what may. It was a return visit for me following a break of some 10 years or so. The first thing that I noticed was that access had been improved with zero disruption. The last time that I went I got in for free as I'd won two tickets in a Sporting Gun competition, the admission charge then was £10, today it was £19. I had a very interesting chat with John Batley on the GTA stand and David BASC on the BASC stand, whilst there I bumped into Caeser off PW. Had a quick chat with Paul Hart, and a few members of the syndicate. Made contact with a number of possible new suppliers for the shop and website. Whilst gun makers row seemed bigger than I remember, sadly a number of significant players were abcent, such as GMK and Browning to name just two. I wasn't over impressed with Gamekeepers row either, but overall, despite a little rain to round the day off we enjoyed our day and will return next year. I'm now seriously considering a stand for the Bernardelli guns, but the price of a stand will have to be right! webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 It wasn't me. I was surprised I could get any at all let alone 300. I ordered some Varget off another stand after quite some time groveling :-) but it will hopefully be worth it. I just couldn't get the same result with 140. I suppose more time I could have but I only had 15 53grn left at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caeser Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Had a great day. Weather was ok. Just got back to the car before heavens opened up. I was generally impressed with it overall and I will go again. Good to see webber again, I've not seen him for a few years. My misses cost a fortune. That wasn't in the original plan. It was me that was supposed to be spending all the money. LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy dog Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Got to the venue at half 9 and noticed from the off the strong police/security presence that was there ( which was a good thing ) and it seemed to keep the ****** away from nicking all the time. Only heard a few off a couple of minor stalls saying they had stuff whipped off them. Didn't bump into any other pigeon watch members all day which would have been nice to do so. Picked up some Norma 75 grain V max for my .243 and and some whinnies for my rim fire. Left buying a lab of carts till last minute and glad I did as they were heavy to carry the half mile ack to the bus along with every thing else like the crow decoys I bought. Spent around £200 in the event but I got everything I wanted now. Weather held off till about half 4 and then it hammered down and we had a bit of a soaking walking back to the bus. All in all a nice enjoyable day out in good company. Hope to go agin next year now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
channa Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Can't say i was overly impressed with the place this year but i did manage to get Harkila jacket and pants a waistcoat. Got a few other little bits and bats too. In all the weather held off most of the day and had a very interesting chat with Mike at the Brock Norris stand. Rain hit at around 4.00pm so decided to leave it there and make the 100 mile trip back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own fault i had a blond moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossEM Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Been going to the Midland for the last 20 years, but this one wasn't great. As someone above said, a lot of major players were missing. CLA next year then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggiegun Good on you for getting some. If brock and bs were the only one's to stock them I would rather change cal. Lol. I just need a little Varget now ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
