steve_b_wales Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Last chance for anyone who wants to add their name to our mini bus trip to the show. If I can't get anymore names, it won't be worth booking the bus, and I will revert to going up in my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Steve as per normal everyone will want a seat the day before. Aye, you're right there mate. If I don't get any more names within the next fortnight, I'm not going to bother. Why I do it in the first place, I don't know. I was let down last year, and missed the show because of that. I won't miss it this year though, even if I have to walk there! Will be there on Sunday ! I'm going on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Well, after trying hard to get enough names to fill the minibus, I failed. Only had 7 including me. Like trying to flog a dead horse. I was going to take my vehicle instead with 3-4 passengers, but have now decided to go to Sharm El Sheikh for a week and will be away when the show is on.

Dan. Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Are things actually that "much cheaper" like the video puts across? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Are things actually that "much cheaper" like the video puts across? Egypt - Yes, Shooting Show - No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwizard Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Are things actually that "much cheaper" like the video puts across? last time I was there prices were more in the show than on the web if you did a search , the main hall where most of the guns and gear were was packed and heated but the other end had fire exits open all time and temporary blowers in there , it was nearly as cold as it was outside in feb 2013 . Saying that there were a few bargains and the Clay & Game stand was very helpful as were Deben .

Cavey Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Well i went to the show today, was very quiet first thing, got there pre doors open, got busier around 11. We were done and away by 1pm Have been for the last few years since and including Newark days. Lots less stands lots of high end shotgun and rifle stuff but a lot less exhibitors than previous years. gamekeeping dept was very quiet with very few stallls and hardly any of what we needed and wanted. Would be ok if you were an airsoft enthusiast as half of hall 4/5 was filled with their kit. Several night vision stands if you are in the market, but sportsman gun etc and several others not there, ladds, york and cheshire gunroom was it really unless you had a lot of dosh for an old english make. Was in the market for new shootting jacket and trousers, came home without, Even the food stands were not busy and there was a lot of empty spaces in the car park when we left. Chris tthe cornish pigeon man was very funny with his demo, and there were a couple of pigeon stands aa decoys etc. Will save my dosh in 2016 and buy online or at my local shops instead. Good luck and enjoy if you are going, i wished i hadnt bothered would have been better spending the day shooting pigeons on the field out the back. Top tip if you go in the back gate, less queue (down the side of the airfield) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
