Tedly47 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Anyone visit the northern shooting show today..... long way for me but I was pleasantly surprised.... and I got some bargains... Good day all round... PS, some of the guns were way overpriced... w&s .410 in poor condition for £99 when browning123 has a better than new one for sale for £120.......

WinchesterDave Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Yep I went with my parents. Good day out, good sporting set up good weather 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pheasant Feeder Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 Yep went today, great chance to see plenty of kit, the Zeiss stand had deer targets set up at varying ranges to look at through their scopes and binoculars. This was a marketing master stroke compared to the competition, (so much so a mate is thinking of upgrading to a Zeiss scope). Bumped into a few friends, spent a bit of money, traders willing to do a deal. This is how shows should be, if it stays like this then its a winner. Its in the diary for next year.

Les*1066 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 I picked up a nice CZ453 Premium and a few more bits and pieces. Overall I was very impressed, and I'm sure it can only get better. Roll on next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
browning123 Posted May 7, 2016 Report Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) Great show, I bought a few items at a good price, no queuing and easy parking. We arrived at 8am and left at 1.30pm - a five hour around trip for us. Edited May 8, 2016 by browning123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry136 Posted May 8, 2016 Report Share Posted May 8, 2016 I wanted to go today, but due to the Leeds half marathon taking place, Theres no chance! My street has become a car park. Where's the sportsmanship in that. Moral of the story- Leeds City Council and all runners are a bunch of selfish *****! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel100 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I was there on both days and very pleasantly surprised by the 'feel' of the show - really buzzing. Hope that the organisers can justify doing it next year, too. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
