steve_b_wales Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 (edited) Is anyone going to the above this February? I am debating on going there, but I'll be on my own in my car. There would be room for 3 other's living in the Mid Glamorgan (CF39) area, all I ask is to share the fuel costs, which won't be a lot. Obviously, we don't all live in the same area, but I'm sure I/We could arrange something. I plan to go on the Saturday (Feb 24th) Edited January 18 by steve_b_wales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougy Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 I'll be there Sat with a couple of odd balls, no doubt it will be full of the usual YouTube celebs doing their reviews on all the stands. Steve if you do go will you be wearing full Camo ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genghis Posted February 24 Report Share Posted February 24 I went yesterday. I thought the Friday would been the slowest day but it was rammed. I enjoyed the day and had a good few conversations. I’ll be going again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet11-87 Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 (edited) i went on the sunday with a few pals. was a day out but the event itself was meh. its really not as big as the videos and the advertising says it is. about half of it is only loosely related to shooting like magic boot polishing, knife sharpening, whittling and carving or charcuterie. whats left is the major brands that arnt actually selling just letting you have a look with your hands. could of probably fit the whole thing int a decent sized sports hall and then maybe the price for stands wouldnt make it a loss for businesses actually selling shooting gear. wonder how many people put their name down for an african safari or a top of the range landrover defender this weekend. still, its a shooting related day away with the lads. so it was still a good day.

brett1985 Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 I was there with Premier Guns, as usual... busiest year we've had since I started working the show in 2017. Roughly 150 guns sold over 3 days. Saturday was absolutely rammed. yes, there was a handful of stalls that weren't particularly shooting related (knife sharpening, boot cleaning, fold out stools etc) but I actually thought it was far more shooting focused than some previous years. if next year is similar, I'll be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right with the non shooting stands, the shoe shine stand is always there and at the game fair, alot of people buy and use it for them to always come back I guess.. Knife sharpening is always good for the stalkers, fold out stools for people sat in hides maybe?? Just trying to make it shooting related 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed the day and had a good few conversations. I’ll be going again next year. Just to add to this. A lot of stands had QR codes that you could scan to enter various competitions. I made a point of scanning every one that I passed. It paid off because I ended up winning an EBA XV2-RS air rifle worth £500. I don't shoot air rifles at all so it was immediately sold, but it was a nice surprise still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
