Shooting Show

[NitroJoe]

I can't imagine they'll have enough time to make any changes for tomorrow sadly. I'll hope for the best but assume I won't get the chance to buy all of the things on my shopping list - I don't like queuing at the best of times! sign01

Certainly not going to waste my time next year, what a shambles,will try the gamefair later in The year as not made it in 5 Years as 2 i was going to have been cancelled.

I didn't see the separate craft fair this year that was at Newark.

Bike racing fans will find it depressingly familiar. Its like trying to get in and out of donington. I did 79 miles in the same time it took to do the last three. Most of what i saw was not really bargainous, actual hardwear prices were well up there, best spot of the day was leather cartridge bags for £25. It was ok for a look but how anybody did and business there i will never know.

It had something in common with Glastonbury and other music festivals, mega queues for the car parks, seas of mud and stewards who had not been organised properly. Although, to be fair, the organisation at Glastonbury is now exemplary.

I think I'll just stick to looking at old gear at the Bisley shows!

Seems like not going was a good decision.

It is a real shame because a properly run shooting show is a joy to be a part of.

Having done USA once and Nuremburg four times, I recommend both, although I found Nuremburg more to my liking.

Buying, selling etc. are against the rules at these 'proper' shows. Although you can of course place orders, taking away is frowned upon.

I hope this show was worth it for the exhibitors as it seems not to be for the majority.
