watchman 256 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 so did anyone go to this today,was it any good Quote Link to post Share on other sites
inan 841 Posted March 26, 2011 Report Share Posted March 26, 2011 so did anyone go to this today,was it any good I went,had a look around, [you can cover it in an hour and a half]. A mate was running the lurcher show , good bloke ,so it was nice to have a craic with him. I don't think it is worth £10 entry fee TBH, but it's near me,and under cover ,so if it rains no problem . It needs more demos,imo too many stalls just selling coats etc, more relevant hunting orientated stalls , would be an improvement. Not many dvds/ books for sale this year.Mostly clothes, food. I wanted a double edged ,fixed blade knife ,for " emergencies", which was the primary reason for going , nothing available. Bought a couple of collars for the lurchers £5 each, pretty good value, they are on the furthest stall on the right hand side. Worth a look if you are free, and not coming too far, but £10 is a bit steep imo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sibaldib 6 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I went for the first time in about four years. A couple of mates of mine know Charles Jardine, so we watched his fly fishing demos. There were the usual tat stands, but amongst them were a couple of gems. There was a wildfowling stand, where the guy was selling the U Caller with speaker and two cards for £49. Unsuprisingly he was selling loads. He also gave me lots of advice on the best way to use them. Annoyingly I had just bought one earlier in the week off Ebay. Had a long chat with the guy on the BASC stand about his rifles - very serious kit and he was a genuinely good bloke. Also had to try the cider of course, whilst having a short break! I bought a Harris bipod copy (which appeared to be very good quality)for a show price of £50. made by the these people: http://www.snipersystems.co.uk/ Would have liked more time to look at the terriers and some of the other demos, but was due to go shooting in the late afternoon. Not a bad show, but I'll probably wait a couple more years before going back. Cheers Sib Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cupid Stunt 18 Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I didn't think it was too bad, a few interesting stalls but like Inan said it could of done with more demo's. The equine side of things i thought very weak but the food stalls were pretty good A nasty accident in the lurcher racing on Sunday when one ran full pelt into the line judge.

They eventually managed to get him in the back of a 4x4 & the last i heard he was refusing to go to hospital because he lived in Nottingham & didn't want to be stuck down this way. It didn't do the little lurcher too good either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
