Had A Cracking Day At The Show

[pianoman 3,587]

What a great read and it's great to see what a cracking good day out you all had.

 

Jimmy, I wish you had gone up to the Air Arms Rep and gave her a proper critical comment or two about the Pro Sport not being available to us left handed shooters. I would have done, suit on or not and told her a dozen reasons why this really is, a disgraceful waste of a healthy market that demands it. But I'll save my rant for my own thread on the subject of Left Hand Pro Sports....

 

The main thing is good lads meeting together and enjoying the day among all the kit and kaboodle on offer. It was interesting to note the comment made about the obvious class differnces between air gunners and shotgun shooters. Of course you can spend thousands on a bespoke side-by-side 12-bore, tens of thousands for guns from Purdy and Holland & Holland. (Those are works of engraved art and the highest gunsmithing and stocking craftsmanship money can buy mind!)

 

But, a fine quality air rifle is no cheap-as-chips option either. But really, class and wealth are not mutually exclusive..

 

I'm definitely up for visiting next year's show if you all fancy a meet up there again ?!

 

 

Might take my Pro Sport and shove it under their noses!

Well I am up for Doncaster show get together and this time, I think I might take the shotgun for a clay shooting session so David if you want to have a go with my DT10, that might be your chance mate.

 

I very nearly went back to the show yesterday to shoot the clay competition but other things got in the way

No need to send that baby thro the post mate, I have every intention of coming up, in about 4 weeks if that's ok

This would be brilliant. Doncaster's not far from me here. Jimmy, you and Ethan could stay with us and we'll make a good time of it with Phil if he can make it to the show. And it's the back of the airshow season so, I might actually have a bit of spending cash too. Maybe even find a 2nd hand Pro Sport in good nick for my Beech stock.

 

Or a nice shiny new one in .177....

[David.evans 5,323]
