Do bears s..... Yes, but sadly further than my budget or time away from home would allow :cry: So let us know how you get on, I am fascinated especially as you are a total novice how it effects you, the enthusiasm of the shooting folk I have met here and elswhere now my interest has been sparked (set ablaze may be a fairer term) makes me regret not getting into it when I was much younger, and on the plus side I'm sure it is going to provide some much needed common ground for an activity the whole family can enjoy.

Have an interesting and enjoyable time there :)
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

:idea:
How very annoying.............
I spend a lot of time in the west midlands, and that weekend I am already completely committed.

I sold all my guns and gave up my certificates back in the 90's, but I still find myself drawn to a gun shop whenever I see one....I guess it's an interest that will never really go away.

Does anyone know if it is always held in the west midlands or does it have a different location each year?

perhaps next year

Looks interesting, just not local enough and the entry fee to the shop/show is a tad more than I would be happy to pay. :(

Would love to go but it's a bit far, a bit expensive and the wife wouldn't approve.... Would love to read up on others experiences.

A blog by a total newbie about this whole area, not just this one show, would be fascinating. I'd subscribe!
