Hi guys
well the shooting show was alright
walked straight in with my online tickets .Thank god as the queue was really longheaded in to the show and almost immediately saw a great big screen for shotgun simulation shooting so checked that out for five Min's .then realised the guy was still setting it up so had a wonder round
the amount of shotguns and air rifles was like being in a candy shop ..but as a friend said "you could hold and feel them if you were willing to wait for a while" as the place was rammed and every one was wanting a touch of the gun candy,so went over to were i saw the air gunner magazine logo and saw Sir Terry and Matt the eds of airgun world and air gunner was going to askfor a picky but was distracted when i realised the shooting range behind me so watched it for awhile then turned back and terry was gone
there were loads of guns and cammo gear to mooch over if you were there to buy with price tagsa little higher than expected ..for instance i saw a pair of gamekeepers trousers for £209 in some weird dotted shades of green ..lots of people were getting out there cars with empty rifle slips looking to bag a bargain rifle and to me it looked like many did ...went for a plink on the range
£2 per person ... my eldest lad shot the new Brocock Contour witch was a great little gun ...that reminded me of the ultra in that it was about the same size and the pellet probe worked in much the same way...a very nice gun and accurate as he only missed one Target ...i tried out the HW100 to not great effect as i missed a couple more than my boy did..nothing to do with the gun might i add..a super rifle thou did feel a tiny bit heavier than the 410...great side loading action and worked a treat.my youngest boy used the Brocock AimX pistol with a modified grip that made it a thumb hole stock..and he also did great as well knocking a few targets...
there was a shooting dog display witch was cool then i was pointed in the direction of the Bison and venison Burger stall ...to witch i had Bison with Stilton and my other half had the venison but only managed half the burger to my delight .so had some of that too
this ruddy thing nearly knocked me of my feet as i saw it out the corner of my eye at a distance of three inches while talking on my mobile lol lol
overhaul it was good to be there ..and seeing as it was the first one there is room for improvement

Great post Mike and it looked like you had a great day. As you have pointed out it was the first and hopefully not the last. Some good photos too showing the range. Thanks for sharing mate.
Richard.
