shooting show 2022

Read the previous post Tim .I nearly fell into the same trap and made myself look a dick, like er ….
Well I must be missing something then, because as far as I can see both of the shooting rests in the photo have three legs in contact with the ground, and are therefore tripods, not quad sticks.
I guess that makes me look like a dick?
 
well £50 for fuel, £25 for ticket, and £12 parking, and £10 for a sandwich and a cuppa, then walk around looking at stuff i dont need , or want at top prices, i have everything i need to carry on shooting for a life time, i used to enjoy weston park midland game fair it was fantastic 20 years ago, then it went t*ts up, when all the pikeys turned up to do their early christmas shopping, nah you go enjoy it while you can, yes indeed it is a rich mans sport now, i feel sorry for all the young shooters just getting started bs.
Well that's 116 Euros to almost cover flying RyanJet over to Dortmund in June and get to see a proper show.
 
Pay all that money to be talked down to by failed car salesmen and women that know jack all about what they are selling 👍
And add to that, ignore you totally land look straight through you like a sheet of glass unless your dressed up in Musto Tweed wearing a Cravat.
 
Friend of mine is going to the caravan show this weekend at the nec.
Free parking...why do some events get parking free?
 
Yes i go to these shows in a pair of moleskin trousers and a cotton shirt of some description, wearing a comfortable pair of footwear. But then thats what i always wear day in day out.
What gets me at these shows is the ability of the exhibitors to judge how much you will spend depending on what you dress like, i always compare that to the short clip in "pretty woman" when she goes into the shop dressed a tad tarty.
BIG MISTAKE LOL

Well I found that from the few times I ever went into Holland and Holland that it mattered NOT what you wore. You were treated as if you were their most important customer that had been into the shop that day, that week, that month. Not fawning, no "Suits you Sir" but a genuine interest from the staff and a genuine wish to ask, to question, to help. Either to let you look and wander or to assist if you needed or asked for such. The old Churchill. Atkin, Grant and Lang shop across from St. James' Palace was the same.
