Stalking Show Whistle stop tour

MidlandsPaperPuncher · Apr 11, 2026

I was only able to spend a morning, but what a morning it was!

Some great recipe ideas, more N140 than I'd care to have in one place

, and a couple of other bits and bobs later, well worth a trip.

Great to be surrounded by like minded individuals, and to try out lots of bit of kit I've ogled online and currently can't afford.

Just gutted I had lunch waiting for me at the in-laws so I couldn't enjoy several of the meat offerings in the food court!

I went this morning and it was exactly as I expected, only chap I recognised was a local to me feller.
Lusted over a Winchester BB in 375.
Bought some quad sticks everyone says I should get and went home.
Should of gone stalking instead, in fact I have....

I am down here for two days with VSS and UKDTR
First day was fantastic met up with @angel eyes.and @WalkedUp . Also friends from Belgium and Romania
Got what I wanted a mdt field stock. I also picked up my August prize from sd off simpson brothers .
See what tomorrow brings

Just home. Absolutely heaving. Got N140 but it was all sold out by lunch time. Also got eye cup for Pulsar thermal spotter apparently new stock in country at long last. Pulsar stand uninspiring.
Looked through the new NV scopes from Pard and Nicopix. V impressed. Both priced about £700.
Primers available but eye watering expensive. CCI SRP £130 @1000..
Far too much to see you need to plan your visit to make the best of it.
We both got blood sample tested for Lymes disease and other tick borne disease.
Best take cash as once again issues with WiFi and contact less payements.

It was great to see you, my nephew is delighted by your kind offer to make him a deer silhouette to match the one you made for my boys.

I really enjoyed the show and am half tempted to go again tomorrow. I have no money and made almost no purchases, barring a bottle gin and Guinness, but it was great to see so many friends old and new. The gin didn’t survive the day.

Miserable git

It's good to meet you again.
It's no problem making one for your nephew.
It's good to see the youngsters enjoying them self's.

I went and did that thing that most folk attending never do too ….

Obviously a resounding success for the organisers but just too cramped and busy for me.

WalkedUp · Apr 12, 2026

It was very busy, the reason I didn’t take the boys:

But there were plenty of things that they would have loved to see:

The organisers need to sort the WiFi.
