Hopefully it doesn’t go the same way as the game fairs all clothing stands and cider sellers.
A very enjoyable show though.
Stalking Show Whistle stop tour
- Thread starter MidlandsPaperPuncher
- Start date
A very enjoyable show though.
I took lots of cash because I recalled the Wi-Fi issues the sellers had last year. (I don't think the GAIM virtual shooting gallery worked at all this year, even though they tested it on Friday).
Most sellers I visited I was able to pay by card; Unfortunately.
I took the cash to a fair at the NEC today and some b****rd relieved me of it by cutting through the cargo pocket on my Fjalls!
To top the day off the DPF warning light came on in the truck on the way home. Shame to spoil what was a great weekend. It was another great show

An incredibly sad but pertinent reminder of what walks amongst us. I've no desire to give the perpetrator further satisfaction in what he pulled off here, but you have to question what set of circumstances have led to anyone being given of the mindset and confidence to put off such a theft.I took lots of cash because I recalled the Wi-Fi issues the sellers had last year.

Perhaps though I've simply led a far more sheltered life than hitherto I'd imagined.

Never heard some much negativity!
Foxy the organiser is so passionate about stalking and stalkers he will do everything to put things right but like anything some is out of one’s control on the day .
No one in recent years has bought so many like minded individuals together sure it makes a few quid but he and deanne are truely committed to our sport they live the life we do when not organising the show !
Someone will always moan
I took plenty of cash didn’t get any N 160 I left it too late in the day ……. My bloody fault
Has to go through Stafford on way back …..police’s fault traffic accident? Should have had a pee before I left defo my fault
GREAT SHOW AS USUAL im sure those who don’t go next year
Will be easily replaced by those getting into stalking .

Best show of them all IMHO…but, the WiFi issue is a deal breaker for retailers and traders - I recall same issues last couple of years, impossible to work with if you are trying to move fast impulse buys in a crowd of buyers.
Agree, mine wasn't a moan about the crowds - simply not my thing - but obviously a success as far as footfall is concerned.Never heard some much negativity!

I volunteered a couple of hours each day on the BDS stand, and also got pressganged into being part of a Q&A session on setting up a small venison retailing business (again, both days), so actually saw very little of the event, but the atmosphere was good and everyone seemed happy, so I reckon it was a success.

I agree got a Sika sack from Phil Ogden at a great price, his Wi-Fi worked too.
I thought the show was much bigger this year. Last year I didn’t buy VIP parking but still got parked on the main site. This year had to park over the road in the field about 12 rows back. It’s becoming an enormous show now from when it first started. Really good again with lots of really relevant content.

Stick with 'em bud, you won't look back... and it will save me getting seasick when I watch Bernard's videos on YouTube
£14 quid for a burger at the show, crazy
I took lots of cash and as always plac inside jacket in zipped pocket. I exoect it's a professional thief dream show as patrons all engrossed in the show and it was jammed packed on Saturday mid morning.
I too had to park in the field across the road must have been 20 rows from the front.

Not much, it's difficult to do something I'm finding. Don't have the issue with tripod.

lots here could apply that
the girl in the pic looked bored as lol
i thought with the rabbit.."eff me smelly you are ****ing around,you could have head shot that" Then I saw that you redeemed yourself with a fine shot....applause.
the dirty scummy **** has done that before,probably well versed in people patting their wad to know which pocket it was in
I imagine some sort of overseas travelling type.

You definitely need to have a slight hold on the forend. A mate of mine had the very same issue until I figured out what was going on, and we corrected at the range over the weekend there.
I don't get the same is issue using my blazer sticks as they have a tight V with rubber that seems to hold the rifle better, but I did have issues when using the straight bar type like the Bushwear type sticks, but realised that I was getting too much flip due to the front end not being supported as such.
