Yorkshire Shooting Show
- Thread starter GMan14
- Start date
We’ll be there en masse, despite the travelling costs, hoping for the best and that it’s picked up from last year as we all left disappointed.
We collectively agreed it’s important to support these events and that we’d give it one more go.
I think the most purchased items last year were pies!

Did anyone manage to receive any feedback from South Yorkshire Police on grants & renewals? CheersJust got back.
I have to say, the consensus opinion of our group was positive.
It definitely was an improvement on last year, true there was room for more exhibitors, but from an overall point of view it was a thumbs up from us

It had most things there if you wanted to buy something, took about a couple of hours to walk round.
I only went for some gloves but there wasn't any.
Wasn't that busy really.
Nice selection of clothing though, seemed keenly priced.
Wasn't sure I was in the right place but then saw a caravan dweller and his three sons climb the fence without paying so was reassured I'd found it, funny 20 plate Transit but can't afford the entrance fee.
If anything there wasn't enough stands selling enough of the same things to really be competitive with each other.
Didn't see South Yorkshire Police, could of missed them.
Would only go again if was at a loose end like today, wouldn't plan it unless it got bigger.
Think the historical stands that don't sell anything need to move with the times if they want to engage with people, especially children.
You could have a working King Tiger Tank on your stand but sat down looking miserable, dressed scruffy with a beer belly isn't an approachable look, It's not gonna make people give you donations no matter what it's for.
Ammo was for sale, just saw 308 PPU non toxic for £48 for twenty rounds, I'm paying less for 308 RWS EVO GREEN, but think I'm getting a deal so it is what it is.
So in summary, nothing special, massive room for improvement, felt a bit like a church coffee morning not a County Shooting Show.

There was somebody with a fish tank with no fish in it, so somebody was measuring can't say if it was BASC or not.

We quite enjoyed it, as others have said room for more stand's and couldn't agree more about the reenactment guy's not a very friendly looking bunch! Overall it was ok, was a bit shocked at S+B 6.5 creed copper @£206/100, I'm sure the last one's I bought were £28/20! Good job I still shoot lead,
