CZ Varminter Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Just somewhere for us to discuss how we feel it's growing or not? Bargains to be had, Recommended Stands to visit? New equipment etc. Looking forward to going on Sunday. CZV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCetrizine Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I've just arrived in Coventry after working down south this week. I'm itching to get through the door in the morning. I'm not sure what my first stop will be but I guarantee my second will be a cash machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wsm Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 No queues first thing and plenty of room around the stalls to walk around.Most traders I spoke to saying it was a good having a steady flow of people without being manic Bargains You should know by now that by the time you factor in the fuel,food and ticket prices you don't get many bargains at these shows and I can't see this show would be any different to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCetrizine Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Oh, I forgot to pimp my club. Stop by the North Cotes Butts stand in Hall 3 for a coffee and a chat with a great bunch of boys and girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike357 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Photos I've seen today show the place to be very quiet. Friday is perhaps the day to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapper811 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 The show was good. No mad rush and not over crowded. Someone in the know told me the car parks were at capacity at lunchtime ! As mentioned above call by the north cotes butts stand for a free coffee and chat to Martin and the crowd. Way better than £2 for crap coffee outside. Also seeing as the accuracy international stand is roughly 10m away I am sure most of you will be calling by the area ! S &B stand was nice to see for the first time at the show The riflecraft stand with all the new vortex line up was very good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuggy Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Had a great day - spoke to a few people on here. Had a good chat and a toffee from Mike Norris. Also had a good natter with Colin (One Less Charlie); his moderators really are impeccably built. Also Mark Bradley talked me through his AR15s - very nicely put together rifles. Trouble is - I now have a long expensive list of things that I want! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 We went on Friday got there 06:50 parked up in for breakfast then in to the halls at 08:00 small queues for both (to be expected). New leather shot gun slip and cartridge bag for my wife from Ogdens first class service as was PROTSC light weight large & small range bag set. Red Kettle clothing will be ordering, BH Targets & Onelesscharlie always nice to chat to and good tips thanks . GMK staff to busy talking to each other to talk to me about a new shot gun (not a team chat either) but on the other stands we visited staff attentive, helpful etc all the things you'd want. Swaro stand very helpful looking at changing to Z6i 2.5x15 56 question to be posted in riflescopes on that later then to third eye tactical very helpful discussing the mounting options for the Z6i. I could ramble on but for us a marked improvement on last year for the facility and to the exhibitors we visited there were many more (with the one exception) the usual first class service.

MrCetrizine Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Well that was amazing. I got there about 8:30 and by 10 am it was packed. I bought a metric f%@#tonne of Bergers, primers, Eley Tenex and assorted things plus joined the NRA. If you go tomorrow be careful of the AIs, I think I got drool on them. If only my variation had been done in time I'd be holding a shiny new AR in 300 BLK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
