That means 50% is also south

So like last year, little in the way of firearms and no ammo, pity the semis are gone, the police control last year was pathetic and there was No alcohol, OK if you a nun, I don’t think I’ll be there, unless someone can change my mind.

Yeah, until its gets back to (even) a semblance of the glory days, it doesn't spin my wheels.

Better to invite a mate around with all his guns, drag yours out, with a bottle of your best and ooohh and aaahh over each's coveted smoke and smokeless throwers

So last year was a pretty shit show? I went because Id heard its the biggest and best show in nz I was wandering around it which didn't take long at all and thought fuk me going to gun city I can see most of the stuff I want to look at and its free entry....

Yep, it’s gone woke and diesels to expensive to waste
The Taupo heydays are gone

come on @Maca49 you aren't to old to get in your best camo and gumboots I did have to laugh last year at the amount of guys dressed up head to toe

I don’t get the negativity…

I bought tickets on line and had a query about them, couldn’t find an answer on the homepage.
I left a message on the answer phone for the number advertised.
Got a call back the next day and had quite a chat to one of the organisers. Really surprised he’d actually bothered to do so.
Found a new venue, Taupo was becoming problematic.
These guys are pretty passionate about Sika, the outdoors industry etc. They’ve put it all on the line, hung in through Covid, lockdowns etc

I think it’s a measure of how much the industry values the show, that the likes of the Wapiti Foundation, Outfitters, , Conservators, niche manufacturers and suppliers travel so far just for a weekend.
It’s become a bit of Trade Show the industry so desperately needs in my view. Networking instead of continuous back stabbing.

If the naysayers reckon these guys are doing it all wrong, just call them, let them know, I’m sure they’d value your input…..

Otherwise buy a ticket, say hello to Todd McClay, Nicole McKee, and chillax.
