Your not using the firearms like at a range where I would suggest not drinking until after the range is closed but I really can't see anything wrong with having a beer or two catching up with mates at an event like this .

I agree with you Phil. But unfortunately there’s often some people who take things too far as Blip mentioned. All it would take is for the attending Police to lock someone up and it make the media and then we all look bad.

It’s a PC world alright, seem to be a few on here getting sucked into it too

The wife and I went.
A lot of police but then the PM turned up.
I had already spoken to one of the cops and he said we will be gone by midday not sure if that happened.
I didn't buy anything, wife bought some cushion covers enjoyed her day out.
Spoke to jet boil guys and figured out why my lid wasn't fitting properly ,operator error.
Wanted to have a fondle of a couple of binos that I am considering as a retirement present to myself in the next while.
River to Ranges had the Swaro I was interested in, the Nikon stand didn't have the HGs so didn't get to do a rough compare.
Will wander down to Hastings and have a better look some time.
Had a yarn with a few vendors.
But it is not a bad day out, and without getting too political ACT and the Nats were there so my take is they consider our community important.
Wife loves it so it is a good chance to have a good look at some stuff.

I don’t know about this year, I didn’t attend, but last years show was, to my mind, controlled by the police. Compared to Taupo, it had changed dramatically, it’s amazing how Tarrant changed our world

You're just grumpy because you can't just hop over from Kinloch.
And if you went to Hamilton and bought a couple of beers it would have cost you more than you would have spent on diesel (when you consider how much those pansey beers you drink cost in a bar).

That’s bloody good to hear

Blahahahahahahaha wholy fuk has this thread made me laugh, I was planning on heading up to the show but unfortunaly work got in the way.

So seems like the show set up was far better than last year, these things take time to sort at new venues & glad to hear that all those poxy roof tents n stuff have been booted outside & people had a good time ( be nice if some photos were posted up ) but I gutted as by the sounds of it I missed out on a great old school piss up !!!

So I would love to know what the "story" is with this apparently appalling situation that occurred at the show , were there companies - vendors selling alcohol in sealed bottles or was there an actual open bar where such things as beer, wine or a whisky could be purchased & consumed while in the building ?

Oh GOD, won't someone please think of the Children



WTF is wrong with you cunts that are so offended by the sale of alcoholic beverages at the hunting n shooting show, it's not illegal, companies like Ruahine Ports have been a great supporter of the show for years & I hope there was an open bar there, nothing like catching up with someone you having seen for months, putting ya feet up, taking a break & having a cold one while chewing the fat.


Reminds me of the story a fulla posted on here a few months back, where he slipped down a bank, nearly ripped his leg off & spent the night on the hill, lucky to be found n pulled out the next day, you know what I remember from that story, he said that him & his mate had had a beer with lunch when they landed while coming up with a hunting plan & there was a small group of true fuk wits that jumped all over the poor prick, basically saying that it was him having a stubbie that caused the whole situation, like karma jumped up & got him.




I might look into have a bar at the next show, be great, jelly wrestling, Tequila shoots & wheelbarrows for true hardcore punters to be pushed around the show in hahahaha

I dont think anyones offended by drinking. I think its more about it will only take one fukwit to get hammered and carry on like an idiot and bye bye show. Much like at our range we dont have a bar running for good reason, even if your not shooting no drinking. If your that desperate for a drink theres plenty of bars in hamilton. Last year when we went we bumped into some people we hadnt seen for ages and we had a catch up didnt bother us that there was no alcahol...the media would be more than happy to portray us as crazy drunk firearms owners given the chance..

Exactly.
And if people are so hell bent on catching up over a drink, what's wrong with a coffee.

I probably wouldn’t have had a beer, but who the Wally that decides? I’m sure to Good George would have turned up and run a great beer tent as per the Field days?

Oh shit, I won’t go there after last years coffee and pie

Have a beer in the car park with your mates....

This woke world we now live in seems to be rubbing off on a few.

I probably wouldn’t have a beer there but it would be nice to have the choice.
We need less control in our lives not more!

Im sure a lot of you are responsable as far as drinking goes. The private functions that you guys organize sound like great fun. Unfortunatley as usual its the idiots we have to cater for when anyone is allowed entry. I cant actually think of any other gun show where they have a bar. We will have to give this show another try as it sounds like we just got a dud show last year.
