Thread: Sika Show

Ban everything, some one might make us look bad

Most there are Fit and Proper citizens, able to own firearms, but not have a beer FFS. Did they still have the window of opportunity to purchase a firearm and go up stairs to an AO to confirm and register it?

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

@phillipo your da man, I’ll have a beer with you next year, even if I have to bring my own

I am, but I don’t care, that’s the worse of it .

to put alcohol and firearms "in publics perception" into perspective....I was fish n game ranger for a while ,have shot ducks every opeing weekend except for when Cinders put us in home D since I started 30 years ago...Ive NEVER seen anyone pissed while out duckshooting..not once.. yip I have seen lads standing around utes with a box in evening being dickheads.... but never while actively shooting birds
now if you ask members of public about duckshooting a great majority of them will suggest people get pissed...because of a few historic events..the way things got done back when Adam was still wearing levis and chasing cows around....
the media LOVE to poke shit in direction of any shooting sports,it sells papers is the old school term for it,dirty laundry is another.

I heard $3.5K for 3 x 4, exactly how accurate that is I don't know, but he would have paid the invoice so should know

So the likes of stoney creek might be paying 30thou for there stand?

I’ve never been to a show where we covered our costs, fly the flag and promote the business. Worse was a stand at the field days the company spent over $500k and sold,at little margin, over the 4 days $45k then didn’t win best stand. Owner was pissed, never been back, but shit it was a great few nights at the house he rented across the road.

Anyone know what the winning sika head scored?

You can get a tiny bit of difference between measures of tricky heads but not 12” , somebody has made a boo boo

It's supposed to be a fair comp not fair if they can make mistakes another fallow was 266 official but marked as 259 at sika show. same happened to me last year I took a 255ds deer in come out of there with a score of 243 so I wouldn't enter another 1
