    Just had a nip around before the huge crowds hit.
    Way more room than last time!
    Deals are average at best (although the Zeiss prices looked good)
    Forbes rifles on display at swaro stand but they look in real rough condition??
    Not bad deals on reloading stuff at Steve's whole sale
    Plenty of rattle guns to finger.

    I know it is not all about getting a good deal, but, by the time you factor in travel and entry costs, I found it a waste of time going if that was your angle.
    Yes you get to fondle stuff, but when it comes to price...not so crash hot

    Done and dusted, another good year of drunkedness, silly stories, shit loads of ribbing, lack of sleep shit loads of snoring, amazing food. Thanks to all you good buggers for a great couple of days, good to catch up with all. Look forward to next year! The show itself was good and even better in gum boots or jandels. They will learn for next year only bought ammo and smoker, went out to the NZDA range on Sat and sighted in a couple of rifles, left early as there was a crowd on the 100 metre range!

    Spent 5hours looking around the stands and talking to people.

    Didn't spend any money ....... At All....... Even got shouted the entry.

    Not that I didn't have any money, had a pocket full, just no one was able to tempt me to buy their wares.

    Either I didn't want/need it or the price point wasn't attractive enough for me to show them my money.

    Bumped into some old friends, got to talk to some new ones and generally had a good time.

    Cheers

    Another year done and dusted. Nice to finally meet Kiwigreg. I think my daughter know has an understanding of the calibre of GC's on here and of the shit we talk.There was far too much food as always and somehow I have ended up with a killer sore throat.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Yep. We toasted him at dinner last night Gibo. His presence there just a year ago wasn't forgotten.

    Yep Gibo he showed some real balls last year dragging himself around the show, on Sunday he drove back to Wairoa, I saw him off, his crap music booming in the car! I asked if he had some water with him, nope he said, so I got him a bottle and away he went. I asked text me if he had trouble and when he got home! A few hours later the text came through, " home safe mate". A few weeks later he was gone, what courage he had!!!
