Thread: Sika show 2022

When my sons and I arrived at 12.30 it was so packed it was hard to get through the crowds, but when we left around 3 it was much more empty. I'll remember that for future. I went with every intention of walking out the door with a new thermal, but here I am back home without one. Good to meet a couple of forum members here, and probably walked passed a large number without knowing it. 4 hour drive for us each way so the trip was far longer than the time spent there. If I hadn't been specifically looking for something it might have been disappointing, but for me it was worth while.

yup was there round the same time but then im one of those "blend in" kinda guys thats always there but never seen ......if you look up average bloke in the dictionary there would be a pic of me (but you wouldnt notice me)....... i went expecting everything to be out of my budget so wasnt too disappointed replaced some hunting gear that i been wearing for 10 years plus (i like to get my moneys worth) with some ridgeline stuff and bought a salami .....got some free dog food and entered as many comps as i could . future son in law had a chat to the arms officers re delays in licence application ....
my phones fully charged for later today when i start fielding calls about all the gear i have won.......

oh and i noticed some of the rifles (eg mauser seemed to been inflated so the could be discounted to the show price (standard retail) had a look at the new CZ not impressed with the safety ( push button on the tang that works on the trigger)

Actually I did see a distinguished looking bloke who looked like he should be a NZHS forum member, must have been you. G'day in retrospect @scotty!

ha the closest word to distinguished to describe me is more likely indistinct............
oddly enough i was wearing a t shirt that had the caption "bigfoot saw me.....but no-one believes him"
