The Arms & Militaria Gun show was held over the weekend of 21/22 Feb.
I have visited the show in previous years, but this was my first time at helping to 'man' the stand.
It certainly was an interesting, yet very worthwhile experience.
As you can well expect, there was a great selection of firearms and paraphernalia available for people to look at and purchase at the show, and it sure was difficult to keep my credit card in my wallet as there were a few toys that sparked my interest. But needless to say I did !
The show gave the public (as well as fellow shooters) the opportunity to come & have a chat with us, find out what we do, the firearms we use, etc etc.
We had the full range of people from those who had been in the military, belonged to other clubs, current shooters, as well as those who were interested in finding out about how to get into the sport, come and spend some time talking to us.
I only worked the first day (which appeared to be the busier of the 2), but I feel that the show was a great success for the PPC as there are (hopefully) now some more people with an interest in the sport of pistol shooting.
The club is holding an open day on the weekend of 28Feb, so it will be interesting to see how many visitors will take up the offer to come along and see us in action, and have a plink at a couple of targets.
I'm actually looking forward to the show next year as the hamster is already running up some ideas about what we can do differently to generate a bit more interest in the sport :)
Cheers
Reuben (PPC President)
