Myself and four mates drove from Lismore to Tamworth this weekend to attend the hunting and shooting expo down there. It had been brilliant the year before but this year the number of exhibitors was way down, like about half of what was there last year. However we managed to have a chat with Shooters and Fishers member Rob Borsak, and the ladies at the Firearms registry desk were great. There were a couple of custom gun makers there as well so I could drool on the fine walnut and blued metal. But basically it was mostly blokes advertising guided hunts. We were all prepared to spend a day there, but we'd finished in an hour and a half, so we cancelled the extra night at the motel and headed back home.
I have no idea why the number of exhibitors was so low, but I can't see me going to another one.
