We prefer to experience life at first paw rather than through selfies. In any case, photography is forbidden within the show.

Ah, now we understands, you wants to cull cows. Or Buffalumps.



We went back there again today, purely for research purposes you understand. It was noticeable that a lot of the stands had plenty of empty spaces denoting a brisk trade and lots of stock sold. We were amused to see quite a few old ladies stocking up on ammo and new guns, generally small revolvers and pistols such as .380 Sig Sauers. Sig seem to be pushing, if that is the correct word, tiny, brightly coloured .380 pistols to the womenfolk. Many were buying two or three, and purse holsters to keep them in. (A nice new line for you there Saddler: space for a few notes, a pawful of coins, a bus pass and a tiny gun.)

One thing we tried to buy, assuming there would be lots available, was a pawful of breech flags. The concept seemed somewaht alien to most dealers. You want to show your gun is unloaded? WHY ?
