Target Shooting Show - November - CANCELLED

#1 Post by Pippin89 »

Unfortunately it seems this show has been cancelled. I have heard it is because there are not enough exibitors but I don't know if that is accurate yet. A very big disappointment and a worrying sign...

According to the website, it is still on and there is a long list of exhibitors ... but then who knows?

The easiest way to find out is to just ask the organisers:
Email: info@targetshootingshow.co.uk

That's certainly the best way to find out for sure, in my opinion.

Just had the following reply to my query:

"Many thanks for your email.

Sadly the show has been postponed to 2023 due to the situation in the UK re supply shortages and the UKs financial situation re inflation and interest rates.

We are over 1/3rd down on exhibitors as they simply can't afford to commit when they have very little stock to sell.

I understand their situation so had to sadly make a tough decision.

Back hopefully in 2023 !!

Kind regards,

Mike

from a small dealers point of view all the big shows are far too expensive and full of non shooting related stuff .
Sad that we rely so heavilly on non uk sourced products

That’s annoying, I was looking forward to playing with some pump action and box fed 12 bores prior to buying as I will have my section 1 by then.
