Stavross 13,824 Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I’ve just had an email saying that the northern shooting show has been postponed until August, it’s an expected turn of events but I had a tidy sum put aside for a bit of a splurge, if anyone has any ideas how I can save this cash until then instead of frittering it away on pointless stuff I’d be grateful for any help , I was also hoping to bump into a few off here, I might of even gone against my northern beliefs and bought them a cup of tea 2 Quote Link to post

Phil I’ve been to all 3 at Harrogate, it’s a cracking day out, fingers crossed this mess dies out by the summer and it goes ahead, I’m sure there’s loads of stuff I don’t need but once I see it there I have to have it Quote Link to post

Stavross 13,824 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 I was thinking about that today, I could have it posted to me and as I’m now a social recluse I would have plenty of time to play with it on my own 1 Quote Link to post

The other pulsars that i have looked through and used are poor when it comes to digital mag, you end up looking at Lego foxes. I don't know if the digex is the same but worth checking before being disappointed in a purchase. 1 Quote Link to post

That’s definitely something to look at, I know someone who has one on demo, I’ll have to get hold of him to see what he thinks of it’s pro’s and con’s, he’ll always tell me the truth or he won’t get to come game shooting on my shoot, he’s a good bloke to know because every time pulsar or Yukon release something new because of who his son is he gets it to play with 1 Quote Link to post
