Hi All,
So after a 05:30 set off we arrived at the show and after walking through a maze of stalls we found the AirGun/Airsoft part of the event, It was virtually empty as the event had just opened but i thought this would be the best time to check out the stalls and assess where bargains were to be found. Bargins ? there was the following stalls "Daves customs", the grange, sierra alpha supplies, hellfire, templar, just cause stirling airsoft and gunfire. Gunfire a great online shop but sadly they had the small stall of the whole event (although they did give my son 2no patches for free) this was disappointing none of the stalls mentioned had any real bargins just trying to sell at shop prices, even the other patches my son brought where at full price. Ihad expected more BB's and fund parts rather than every stall showing off guns at £200 upwards.
The +Side of the event was Stirling Airsoft for flying the flag to try and introduce Airsoft to the masses, with a free all gear supplied 20min (2x 10min scenario's ). If this is to be the future for Airsoft then the suppliers better get behind and turn up to make it an Airsoft event worth going to and also for the Airsofters to turn up and make the event. This could arranged by Forums to get members to meet up" just like the Mall meet".
In all the event was ok but the exhibitors must make it worth the trip and get behind the show, as mentioned if Gunfire think that the smallest stall is ok then the show will disappear as there where no real bargains to be had to draw the crowds. maybe if Stirling could get a bigger plot and have a proper airsoft event / tournament more would be made of the show.
