The Great British Shooting Show 2024

This video was recorded on Friday 23rd of February 2024 at the Great British Shooting Show in hall 5 of the NEC Birmingham. I have also downloaded this in six sections, which can be found on my Facebook page. This years show was a great event. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy the show.

    Many thanks. Although I did a few interviews, I knew that a walk around would show off more of the show. Next year, I can hopefully do two or three days there for a fully comprehensive video, and more interviews.

    I went to the Air Arms Stand. There were so many people there, that I missed their new budget models from India, designed by Air Arms, and the Indian models also. The prices of the Indian models were really good at around £300. Their own designs made by India are around £500, so you can imagine the mark up, but still great value with their name on it.

    Thanks. I hope to get a thermal Arken to review in the future. I was hoping they would design one, but was surprised to see one at the show. I think they have been doing the research & development for this thermal scope for the last 2 years. I was really glad to meet the Arken team who actually work at the manufacturers in China. They were very helpfull and friendly, and spoke good English. We don't seem to do languages much in the UK, probably because the Old Empire spread English around the World as the first language. Even air line pilots use English as a first language World Wide, which is probably why we are so lazy to learn other languages over here. I'm too old now though.

    Yes they are. As well as good value, they are also very good quality. Don't take my word for it, just check out the blogs and reviews from users on their various web sites and facebook pages. They appear to be very customer focused and are not standing still with development either. Definitely one to look out for in the future i you are looking for night vision ir, or thermal scopes that record what you see through the scope.

    1.15.07 I’d rather an accuracy int in 308 lapua or a cheytac intervention where in the case you get everything exept a nagging wife saying “YOU CANT AFFORD IT” 😂😂😂😂😂.BTW FELLA I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL THATS WHY I SUBSCRIBED KEEP THE GREAT CONTENT COMING…..I wouldn’t mind you highlighting some budget and mid priced rifles and just shoot them for an hour on the range but the difference being you have a bag with numbered tiles from 1-10 that correspond with a particular pellet and what you pick you are stuck with 👍

    Yes, they did have a cheytac at the show, but I missed it. The Turkish ATA was a looker though. I did see Chris Parkin looking at a Cheytac in his video review. In either case these long range sniper rifles are serious money. 30 years ago you could buy a good car for the price of these rifles, costing over £4500.

    Yes, their rifles are expensive, but the latest DRS in synthetic is probably their cheapest at the moment, coming in at around £850. The walnut is £1000+. No reviews on it yet though, but it looks nice, and would be one that I would go for it had had the spare money to do so.

    Personally I don’t think £2,000 is a lot for a rifle and a hobby. Sure it’s a lot to spend out in one go but a high end rifle will still be worth a £1,000 in 5 years time if you choose the right manufacturer 👍 🤔so £1,000 over 5 yrs works out a cheap hobby really, that’s the way I look at it. As for FX rifles 🙄🙄 bloody awful service and unreliable guns just not fit for purpose

    No. It is a chronograph, but screws onto a 1/2 inch x2 UNF thread. This should make it very accurate in the process of finding the velocity, as it is in a consictant position. It has a 100 shot memory built into the chronograph, and unlimited memory if used with the app on your phone.

When I was on the stand the guy said it would be just over a £1000 and I’ve seen another video where an Arken guy said 2k so not sure on price. I see Pard have a multi unit which is just under 3k so difficult to know yet on price. Of course the question comes can a multi unit be as good dedicated units.
