Not entirely, people come in from all over.....Oh I see what you mean
The long range challenge (F class) was also on that weekend, rich picking for anyone necky enough.
A while back a high end scope was nicked out of a van rear (Stickledown I think).
Anyone can wander in and mingle, we are all so bloody trusting and get on (even with the TRshooters....
)
It would not be the first time I have wandered over to and opened the wrong drag bag, everyone seems to use AIM bags, but no one batted an eyelid.
It would be a bit silly nicking something like that given just how easy it would be to identify, even if you changed the colour, there cant be many about.

If I remember rightly (and I must admit my memory is going a bit
) but back in 1985 or 86 a SUSAT got nicked off an SA80 that was on a Royal Ordinance display stand. I was shooting in the Schools Ashburton at the time and the theory was a Cadet had it away to probably chuck on an air rifle :lol:

Someone said north west custom parts don't do Bisley tradecfairs anymore because he had 2 or 3 things nicked off rifles....
Theft at Bisley is nothing new,its an open place,tradesman's have had untold number of things stolen from ammo to guns. In fact was not there a rifle stolen recently on century? From a car boot,easily done as one trusts those around as fellow shooters.....
I'm just hoping the guy who nicked it and gets caught is thecsame rude sad smelly little man I tore into at the phoenix show for pushing his ugly little head in from of me and interrupting my conversation with the stall holder...I hate ignorant that's like that......
