    If you were trying to call from 1 they won't answer their phone cause they close for lunch. I can't remember if they close for lunch at 1-2 or 12.30-1.30. Best with till after 2 to try and call them.

    Are they still open? I called in 2 or 3 times in the last month or so and it looked all closed up. The last time I looked for ammo there they told me to go to another shop for it that they would not be getting it any more. What harm the ammo I got there was very cheap.

    1 of the lads was telling me about 2 week's ago that they were closing down and selling everything off. He said he got cheap waterproof clothing out of there

    Went down today , the shop is raped..picked a few things didn't try to bargain with the man i just took the price he gave me i just felt sorry for him, he told me that the vultures came in like grey hounds and cleaned the place out before any decent lads got a chance to grab a few bargains, most of of his scopes now are just air gun scopes and all the jackets are very big fitting ,if they fit you will pick up a deer hunter jacket worth 250 for about 40 quid,a lot of lads down there were talking about how the shop was one of the best shops in the midlands and how they could get anything they wanted from there...it was a bit depressing really.

    Ya it is sad,I enjoyed travelling up there with a few friends, great stock, if Gerry(RIP) had not got it,and could not get it,it did not exist:). Sadly missed especially his stories, I think his brother-in-Law is running the shop.

    Is the shop going to stay open long term or is it just selling off remaining stock and calling it a day ? Very sad if its the latter
