    I miss my Mainly Hunting in Wellington

    Shooters Supplies

    Shooters Supplies in Christchurch has a new owner as of a few months back, the best service of any gun shop in Christchurch, selection and they'll beat any price on any item! 10/10 for selection, price, service and knowledge. With an onhand gunsmith, they'll help source a huge range of parts, have an unmatched knowledge of the majority of all munitions and firearms and a 30 year history. Shooters Supplies FTW and over Gun City anyday. Down Riccarton Road, head there ahead of other gun shops in Christchurch for gun related buys and help, some great guys up in there and they have a new website at shooterssupplies.co.nz.

    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    Argh my posts are obviously not coming across well.

    I want a shop to support here and plug in the magazine, FB etc in return for providing an address I can get things posted to (so people don't know my personal address). That's it.

    I didn't want anything free, I don't think I'm important, I don't want to be Melissa Bachman, I simply miss the guys at my old local who remembered my name and I was happy to recommend as an awesome shop for newbies to go to, because they are an awesome shop.

    Craftys is well past it IMO.

    Rogee I'll pop in again some time and give a second go.

    And to clear it up for Neckshot, I wasn't bagging anyone. I have my honest experience and my honest intentions. I'd like a "little guy" shop as my regular.

    South African guy. I had to pin him down to talk, with eye contact and "Gidday", picking up stuff going to the counter and I still couldn't get anyone to speak to me.

    I asked, "do you not sell magazines here?" And he grunted a no, I said "oh. I write for NZO and I wanted to provide some free advertising of a shop in return for getting things posted here" another grunt, looking at the floor, I gave up at that point. No suggestion of who I could go to instead like who the manager or owner was to talk to. I bought my item and left in awkward silence.

    I'm not trying to say I'm a big headed be all and end all.

    What I loved about Mainly Hunting was the genuine love and enthusiasm of the outdoors and passion to get people onto things. They were always honest and helpful and excited. I was hoping for a similar thing in HB. Perhaps it was a bad day for this chap. I might give it another go but the mag may well say no anyway seeing as they don't sell any magazines.

    It's true
    All they'd tell me is that the owner pulled the plug

    As best I can tell the internet is the main competitor, not that bunch of spankcarrots down the road who took over the old Hamills - look around, there's a plethora of online firearm importers in this country.
    It's part of a wider picture for bricks and mortar retail in general - talk of womens' fashion shops charging women to try on dresses because they size it in the shop then order it online. Used bookstores throwing out people using handheld scanners to match their prices against ebay and the like to see if it's worth buying the book and reselling it for profit, we've all heard the stories - retail is a hard slog

    Moritz the gunsmith has gone to NZ Ammunition Co in Upper Hutt and when I asked the boys what they were doing they assured me they were gonna be male prostitutes - cheerful as ever..

    Ah, well that's a shame but I can totally understand it. You're 100% correct about Retail being a bloody hard business these days.

    I hope to see the guys kicking around, I near hugged them when I saw them at the Sika Show! That gunsmith is hard case crack up. All the best to them all.
