Definately visit Sandwell Field Sports.
Its a decent sized shop, thats well stocked and
They know their stuff and the service is superb.
Add to that the light hearted banter and a cuppa if you get there at the right time.
Only problem is if they are vacuuming you cant make yourself heard

Dont hold your breath waiting for Bates to open they said they would open 6 months ago......still waiting
