I had a great time, looking forward to the next one.


Big big thanks to K Klif for some hard to find treasures

Can’t remember the screen name of the guy upstairs who sold me the colt 223 mags….I owe you feedback

I got enough Feedback brother. Little hurt you don't remember me though ( Although my buddy ( who is tattooed) might have been the one to sell you the mags ( we spilt a booth)

Everybody talking about it being ODT only, isn't this forum open to just about anybody? I mean I've seen 0-0's on here posting about binary glocks and such. How closed is a closed show?

***edit*** no offense to folks that want a closed ODT only show. Just sayin.

Sure anyone with a computer can join I suppose. The thing is if they spend a little time on here we get to know them and they get to know us a little. And that can make a difference in the quality of people at the show. It's very simple and I think it works. I also like the idea of having to buy your ticket here, that also cuts down on the riff raff. I think if they do need to buy at the door, they need to prove they are a member. I have no problem with a gun shop as a vender as long as they're a member. We are a very diverse community so it would make sense that we all don't see eye to eye. We all need to thank Okuma for this site and the show. I'm sure it's no small task.
The chairs would be nice, but you have to be careful where you put them so as not to interfere with traffic and no one gets run over. They did have a stack of chairs down stairs one time. I did sit there for a little bit. This time I found a chair in the foyer. Struck up a conversation with a member, good visit

Chairs would have made it difficult for the forbidden baby strollers to maneuver around

I thought the show was well attended. I was able to sell/trade most of my "stuff". I was glad to be able to put a face with a screen name. Including, @RallySport awesome T shirt! The temperature in the building was a little steamy> I ask the the building manger to turn the AC lower she said she would but, apparently she didn't. One food vendor did take cash and the other was CC only. All in all my take was "can't wait until November show".

I imagine the AC wasn't working properly. Happens from time to time. It was humid, but tolerable. Yes, glad for the shows. Can't wait for the next one. As time goes on, I guess this show will continue to grow

Even though when you pay for a table it says you get 1 chair, in the 3 shows I've gone to I have never had a chair provided. Wife and I always put our two chairs in the wagon with the guns and stuff and have a comfortable place to sit all day. I would suggest that it is best to look out for yourself and carry a chair if you are going to have a table. I'd prefer not to have a chair on the other side, don't want someone sitting there shopping and blocking other folks from the candy container or looking at the wares for sale.

I didn't have any problems with the carts or strollers. OK by me. This is a conservative family oriented community

 

[basstracker89]

There's a little problem I see with a November gun show for deer hunters. Would you rather hunt the middle of the rut or go to a gun show?

Oops, that could be a tough call for sure.

 

[basstracker89]

Thank you. Godblesstheusa member did let us have one of his towards the end of the day, when I got tuckered out from standing.
Will know better next time to include an extra chair, and maybe a portable a/c that runs on batteries.

Yep, chairs and a small fan. This community knows how to improvise

Another issue I saw was that one ammo dealer had an entire row of tables. That's why they all sold out.
I thought only one booth or maximum 2 tables per vendor.

I'd rather have all the tables occupied than not. Just sell those unsold tables at the last minute to give members a chance
