    Admission: $6.00

    It's a smaller show but for $6 it's not a bad time. I've gotten some decent deals there. At the last show there was a guy selling new DPMS AR-15's for $450.
    This is the same show that is on Black Friday.

    I've got a family function to attend Saturday (I'm in charge of the home made ice cream). Probably be Sunday for me.

    Roughly the same size as any of the other shows you typically see around the area, other than the Indy 1500. I have always found it to be one of the better ones regarding content and pricing. It is usually pretty much all gun related rather than fudge and jewelry, and the dealers do seem to actually want to sell some items. Usually worth it if you aren't driving too far and aren't looking for anything too exotic. Hope that helps.

    Not much selling going on this morning at the show, I overheard a number of sellers complaining about the turnout and that no one was buying. I certainly wasn't buying when I saw prices.... Ouch. A table or two had fair prices on some new guns but 90% of the used guns were significantly overpriced.

    I saw a few things I thought about buying, but somehow, when I walked in, I got really frugal all of a sudden. Usually just the opposite happens! :):

    Thanks for the input. Glad I went grocery shopping instead and made baked pasta with meat balls and garlic bread.

    Didn't find the rifle I wanted but did meet some friends and bought a couple of small items. Overall not a bad way to spend a rainy Saturday morning.

    I was there today around 9:00. Pretty dead. I bought a IWB holster for my 38 and got to meet the Owner of Indy Arms Co., Rick Cass, and his son.

    We spoke for a while about his new range and some of his plans for the future. He's pondering on establishing an outdoor range nearby with 1,000 yd capabilities. That would be pretty awesome. I'd love to have somewhere to let my K31 stretch it's legs.

    I was there Sat.afternoon,(70 mi drive)--2 rooms-------very clean,well lighted,not crowded------found some Federal .22 TARGET ammo, at 48.00 pr Brick----"GREAT PRICE"---I saw some dealers buying it.......
    Bought some cast bullets(used them before--better than stuff from XXXXXXX Arms Co.)

    Talked to one dealer that was very proud of his firearm display--------mostly used--"NO DISCOUNT--ON ANYTHING--PERIOD"

    Was it worth the drive ???? nahhhhhh,not this time
