Looking forward to the show this coming weekend! I've never been, anyone know how the turnout usually is? We will have our firearms training simulator there!

I live in that area, I'll have to go check that out. I've wondered why we haven't had a gun show in Marion for a long time now. Glad to here that we have one coming up soon.

Can't speculate on the number of tables/vendors but since it in the old Sears building it has the potential to be a large show. As far as customer turnout goes most of the shows I've been to since the 1st of the year have been packed.

My contacts were blurry and I was certain this said "Gun and Kite Show" I thought this was a wacky pairing with potentially hilarious consequences. But knives are cool too.

I dont live to far from Marion.. and sad to say I have not been to a gun and kite show or a gun and knife show in a long time... BUT I am planning to go anyone else around Grant County going?? Tim

The last show I was at wasn't packed. Seems its slowing down. While busy yes but not packed. Even the 1500 wasn't packed from what I was told.
Is like to go but already have plans both days

The building the show was previously held in became unavailable and it took a while to find a different building. Hoping for a good turnout!

Looks like about 150-175 tables.

Met INDSIM tonight. Seems like good people, didn't get to try out the simulator yet but I hope our fellow INGO'ers will come out and support him.

Well, I went and checked out the show this afternoon and bought a couple ammo boxes to store my reloads in. It was a fairly nice show, but not a whole lot that I saw to get overly excited about. It's a new show and just getting started. I hope they can find a place to have it again next year or even sooner, and it keeps growing and growing. It kind of reminded me of the Tipton show, only a bit smaller. A lot better selection of firearms then I figured they would have, but sadly the prices were about where I figured they would be. Overall I'd give the show a grade of a B... I may be just a bit generous with that grade, but being a new show I don't want to be too picky, or sound like I'm putting it down in any way. If nothing else it was a fun time kill, and only cost five bucks at the door.

Any AR Uppers at the show? Thinking of driving up tomorrow to check it out.

Can't say I remember seeing any, but then again I really wasn't looking for any. I do remember seeing some AR's at various tables, and a table full of AR accessories like grips, stocks, fore ends and so on. Sorry can't really say for sure. Maybe someone else will know.

I actually saw quite a few today. I don't remember the prices though. Sorry.

I was not too impressed with the turn outs. Mcgalliards had the one of the biggest tables, but I didn't even stop by there. Not a fan.

Thanks, sounds like it may be worth a trip up to take a look around. I agree on the McGalliards comment, will be bypassing their table as well.

Thanks for the kind words Dave, It was a pleasure meeting you!!
