Range report needed: guns and gear expo,

[Rightwinger]

I was up til 0400 building stage props at my church for the childrens' christmas play...

Is this where you want to be when Jesus comes back...? Making fun of His servants working for the children?

He's everywhere you know?

You heathen:D

He is everywhere and he's seen your carpentry work. He is still smiling at his "child" at work. He's thinking finger paint next time!

Back on topic! Loved it, will do it again, especially when I can buy more than a knife sharpener and a lowering line for hunting.

[Guest JHatmaker]

Also, before too much time passes by and I forget to say something... Joe - make sure and tell your daughter and the other workers in the Snack Shop that we appreciated them taking care of us. I know they worked their tails off having both the Expo and the flea market to deal with.

I got to see many things at the show that I have never seen before. It was worth the trip for that alone. It was a lot more like mini SHOT show than like a typical sale.

[Guest mikedwood]

Anyway... I f'ed a few things up. I'll try to do better next time.

Just keep rolling on David and Joe if you like the pressure. I use to help a guy that did some shows (not gun related).

Once the 5,000 customer mailing list of past attendees. That was the bread and butter. Didn't go out until the day before the show. He hired a company to handle it and it was assumed it was handled.

Another time the largest newspaper ad he had ever taken out had the wrong dates.

He set up one show and had a beer company sponsor it. Had like 6 kegs of beer. Buy a $5 cup and all you can drink. A sure winner. Only it was hemp beer and only about 10 people bought cups, the rest were afraid they would fail drug tests.

But some shows were great, others dead.

One thing is for sure it's high pressure for 2 or 3 days.

Awesome!

You didn't bring your camera, did you?

[Guest Oleg Volk]

I didn't use my camera though I brought it. I did grab one of the Hero Gear rifles to photograph at leisure:

Nice rifle, but what's that POS thing hanging off the bottom?

Good thing that Strickj brought his thinnify lens.

[THE COOP]

I would like to thank Joe and David for their effort on bringing a show like this to middle Tennessee, I've been to a show at-least once a month for the last 6 months and this show was a breath of fresh air, factory rep's, quality vendors, good food, a TGO VIP lounge and a gun show that allowed the public to carry there hand gun holstered and loaded, finally a Tennessee Gun Owner friendly show!!! Joe and David thanks for putting 200% into this show and letting me a part of this and I'll be volunteering again in March!!!! COOP
