Well they didnt do a very good job of geting the word out about this show because this is the first I have heard of it. Looks like its the show at the Rodeo center and its maybe slightly better than the Big Town show.

I may head out there here in a bit.

I'm contemplating whether to go or not.
Seems lately the shows are geared more towards handguns and AR's, fewer and fewer hunting rifles/accessories.

OK.....I just got back from the show. WOW there was a ton of people there. Dont think I have ever seen that many people at a Rodeo show.

Best deal I saw in the show was a Remington C grade custom shop 375 H&H for $800. I didnt buy it but man I wanted to!

New gun sales seem to be doing really well!!

All I bought was some 40 S&W HST ammo and a couple of P-Mags.

Thanks for the report up

Did you notice more or about the same as usual amount of bolt action hunting rifles?

Is this the show that is part of the annual Texas State Rifle Association convention? If it is then the show is a great place to join or renew your membership, Join or renew there and that includes show entrance fee, not a bad deal.

About what you would expect from a usual Big Town or Rodeo show. Way out numbered by AR's and handguns as has been the case the last few years.

I have no idea but if you give blood to the Carter Blood Care bus out front you get in for free. I decided I would rather pay $8 then be stuck with a needle and have my blood sucked away like a Vampire! grin
