Salisbury Show this weekend(8/27). Rowan Fairgrounds

Didn’t see it posted 6-Shooter show. My favorite show of his. Just thought I’d mention it I’ll go Sunday on the way to have lunch with my boy. Only takes a half-hour or so walk through it

Only takes a half-hour or so walk through it

That was my experience as well..
If I had some tradin fodder I might go anyways just to "support the community".
But right now I'm just tapped.. 🥴

I might check it out in the am when it opens. Put some more pellets in the smoker and the let the brisket cook and swing over and check it out. Since it’s like a few minutes from the house.

I'm usually set up at this but way too busy

Well that was a waste of 7 dollars to get in. Was hoping for a 308 upper and lower for the next build.

At least it wasn't $10 or $11 dollars like a lot of the shows.

I rolled thru today, it was rough. Prices are tough to swallow with a 50% mark-up on retail of several items, some were not that bad though, but still up there.
Somebody let them know, JonQ Public has the internet also. You can certainly make 5-10.bucks off people many times, but you’re unlikely to get me for 20-40.$ markup on parts and accessories any day.
With that said I knew it was gonna be like that before I drove 30min to get there and pay for me +1. Same for the Winston show last week. My wife bought jewelry and we rolled out.
I show up mostly to support the fact that the show is happening.
Between gas prices, food prices, and other costs the gun shows could disappear.
I like seeing the gun folk, and I would rather the shows not be something of the past we reminisce about like 100.$ SKS‘, ammo at .05 & .10c a round, and having hair. 😀
