Best air gun shows in US every year?

[yabadab]

Hello, 

i am new to the sport and I am looking for maybe the top 3 gun shows to attend. Is the SHOT show the best for air guns to see and maybe try? The Texas show? Biggest show for air gun related vendors? Any help is appreciated!

I've only been to Texas and Arkansas. Ark is small but a lot of fun . Only time I see old friends , we go out for pizza and beer and just have a great time catching up.

Texas show is much larger and has Tom Gaylord on hand ...One of the coolest , and down to earth folks in the sport . Lotta folks see Tom as a " treasure " ...To me he is a blast and one of the funniest guys around . 

I wanna make the Ohio show this next year . I hear it is Great also !

March 28th and 29th 2020 there will be an airgun show in placerville CA. Its the only airgun show west of the rockies. I will be there but never been before so cant say how cool it is or not.

Shot Show is no doubt the largest and most publicized event that showcases the newest product to market. The Texas Airgun show has to be the largest public Airgun Show. I know the GTA forum has events by state that may show many of these events close to home.

There's a show in Binghamton NY in June or July that has been running for over 25 years. It's one to check out.

Tony McDaniel’s show in Hickory NC is EXCELLENT. It’s the spiritual successor to the pioneering show in Roanoke than Fred Liady ran for years, and consistently has a great crowd and a lot of goodies to look at. Coming up soon on October 18.
