Carlisle PA airgun show this weekend

I went to the Central PA Airgun Show this weekend and was very pleased with the variety of vendors and items for sale. A good mix of the latest PCP guns springers and antique Airguns . It was nice to be able to handle guns you only see on the internet and talk to the vendors. The only thing disappointing was the poor attendance. At least I thought it was slow. The show was only Saturday 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. I brought a Airforce CondorS to try and sell but got no love. I left after about 3 hours and put the rifle away. Then I got thinking I should have tried to make a trade on a nice .117 springer that I saw . I rushed back getting there right at 3:30 and there was no one there! They must have packed up early. This was the second show in Carlisle and hope it continues. I do gun shows myself as a vendor and know how frustrating it can be when the traffic is slow or you queastion if it is worth doing it again being you sometimes hardly make expenses. But I have learned from past experience that the networking is worth some sales down the road. But gun shows just aren’t what they used to be.
 
It was a great and well run show. We sold a ton of stuff but my big items came home with me. It was a great day overall. Yes traffic at the show was less than I had hoped but many people there traveled far and expressed there satisfaction with the show and what they bought and sold. Everyone wants to do the show and everyone wants to get on the road at the end. When the action dies down you can't expect people to hang around. I left just before three and most vendors didn't leave until right around three.
