That's me in the Navy hat in the video at the end. Only bought a few pellets, but was very tempted by a bunch of goodies.

I was going back and forth in my head over a fx dynamic compact and a little bsa jsr. Clouded judgement and mistakes were made

.

I should have grabbed this huntsman or webley fx2000. Absolute classics at a killer price. These guns would probably shoot with the best of them at 50 yards and look good doing it.

Thanks for letting me know. I’m always excited for these shows. Usually miss out on a couple things I want trying to take it all in. If you see something you like you better just buy it. No time to think haha

Oh and I think my neck is sore from looking down for 3 hours while walking

I had a table, but I only sold a few things to other vendors. The show seemed a bit slow, but it was good talking with a lot of familiar faces.

I did score a nice Crosman 160 Air Force training model complete with sights and sling.

I missed out on a .25 Wolverine HP though. I waited to long trying to sell some of my stuff and whe I went back it was gone.

That Crosman 160 was extremely nice. Boxed example from 1966 if I remember correctly.

It was pleasant to visit and speak with everyone; the show was fantastic.
I was able to pick up a mint Beeman R7 from an incredibly helpful and informative seller, an FWB300SU MK2 in need of some TLC, and a couple books—the Schimel airgun book and Larry Hannusch's "Pneumatic Reflections." Additionally, a special FWB124 from a reputable and well-respected collector. As a bonus, my friend from Ohio brought me a few old pellet tins and other small parts. And..... I got to meet Mike Baker, who made it in from Arizona.

It was definitely nice meeting up with people, that's the best part of the show.

I did get to see some amazing progress on a part being made for one of my airguns. Excellent work...I was extremely impressed. In the near future, it'll allow a mid 1700's air rifle to be used again.

I did pick up a few items there. One of which is a QB1 with the tools. My friend Nick bought a pile of Daisy pistols to mess with.

Good show, can't wait for next year!
