My two tables adjoining Tom Gaylord's on one side and Jerry (PelletGage) Cupples on the other, we were also the first tables encountered on entry through the front door. Good thing I got to chat with them both before the show opened to the public at 9 AM, because as soon as it did I was non-stop busy until after closing at 4! Between selling a few guns, horse-trading others, and selling enough of the miscellaneous 'closet stuff' I brought to make it worth having brought it, the show was not only one of my best in terms of commerce, but MORE FUN THAN SHOULD BE LEGAL! I moved a few airguns I don't use, and came away with a few awesome others I considered holes in my arsenal worth plugging.
Specifically, I traded my older, 380cc .22 Sumatra rifle for a newer, 500cc .25 Sumatra. Also found an excellent condition S&W 78G .22 Co2 pistol with factory adjustable trigger to replace a 78G badly missed in the 30 years since I parted with it. Also traded for a .177 and .22 BSA Lightning rilles I don't need, but are cool. Probably resell them after testing (hint, hint Y'all).
A buddy from NC also came in for the show, and stayed a few days at my place. We had great fun. Unfortunately another buddy from Oklahoma that usually does that couldn't make it this time; so that was a bummer.
I did okay in the TAS field target match yesterday considering I haven't shot an FT match in a year (since the last TAS FT match). After some scoring confusion resulting from one malfunctioning target being thrown out thereby reducing everyone's score by 2 points, I ended up second place in the (14 shooter) Hunter PCP class.
Most likely there will be a match report forthcoming after Jeff Cloud recovers from what had to be an exhausting weekend of bringing we airgun freaks MORE FUN THAN SHOULD BE LEGAL. Awesome job, Jeff!
