Sounds like a good place to by Busse Combat Knives.
I will second the Friday suggestion if you can swing it. This year I can't swing it so I'll be there on Saturday. I've been to the shoot in the past on both Fridays and Saturdays and no need to fret too much about stuff to buy. If you got any unwanted firearms related goodies bring them to sell, I've not come home with too much stuff that I've taken to sell in the past. This year I'll be taking 200 rounds of Australian NATO spec 7.62x51 ammo, and some FAL mags for the once intended FAL that failed to materialize. I may even take the M3 mags I've had for decades to sell.
If you've not been to this shoot in the past, here are a few pointers.
1. Arrive early, there will be a line for parking, sometimes up to an hour.
2. Wear comfortable shoes that are good for any type of weather.
3. Bring a jacket and poncho, keep in the vehicle if it's warm and sunny.
4. Bring a pack of some sort if you intend on buy or selling anything.
5. Be prepared to walk, A LOT!!!!
6. Be prepared for very large crowds in a small area.
7. Of utmost importance, do not forget hearing protection.
8. Bring fluids and snacks. This is one of the ways a pack is handy.
Is there an INGO members meeting spot/time planned for either day?
a couple friends and i had plans to go down but it fell through. how was it?
I went Friday was disappointed. The shoot was o.k., but the crowd was, well, probably the worst I've ever had to deal with at a gunshow. Rude, inconsiderate, and just plain full of asshats. How bad was the crowd? I've got a knot on the back of my head from a Garand muzzle and a bruise on my thigh from being knocked into a table by a 350 lb. tacticool mall ninja wannabe. Also, seems like there is getting to be more and more cheap Chinese made junk and crappy repro stuff. Most prices weren't bad, but not much in the way real deals either. Because of the crowd I got fed up and left by 11:30.
