Damn the RK gun show was SLOW both saturday and Sunday. WTF
Not alot of tables or vendors... I dont get it.

While i will agree that the amount of, guns and gear, was lighter than normal, what would be more desirable.?
Specifically, what would everyone like to see? I would really like to see more firearms dealers, competition is a great thing. On the flip side, if the attendance was dropping, the promoters would be closing up shop in these locations. Currently there three promoters the Atlanta area, RK and Eastman, gunners bringing up the rear. From my prospective, the shows have been average to above average, however i only see what comes by Cherokee's tables. Rich |
| I know guys on here aren't fans of the Eastman shows (I actually am not a fan either) but they usually always produce at the Gwinnett show. I don't know if it's the location but dealers of all kinds (firearms and jerky alike) always show up for the Gwinnett show. I got a great deal on a Night Force scope, Don Hume leather for my HK P30 (finally) and an AR mat for cleaning my guns (I've been wanting one for a while). I capped myself by only taking cash in and spent my limit but at the back I found a dealer with online-like ammo prices. They said they will be at Jonesboro the weekend of March 3rd so I will be seeing them then as they had great deals on 5.56 and .223 stuff. No good deals on 6.8 but I'm not surprised. I don't think there is much love in the Atlanta area yet. |
| As someone else said, I think the Eastman show in Gwinnett was largely to blame for the slower RK show. I stopped by the Eastman show on Sat to scope it out and i have never seen it busier. It is hard to compete with the North Atlanta Trade Center show. That being said, we had better prices at the RK show that I saw at Eastmans. |
