Used to know a guy's son that raced in the chili bowl, he was the one murdered by his grandfather last year just before the race.

My son and I drove to Tulsa this past week. Left 4:30am Denver time got there 3:37pm Tulsa time. We spent all day Friday-dealer day-and all day Saturday at the show. Ammo was HIGH-but gun prices were good. We walked about 18 miles over the two days. I will be there again in November.
I picked up quite a bit of ammo. 45lc,44mag, 3006 and 308. All from Bitterroot. 45lc 26.00/50 28.00/50 for bear loads. match 308 and 3006 23.00/20. Several cases of AK ammo. Also got an Encore in 270 and 50cal. Found a very nice 1903A3. 43 rework then never issued again. I was very happy with that find. Picked up 6 80 series Colt and several frankin AR's. Mostly plum crazy and frontier lowers. Great show, crowd was looking for ammo and not so much for guns. I have never had a bad Tulsa. Hope to see you there next April.
They used to both be about the same. I used to go to both shows until about 3 years ago. The November show used to be in October, but a conflict with a horse show took the gun show October week and the show moved to November. The November show conflicts with Missouri rifle deer season opener. Like I said in an earlier post I have never had a bad Tulsa. Its like fishing in Canada. Not much fishing here after you have been to Canada fishing. Once you have been to Wanamacher Tulsa gun show most other gun shows don't measure up. If I were a younger man I would start a hugh gun show 50 feet from the Colorado border in Wyoming along I-25.
The tulsa show used to be alot more entertaining until the fairgrounds board began messing around with things. It became over-run with liberals, and they proceeded to restrict who could speak at the shows, and upping the fees for use of the building. Then they began catering to the horse show crowd, ran out a theme park that had been there for years, and forced the fall show to reschedule. It came to an end when a scandal blew up there, and some board members were voted out, and people were fired. One of the board members let the waterpark skip a couple of years worth of lease payments.
I believe each and EVERY table at the Wanenmacher Tulsa Gun Shows gets a lot of attention and potential customers however with current table prices of $165 each, kinda weeds out the little guy who gets a table to just get rid of some of his excess/no longer needed stuff.
