Is any one planning on making it out to Tulsa this year? Went to it last year, trying to decide if I should go meet some buddies out there. If you haven’t been and want to go to a big gun show this would be the one, check it it out.

Really reallllllly thinking about it.
My plan would be to leaving immediately after work on that Friday and make the drive, think its 10 hours.

If you don’t get pulled over in Kansas You can make it in 9ish. Last year we flew there Friday and rented a car to drive back Monday. This year is probably drive both ways

Tulsa Arms Show is a regular fix for my collectibles addiction.
I set up on the lower level, Row LA 10, Tables 11 and 12.
I'll be setting out Randall and Custom Made knives, and I have a firearm collection I will be moving for good prices.
Stop by and talk knives, firearms, fishing, hunting, Colorado Politics??? (Elections will be over, so we can really be candid and forgo the PC restriction)
Friday is set-up day, Saturday is the day the public swarms through, and Sunday morning is bargain time with a lot of the vendors leaving from noon on.
4,500 tables under 7 1/2 acres of single span roof (it was an engineering wonder when it was built)
I take a couple of days to drive so I can enjoy the beauty of Eastern Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma - the dry brown fields and constant wind.

The show was a little slow this time. The weather and hunting seasons in the surrounding states and OK seem to have reduced the number of people attending.
There were 4,000 tables set up this go 'round when they usually have 4,500 - 4,700. The aisles were not jammed upstairs on Saturday as they have been in the past.
Downstairs was less than normal. Some vendors were leaving Saturday night and it was emptying fast on Sunday.
All reports were that last April was a record show and hopes are for a good show next April.

Yea that’s kind of what I thought as well. Defiantly less and I noticed everyone leaving early. I was bummed work was too busy to make it to last April, hopefully this April I can make it out there.

[BladesNBarrels]

I didn't make the last April show due to other plans.
The fellows from Texas and Arkansas that I let use my two tables had their best show ever in April.
They've been going for over 10 years.
They didn't do too well this November show.

[BladesNBarrels]

The April Show is fast approaching. April 5 is set-up day. Open to the public April 6 and 7.
The April Show last year was reported to be a great show.
I will be setting up in the Lower Level, Row 10LA, Tables 11 and 12.
Come on buy (yep, intentional spelling).
Stop and talk firearms, knives, Colorado politics - whatever.
