Another Colorado Springs Gun Show!!

[BlasterBob]

Here's a copy of the hand bill that the Sertoma Gun Show promoters are handing out. Good time of the year for a gun show so maybe I'll have a table at this one. I bet Alex will be there with his really neat stuff!
Anyone else planning on having a table at this one??

I sure hope they plan this better than the last one.

Please explain what the problem was at the last one? They had been doing pretty well and I didn't notice any screw up's at the last one that I attended. .

I went to their website and it said the gun show was at an address on Pikes Peak Avenue. When I got there, a sign was posted saying it was on Palmer Park. Yea, I wasn't too pleased about that.

How come they are having them every month now instead of every other?

Just curious if anyone knows.

I talked to more than one vendor that said it sucked working twice as many shows and selling the same amount of inventory.

yep its called greed and the worst part is if i dont show up i have to give up my table spot . it is kinda shity of them to do that to the vendors , but hey gotta pay to play in the shooting world .

Yeah Alex, if you do NOT pay at the show to have the same tables at the NEXT show, those tables are fair game for whoever wants them. That's pretty standard operational procedure for almost ALL gun shows.
I believe there are no really crappy table locations at this particular show due to it's size but we shall see.

We should organize a COAR15 show.

Sounds really nice until the cost of advertisement, facility rental and insurance comes into play unless theGinsue would want to hold one in his garage.

I know it wouldn't be free..

The real challenge is attracting enough vendors to offset the cost.
