    Last few times I have been there it was a horrible show. Very small and not worth the time. Hopefully it has gotten much better.

    Is it the indy 1500? Nope. But is it the South Bend or La Porte shows? It's better than those.

    I think it being "worth your time" is relative to what you're expecting to find. I went in the fall and found it a nice way to spend the afternoon.

    This is a relatively new show and is still in the building stage. New vendors are being added to each show, so this show is growing.

    This is my first time doing this show, so whether that is an improvement or not :dunno:.......I'll let the INGO community and the people that attend decide. :):

    Well heard from Brad last night and this show is about the same size as the Kokomo show. Not all the vendors set up last night so he was not able to check it all out. It is in a real nice banquet room with carpet and nice lighting. I wish I were there so I could hit up the Casino after the show.:):

    Not many vendors. Met Brad from Brads knives and bought one from him for a good price. Overpriced ammo from most places as usual. If your in the area and got 6 bucks to spend may as well go and walk around.

    It was alright. I wanted to buy a k98k but the seller was a little high on his price and wouldn't come down to what I wanted to pay for it. I think it was the first gun show I went to without buying anything. Hardly anyone had ammo. ZX guns had firearms that were reasonably priced. I doubt if I will go back to the next show.

    Brads Knives and ZX both had good prices and service, everything else sucked majorly. Total wasted effort. You can see those who thought they would capitalize on panic are now stuck with shamefully priced ammo and guns. Shoulda saved $6 and just twiddled my thumbs at home
