Airgun Show American Style

[draitzer]

Steve, thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you ended up with the Diana as it will be well appreciated. It was a great show at the new venue, and it was clear you weren't alone in having a most enjoyable airgun day. There was action in the aisles all day and lots of items changing hands. Total paid attendance was 324 (kids are free so the overall number is higher), fairly typical for Findlay - wonder how this compares to Binners's Kempton fairs?

That near-pristine ABAS was once mine (came from one of the UK folks quite a long time back) - I had to let it go when it was replaced by a virtually new-in-box example. The Mark II Target as mentioned was not a great example but at $150 found a buyer...something for everyone!

Do your fairs always conbine powder arms and airguns? Over here we have regular guns shows which are huge but usually no airguns.

We started off with a view to run an air gun fair just for a few of us that used to attend Bisley, before the demise. Then we decided to invest in a proper exhibition venue with all the facilities. This meant putting more bums on seats to cover costs.

The support from Members on here and a few big air gun traders, turned this into (according to others) a success. We have the support and backing of the 'Bisley Classic Armsfair' founder Cliff Fuller and now traders stock varies from cap badges - cannons...
