Very interesting! I'm guessing there will be show hotel rates as well ... if any rooms are left.

yeah me my wife and I and possibly two of our close friends are going for two days this year, during the week
Went last year for one day and there is almost too much to see in one day. Went on a saturday and it was packed. Although if thats the only day you can make it up there, While crowded you cans still enjoy the show IMO, just gotta have some patience sometimes

For great Justice
Unlike just about every gunshow, lawful concealed carry is expressly permitted. saw a couple OCers in years past, wasn't sure if they were vendors, of just carrying OWB and took a jacket off, either way it's nice not to be hassled.
We get there every year. We were volunteers with the NRA for the shows in the past. Nice to meet up with friends from the NRA Range and Pyramid Air.

I just bought tickets for the NRA Country Concert. This will be my first time going to this show. I'm excited

Wear comfy shoes. The place is 64 acres all indoors. I would also suggest a back pack of some kind so you can stuff your coat in if you don't want to pay to check it or carry it.

My Wife and I are going to be helping out with the NRA this year for the First time as well on the 6th
Than we are heading up the following thursday to enjoy the show. Looking forward to that week
Might do a Fri./Sat. trip.
Is there a separate line for having your tickets vs. buying a ticket? At the Oaks show you can buy your Saturday ticket on Friday and avoid the line.

Meh. I'll pass. Just looked through the list of exhibitors....90% are outfitters of some sort. Not what I'm looking for at all. Nor fishing, knives, archery, boats, ATVs, metal roofing, or truck wheels. Did an advanced search, searching out exhibitors with just firearms, ammo, and accessories and found not that many that interested me honestly. WHERE'S THE SHOOTING STUFF? Son wanted me to check to see if Duck Commander would be there again, nope. Realtree? nope. Guess I'll wait until the Annual Meetings are back in this area of the country again; regret missing it at Charlotte when it was there.

Heading up for a weekday. I saw Taylor's & Co of Winchester will be there. Hoping to fondle some 1883 rifles. Last year waited till a few days before and found a house for the night from VRBO. Was probably 30 minutes out and $100 for the night split between 3 guys. Worked out well.
It's a nice break from the winter monotony, and I ignore the duck calls. Those guys drive me nuts.

We went on a Saturday last year. I was crowded but you could move around. It definitely a great time!

yes, there is a separate line and the line if you don't have a ticket will likely take a while to get through. Last year a friend didn't have a ticket and it was about 10 degrees outside. The rest of us walked right through. Let me know if you are going and when.

gonna flash your press badge?
Maybe
That will save you the $10 parking fee. So it's worth flashing it at the gate if you park in their lot.
And yes, weekdays are a lot better than weekends. It's a lot easier to move around and talk with the vendors.
I'm hoping to visit the Ken Penrod booth, for some upper Potomac fishing.
Not sure what day I'm going yet, but Cabelas is a good side trip, and Troegs brewery in Hershey is just a few minutes off of Rt. 81, and always a great stop for some food and brew. Always worth bringing a growler there.
Bump, Thursday Friday for me.
