    Just got back . It was crowded in comparison to the gun shows . Had couple guys selling ammo and 2 people set up selling guns . Didn’t really see much in equipment to be had . A lot of vendors for charters and guided hunt/ fishing . Few tables selling lures. Wife liked the pig races and was enjoyable watching the young fish for the trout. Something to do get out of house .

    Yes . Going to say minimal. Believe 2 booths that had rod & reels another had jigs umbrella rigs ect.... not much though. Was kinda expecting to see it like Early heights show they have but it just wasn’t much equipment there. Didn’t pay much attention to the rods so couldn’t tell ya new or used , think it was a little of both . Show seemed mainly people selling hunts , fishing trips , and deer attractant. Not really a whole lot to buy .JMO

    My son and I went earlier this afternoon. I talked to Overwatcher at the TGH booth and set up to get my new AR build cerakoted, and met Biggfoot44 at the MSI table and got a membership. I went with 2 goals, and checked off both. My son got some fishing lures, so he got we he wanted as well.

    There are a couple tables with used rods, tackle , etc . Several with lures. Several guides/ charters. Also hunting orientated of above .

    Is it worthwhile or enjoyable ? Depends on you .

    It IS different from the usual . This is an Outdoor Sports event that also has a few dealers of firearms and ammo . A reversal of usual gun show with occasional outdoors gear .

    Only about 25% overlap from typical gun show crowd .

    From an education and advocacy perspective , it's great to interact with lots of new people we haven't yet had opportunity .
