I'll be there with an eclectic selection from antiques to PCP's. Flag City Toys That Shoot has a new venue this year with a more convenient layout I'm told. Though it might not be the largest airgun show, there's always a lot of action at Findlay!
Anyone here going to the show April 14th? It will be my first time and looking forward to seeing a lot of vintage airguns. Only a hour and a half from where I live. Only been to 2 vintage Airgun shows, this is supposed to be one of the biggest?

I would love to see that but it would be a 6 hr drive wish it was on the east side of the state and closer to PA.

The Kalamazoo show is about 4 hours that I may do again. Just lucky Findlay is so close. Hope that Tom Gaylord is there so I can shake his hand, have learned so much from him in the last two years. It is a kick seeing so much vintage stuff, but if you have to add travel and a motel room, that gun you bought gets kind of expensive. Lol

The MI one would really be a drive.

The MI one would really be a drive. NY was near Syracuse, it’s not a real big show but it only takes one gun to make your day. They set up a nice range in back that’s open to shoot. I found nothing that day, but I have a pretty narrow focus. Thanks I could make Syracuse in 4 hrs a bit closer. I would love to just see things in person. Pic's are great but to see and touch things really helps, for me.

Here are 2 Pics of NY and one Pic of Kalamazoo. As you can see Kalamazoo is quite a bit bigger.Pics of New York Airgun Show 2017Wow it looks like a really big one. Maybe some year I will have to make the trip out to that one.
I am going to the Findlay show for sure. There are always guys at the Findlay show who are pumping up the Kalamazoo show; I may have to get up there this year. I went to the Baldwinville, NY show about six years ago and was not really impressed. My daughter lives in Ithaca, NY and it was about an hour and a half up the road from her, so I figured; what the heck. Glad I went though, saw a lot of airguns................[/quoteIs there a site or somewhere on this group that lists all the airgun shows?

There is a large one in Malvern Ark. one in North Carolina and one in Texas? Some on west coast but never going that far.

Looking at that map on here where we can post yourself and find shooting buddies there aren't even that many around me, so guess the market would have to get bigger.
http://jgairguns.biz/airgun_shows.htmlI found this page it lists all the shows on the east side of the US.
Hmmm.... 2 hrs 15 minutes to Findlay.... while there visit Jaquas/ once again 3 hrs 15 min to Columbus.1 hour 45 min to Kalamazoo.Might be a busy summer.
