Title: Hickory NC show 2024
Post by: schwinnbikebob on June 20, 2024, 10:34:50 PM
Wife wants to get away for a few days later this year.  I kind of worked it around so I could take in the Hickory show.   Is this a pretty good show?   Only ever been to 3 shows, Midwest twice and the last Findley.  How is this show compared to them?   Not making the trip just for the show so will for sure check it out but just curious.

So funny I’m planning the same trip with my wife. See ya there.  I hear that it is a good show and cool cause you can shoot the guns there.

YES! Tony McDaniel consistently does a great job with the Hickory show.

Being a 2-day affair, it's a diff vibe than Findlay or Columbus, a bit more relaxed I'd say. Some good new-stuff dealers (but fewer than Midwest), more of a focus on older stuff.

The best thing is that it's held on the local fairgrounds - you walk out the side door to a huge open field where you can SHOOT. Most sellers are happy to let you try before you buy.

Old thread I know, but the show is still upcoming. I am fortunate to live 30 minutes from the show. I've gone several times and really enjoy it. It is the only airgun show I have ever attended.

I am coming from MI and will have 2 tables full of vintage airgun stuff.   I hope to see you there.

Just finished one of my exhibits. A teak locking box off the bay was pretty cheap and a perfect pistol case.

Will anyone be selling GRT triggers at the Hickory show?
