I'm as giddy as a five year old waiting for Christmas! I've been going through my stuff looking for things I can do without. I'll be bringing several airguns, scopes, pellets and accessories. I've got a table reserved and I'm ready to buy, sell and trade!

No one is as nuts as I am just set up my table yesterday in our spare bedroom. 1/2 Display 1/2 for sale. The displays are my Military trainers and a larger display of the prewar airguns from the small German town of Zella Mehlis, home of the original Walther factory. Three airgun factories were there also Tell, FLZ, and EM-GE. Even have a book on the town in the 1920’s-30’s pictures with text in German! Lol. Shameless advertising for the 7 guns I’m selling all collector quality. The Mad Man from Indiana will fill out the rest of the retail space.

Looking forward to seeing everyone. Will have a few tables, lots of guns and even more pellets. Should be a lot of fun.

It is. I bought it last April, adjusted the power to an average of 11.5 ft. lbs. I only shot about a tin through it, then I got "shiny object" syndrome. I started messing with other stuff and I hadn't shot it much since.

I won't be heart broken if I don't sell it though

Another friend and I will be there around opening time. Hopefully I will be able to put some faces to some names.

Hmmm...it's possible that my blood alcohol level was a little high when I wrote that INITIAL POST, but I do appreciate everyone's responses!

If you are a dealer at the show, you'll have a name tag...it might be help the names-to-faces process, to scribble your forum handle beneath your real name?

A couple more days until setup on Friday. A couple of things for those from out of town. Findlay has several great gun stores. Jaqua’s Fine Guns is the oldest (although in a new building adjacent to the interstate) in town. Many classic guns to ooh and ahh about, with prices to match. They serve a worldwide clientele, but also have guns for us common folk, too. Next is TNT, a local mom ‘n pop flavor with friendly, knowledgeable staff. Lastly, is Buffalo Trading Company with a wide variety of guns and supplies with a Wild West decor, including life size Annie Oakley and Buffalo Bill statues, full size Grizzly bear mounts, a Gatling gun, saloon bar and back bar and a gun vault of collectible Winchesters and Colts.

A couple of favorite eateries- breakfast and lunch, quick service and daily specials- Pilgrim Pancake House. Close to Jaqua’s.
Lunch and dinner and adult beverages- West End Tavern. Good stuff. Get a Westender if you are really hungry.
Upper crust- great chefs and service and reasonable to spendy- Fins. My wife claims it the best surf and turf, anywhere.
And for dessert- Dietsch Brothers Ice Cream and Candy. Voted best ice cream in Ohio multiple times.

Going to be in the high 70’s. Awesome Spring finally taking hold. Looking forward to the bigger venue.

I can't make a trip to Findlay without stopping at Dietsch Brothers. 🍨
Also, Wilson's Hamburger had good burgers. Kind of a old time place.

Thank you to our advertisers!
