The Flag City Toys That Shoot 2023 is scheduled for Saturday April 29 in Findlay. Anyone else planning to attend? https://www.flagcitytoysthatshoot.com/show-information Also, I have a couple of old Daisy model 25 that could best be described as VERY used and possible part guns. Do you think it would be something to take along or just leave them at home?

Please, please, pretty please, would someone take and post pictures of the show so that those of us who are unable to make the 4,500 mile round trip to Findlay can also enjoy it.

Thankyou - John

Will be going for sure. There were no more tables, the new location is on the county fair grounds. The organizer said that I could bring my own table and set up outside. I’m used to doing this at other events I go to. Not sure this would be worth it or not?

Indeed. I am a bit envious of the wealth of airgun shows, shops, etc. in the Midwest.

I fully intend on being there again!
Like Steve, I am disappointed they changed the venue this year.
I was looking forward to sharing a couple tables with him. Probably won't be there the entire day with no place to sit and share my samiches together.
The "Cube" was awesome and always sold out. Why they opted for a smaller place is beyond me.

So.. I will just bring a couple guns in the truck and my wallet..
Here is a pic from last year.

I will be there - very much looking forward to it.

I don't know about this year's change of location, but please note the very large "Cube" venue was first used in 2022 - most previous Findlay locations were smaller. Certainly, organizing an airgun show involves finding a place that will accept 'guns', has suitable space, affordable rent, and a workable date available. Remember "Flag City Toys That Shoot" was held for years at the Lighthouse Center and we all had a great time! I'm looking forward to another fine show this year, with a bunch of goodies to put on the table and always an eye out for something odd to take home.

I also missed out on tables.. my own fault though for not reserving earlier.

I know I won't be making the drive there now unfortunately.

Maybe next year, we shall see!

I'm gonna try to make an appearance.

Planning to be there! Look forward to seeing people and maybe exchanging money for something mostly made of wood and metal.

I'll be there too, but without a table, I'm not sure how long I'll hang around.

I'll be bringing a Daisy 117 (in the box) and a tuned HW97K along for trading/selling purposes.

Hoosier Daddy · « **Reply #12 on:** April 02, 2023, 08:45:29 AM »

Rumor has it somebody cancelled and a table opened up available.
I've kindly been offered a small corner of it. Even if I don't sell anything I will have a place to sit and see some old friends and make new ones.

Better get to making some more GTA window stickers to hand out

Just looked on the map and I'm about 70 miles away straight down 224 W. If I can I am going to go. Might take a few airguns with me that I don't use.

A friend that had two tables sold me one. Awesome! Looking forward to the best show Findlay has ever seen. Bringing a lot for display because sharing the hobby is really more fun for me than selling. I will be bring some guns to sell as well trying to narrow my collection.

IF I CAN!?! Jim, don't know if you are serious. Because this is a no-brainer! Do you realize how many people WISH they lived within 70 miles of a real airgun show? Basically all of us west of the Mississippi, excluding Texas.

I drive about 2 1/2 hours each way because I am "close".

I'm about 4 hours away and am strongly considering going. Just need to decide if I should get up early and drive down or find a room and arrive the day before. I'm not really liking the idea of 8 hours driving in 1 day.

Drive down the day before, then you can be fresh and early. The best deals will can go quickly depending what you are interested in.
