I've been to the last several in Lebanon, they were pretty good shows in my opinion. There was plenty of new fangled stuff but a good selection of older more interesting stuff as well. November and December were jumping I expect the one next weekend will be insane.

I'm considering getting a table at the Jackson show later this month or the Lebanon show in Feb and try to move guns I no longer use but still have. Glad to hear the shows are good. Never been to one in Jackson but did go to one in Lebanon a couple years ago when I was in the area and it was pretty good.

The Lebanon RK shows are finally what middle Tennessee deserves. After years of shitty locations(literally, if you remember the dungeon in Murfreesboro with the plumbing issues), the Wilson county expo center has the room, parking, light, bathroom facilities, and cleanliness to put on good shows.

I never went to any of those. When I lived here before (07’-10) the Franklin show at the ag expo center was really good. But its not happening anymore for whatever reason. |

I’ve been to a few of the ones in Jackson over the past couple years. They have been better than they were years ago and I’ll probably go to the next one this month. It’s hit or miss on parts. No major just parts dealers. But some stuff. I go in a large part just to see what’s there, with an occasional purchase.

I've worked shows at both locations although not in 2 years.
Lebanon has the best facility because it's the newest. Everything is clean, for example. Free parking too. Quality is hit or miss, like many shows. Not too much on the walk-around guys either. Some say it's gotten better & that's a good thing. The Jackson shows have odd golden nuggets pop up at the most unusual of times. These are walk-arounds rather than dealers I'm speaking of. My biggest complaint about the Jackson show is that Fudd's get riled up when they're told their 12ga pump with 28" bbl & fixed choke isn't worth $450 on trade. Every time.

Holy shit, I think we have a full-blown panic at the Lebanon show today! Traffic is backed up & not moving from I-40 to the expo center. I’m sure the line to get in is around the building, as well as very cramped inside.
I turned around and am going to have brunch with a buddy instead. My inner capitalist pig doesn’t need to sell a gun that badly. |

I live about half an hour from Jackson, have attended a couple of shows and not particularly impressed.
For the money ($10 per) I'd just as soon wait for one to roll around to the Agricenter in Memphis. |

I may go tomorrow morning if it dies down a little bit. |

I went with a buddy yesterday. We actually thought it was a pretty good show. Now that said, I wasn’t looking for 5.56 or 9mm ammo. On the whole, the prices were better than I’ve been seeing at shows closer to me. Naturally, there were some pretty outrageous prices on some things. The $85 lb of powder comes to mind. But I found enough of the oddball stuff I was looking for to make it worth the 2 hr drive to get there and the time waiting in line to get in. Assuming it’s still going on in the future, I’ll probably go again.
