Haven't been to one in probably 10yrs, is it worth the drive?  Only two guns on my radar is a SOCOM 16 and a blackhawk 357.

I've been going all along.  Obviously stock is down at the moment but there is still things to be had.  A Blackhawk shouldn't be difficult, SOCOM 16 a bit more so.  Don't expect any reloading supplies and very little ammo.  Prices are up but there are still buys to be had if you look carefully.

Fairgrounds requires masks.  I think the entry fee is up to $8.  The new 4H Building is much much nicer than the old one.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to skip it if masks are required. I'll wear one for a doctor visit but not for recreation

At the last couple of shows, the prices were stupid crazy.  I go, mostly, to look at military surplus rifles such as Mausers, Enfields, Mosins etc. Prices are high.

Having owned a SOCOM 16, I would not ever buy one again. The M1A Bush Rifle, or Scout, will shoot into 2.5" at 200 yards all day with good ammo. The SOCOM 16, might hold 6" at 100 yards if you're lucky.

Show was decent by current standards.   No more mask required. No reloading supplies and not much ammo.
