Thanks for the info .

headed out Monday . Was hoping to see the new Trophyline hyperlight series , but see they aren’t there .

But will make a day of it to find something else I dint need lol

They are there. They were one of the few vendors that I just passed on, because it was so crowded, hawking over the one set of sticks I wanted to check out. Last time I went on a weekend was probably 8 years ago. Won’t make that mistake for at least another 8 years lol.
 

I wanted to check out CZ’s new bolt gun (they do lifetime barrel replacements now), that was also packed. I did get to handle S&W’s new Leverguns. The stainless model was nice, had the features I like, large loop, shorter barrel, peep sight. And I think they are priced right. The $3500 wood version was a looker for sure, but didn’t do anything for me to receive that price tag. There were a couple other things that I gave up waiting for. 
 

I did get to meet Roger Raglin who I loved watching growing up as a kid! 
 

Also got to meet Barry Wensel. Been trying to find some of Barry and Gene’s books after I think @Shug had mentioned them one day. Been interested in their stuff since. So it was nice to finally meet Barry and chat for a little while.

I’ve seen Gene’s book Hunting Rutting Whitetails going for as much as $150😳

I was there yesterday. Yes it was crowded but I didn’t think much worse than any other year I went during the week. We usually go on Friday but decided to try a weekend day this year. 
 

We always park offsite at the Harrisburg Flea Market parking lot and take the shuttle bus to the show. I thought the lot was less crowded and was easy to get in and out. 
 

Picked up a few things. Got a set of Bantam Youth Binos by Vortex. Been looking at these for bowhunting. Small and light. $63. Also bought a set of Tethrd saddle bags to replace the dump pouches I currently have. 
 

It was a good day out.

They were in the archery area on the right side. 

[hostak126]

What were the prices on 9mm looking like?

@hammer4reel Not sure if true for this year, but years past they set up in Lancaster Archery’s booth. 

[Devil Horns]

My buddy got 1000 rds of 9mm Blazer for $245

[hammer4reel]

Hoping to get (2) 30” iron man targets there .

shipping on them is ridiculous.

They have a booth as well hoping Lancaster is selling them there

Here is the flyer for off site parking at show

Big Shot is in Elverson, PA. Might be worth just stopping there and picking them up rather than carrying 30” targets around the show.

I parked at the Elmerton lot.
