Has anybody been to this show is it worth the time or should I just hold off for the 1500?

If you're local go to it. It's only $5 entry with free parking and you may find that part or piece you've been wanting.

Just found out it's in the Witham Health Services Pavilion, not the Farm Bureau Community Building like the May show. Bigger building, better lit.

I'm going! The crowds will be much less brutal than the 1500.

I have replied to a previous post - regarding the show in Lebanon at the fairgrounds. It is normally a pretty good show. Obviously does not have the number of vendors that the 1500 has, but a good show never the less. Gun prices are usually a little better than the Indy show, ammo may be a little higher. Cost to attend is usually $5 with Free parking - Food and drinks usually pretty good and about a third of the Indy prices. Well worth the time in my opinion. Total cost to attend even figuring gas from Indy is probably less than attending 1500 - and a lot less crowded.

Wow, just wow. Busiest I've ever seen it, absolutely packed. Good selection if you're shopping for an $2500 AR or $2000 AK; I even saw a NDS-3 homebuild with a welded FSB for $2400. Yeah, right.

Everybody's bringing out their guns to sell, regardless of if anyone wants them or not. Tons of little polymer pistols, random muzzle loaders, lever actions, etc.

There were a few good deals on bolt actions, since they're not as evil, and a new Stevens tactical shotgun that looked tempting. Not much in the way of good gear, mostly NC Star cr@p and super-inflated mags.

I pulled the trigger on a $350 9mm EAA Witness myself...
