I'm planning on going to the Bloomington one later this month (19th & 20th) since is really close to where i live. Though, I'm not sure what to expect. I'm used to the enormous gun shows in Fort Worth Texas, and I'll probably be very disappointed. Anyone been to the Bloomington one and have any insight about go or no-go?
Yes, I saw that too Expat. That happened a couple of years ago too and it was really cool going to 2 shows; one almost right across the street from the other. I'll be there this year too.
It's limited by the size of the venue, probably around 100 tables. I'm not sure who is booked for it, but there is usually a variety of merchandise. I'd guess that there will be around 35-40 tables of guns. The rest will be mostly magazines, ammunition, reloading supplies, knives, etc.
I'd like to know too. Looking for something to do to get out of the house tomorrow. I have heard some people say it's not worth the effort, but I've never been to that one. If it's craptastic, I'd rather find something more local to do.
190 tables this weekend. A little light on guns with a couple regulars not there, I'd guess around 55-65 tables of firearms. Lots of AR parts and accessories. Several vendors with ammunition and knives. Decent selection of magazines, reloading supplies, targets and optics. Not a lot of new guns, more used guns at this show.

Anyone go to the show at Boot City in Terre Haute today and if so how was it?
I went today, and I would guess it's about 75 tables. About 1/3 of that are actual guns, the rest is ammo, brass, reloading supplies. One T-shirt vendor. It's pretty small. Lots of people crammed into a small space with barely enough space to walk in two directions between tables.
Your guess is a little off, it's a little over 125 tables. I'd say the rest of your assessment is accurate, but I'd add that there are a lot of magazines as well.
This was awful. Same as Martinsville. Very few tables. 15 maybe with 8 of them having any firearms. I am probably going to ignore straight shooters for a while.
Since the before the pandemic the 1500 has gotten progressively worse. I keep going hoping it will start getting better but it only gets worse. They should change the name of it to the 1500 Nut & Knife Show.
