Hey Saturday Knob Creek goers....

[Cerberus]

Feel like a meet and greet? How does 2pm near the far end of the big open vendor shed? That is the big one right across from the range/gun shop. Suggestions welcome, so long as the time ain't noon in front of the Copes Dist. booth.

Is there a fee or anything to get in and just watch throughout the day?

The last time I went (a couple of yrs. ago) it was $10 dollars to get in.

Just looked it up. Me and a few friends may come down. I'll post back here if it's official, and we could make the meet and greet.

I'm thinking of going...Never been before. Out of curiosity how big is the vendor/shopping area? Is it as big as the 1500? Thanks

Dont expect to find many modern firearms. Its almost all surplus, ammo, NFA, and military style gear. And its freaking huge.

I think it's still $10 to get in. While the vendors is not as big as the NGD show here in Louisville, there is much more to gaze upon, and a lot less disappointing than most of the gunshows I've ever been too. Most vendors are there to sell stuff instead of just show off old fancy guns.

Unless someone comes up with a better meeting place and time, until something else is decided, I think at around 2 pm I'll go hang out at the above mentioned spot with my INGO patch on my multicam hat.

But if you're looking for AR uppers they are there by the boat load. There will be a dozen vendors with scores of all types of barrel lengths, styles (flat top, carry handle, etc.) blue or stainless, etc. I also got a great deal on an EOtech red dot. You'll marvel at the number of vendors who have bucket loads of parts for ARs, M1s, AKs and the like. Take plenty of cash and plan on having your ear plugs in so you can shop in semi-peace while the 50s are going off on the firing line 100' away.

There will be several of us down there Saturday but I will be lucky to be there by 2. Have to work until 12:30 Saturday

is there anything going on Friday??

 

[Gunaria]

It's all about Friday!

 

[Clay]

It's all about Friday!

???? I've never been, but Im thinking about going, and Friday would be the only day I could go...... so what do you mean?

 

[Birds Away]

I am going with my brother and a couple friends. We will arrive Friday evening. None of us have ever been so it should be interesting. Might be a good time for me to invest in some electronic hearing protection. Might come in handy.

 

[TheRude1]

Change of work schedule for sat so I can go now

And sun already planned to install a motor for a friend, gonna miis another one

But got the brother nlaw going with a list for me so Ill still be getting some stuff

For me, Friday is the best day to go. Smaller crowd, better parking, limited items can be bought before the onslaught of Saturday.

Clay, since you have never been, it is a great experience. Seems to me that it's smaller than before, fewer MG's on the line but still bigger and badder than the 1500. I'm sure that the economy, ammo and gas prices are hindering attendance.

I've never been there. Bustin my cherry tomorrow. Just figured it would be better on a Friday than on a weekend day. I'm hoping to get on some deals and to be able to actually move thru the crowd verses just being pushed thru it.

 

[Fordtough25]

Saturday is a zoo for sure but fun as can be! I've gone on Saturday every time, always have to work on Friday. There's large crowds for sure but you can get around to everything ok, plenty to see. If you're into machine guns, ar's, well anything really it's there. And only $10 to get in why now! Plus you get to watch a bunch of machie guns and other sweet rifles.

 

[gunbunnies]

I'm gonna miss the Knob this year, been there quite a few times and have always enjoyed the trip... Very worth the time and price of admission to atleast see it once... Live fire range, and gunshow plus good food inside the building... Decent deals if there are any to be found and all the strange stuff and reloading supplies and ammo you can shake a stick at... Waste a little money on the helicopter ride, it's cool and don't forget to go down to the lower range and rent a machinegun... lob some rounds down range...

Also, you need to be there on saturday, it's the best day to attend and you want to stay till the end as they have a tracer show that isn't experienced many other places.. Enjoy... I will miss attending this one...

I worked the Friends of the NRA booth last year. Really interesting mixture of people that attend. I won an AR 15 on a $20 raffle as well, so I have absolutely no complaints! Not working the booth this time, but may still be in attendance in an attempt to sell my Saiga 12.
