    9 mike mike fan, I believe that the INGO booth is for the 1500 3 day show to get the most exposure for the buck.

    Will be going sunday & taking the Nephew , who is now 15 and asked to go. I told him i would gladly pay admission, but if he wants to buy all the stuff that aint guns & ammo, he needs to bring his own money! The smart butt said he has plenty from mowing my and his grandpas lawns all summer!

    Just got done with show.
    Was not crowded as I used to remember.
    Good parking space, wide aisles and gun stuff.
    Some of the dealers were complaining, but I saw some sales going on.
    Good day for me.

    Picked up a New Ruger Mark 4 Standard with 6in barrel from ZX Guns for $5 less than the cheapest place I could find shipped to my dealer. Got 4k small pistol and 1k large pistol primers from the back room guy who is always in the corner for 29.98 plus tax. Got 2 lbs titegroup and 1 lbs bullseye from the powder guy in the area as soon as you walk in. Picked up plenty at Zicks and sold a 22 rifle. Seen a couple members there.

    I was definitely surprised it wasn't busier at the show too. I got a bunch of Zicks as well. Also picked up a lb of lil gun for loading my 450 bushmaster, Some targets and picked up a walther p22 for my youngest daughter.
    Talked with WaltO for a few and ran into 1775usmarine and his wife as well.

    Did anyone else notice the Thompson center Compass' and Savage axis' for sale at close to double new price for a used one?
    I was actually looking for 1 or the other to jump into 6.5 creedmor with. I had to let the guy know he was smoking crack!

    My first time at the Valpo show, but while I didn’t buy anything was happy I went. I’ll plan on going to the Valpo show from now on...great show.
