The show was very good. I noticed that there were not as many $100k plus guns in the hall as there have been in the past....
As well, this is a show you need to take your time with and carefully review each table because typically the quality and price points are high. A couple of my buddies walked right past Kermit Roosevelt's Parker VHE 20ga . Sitting with that gun was some Roosevelt ephemera and Teddy's Bowie knife which recently sold at $400k+ publicly.
A good friend of mine is another gentleman who collects skeet guns- he was walking out of the show and I bumped in to him on my way back in to the show from a stop back at the Julia booth. He expressed disappointment in the show but he walked right past the best pair of DHE skeets I've seen in a long time. I brought him over to show him the guns, introduced him to the seller and a deal was made shortly thereafter!
