2022 Banquet

[Randy Roberts]

Has anyone been attending the Louisville show on a regular basis ? If so I would like to hear your comments on attendance and exhibitors. I used to go regularly but over the years the show has declined IMO and does not seem to hold much interest for me. Now I see that the upcoming October show has been moved to a wing with "less space" per the promoter. Makes me wonder if this was done as a result of a conflict with the fair grounds and scheduling or have even more exhibitors bowed out. Sad really as this used to be one of the best shows in the country IMO.

If my memory is correct, there were 76 in attendance at the Annual Banquet held in 2017 in Las Vegas. There are many PGCA members that attend the Las Vegas Antique Firearms show every year and having the banquet there would bring out even more members.
Also, I analyzed the current PGCA membership roster using only USA members and determined that 28.9% of the listed members live west of the Mississippi River. As I can recall, the 2017 banquet was the only one ever held west of the Mississippi River. I agree with Phil that I think it would be appropriate to entertain the idea of having the banquet out west every 5 years or so.

I’ve been there one time only and that was this past June . I’ve been to Koneski Acres twice . I like the courses and the shooting more at Rock Mountain but I gotta say a lot more vendors at Hausemann’s .
