area-nashville Upcoming Parsons and Dickson shows...any good?

The next 2 weekends... how are they compared to Murfreesboro/Franklin/Lebanon?

I went to the Parsons show a couple of times a few years ago. Small, over priced and not worth the trip. I've never bothered going back. 

However, bear in mind that shows have been shut down for a long time due to covid. Some interesting stuff might show up. But I'll also bet that prices will be crazy.

If you go, give us a report.

I live in Dickson and usually go to the show here.  It is sometimes a bit of a letdown, but last one was pretty good.  

Two buildings usually packed.  I imagine a good turnout.

I might swim out to Dickson from west Nashville today or tomorrow. It’s raining like hell right now.

I live in just up the road from the fairgrounds in Dickson but really don’t want to get out in the weather. May try in the morning.

I went yesterday (Sat) and there was a fair display of weapons and some ammo.  Not the deals on ammo that I was hoping for, but don't know if those days will be back anytime soon.  At least there was ammo there.

Huge turn out in attendance.

I was there for a while this morning I was a little surprised by the number of guns on the tables was not expecting that many. I also handle a shield plus performance center. Was hoping to find a standard shield plus no one had them.

I've literally stopped buying ammo for the last 10 years. Are gun shows more reliable to get ammo and do people have any issues buying reloads from show vendors nowadays? What can I expect to pay as a fair price (not what I'd like to pay but a current fair market price) for reloads of:
