A new show for the area. August 21-22 Looks like RK Shows and Bill Goodman have competition.

$7 entry $1 off coupon at the link above.

Anyone ever go to one of these shows: Smoky Mountain Gun and knife Shows, now known as Great American Productions?

Are they any good? Worth the effort?

[Westwindmike]

Aren't they the ones that put on the really small shows in Lebanon and Murfreesboro(Armory)?

Not very good from what I've heard.

if they would spend a little money for billboards and tv time.but as it is no one will know about it .i have set up at 5 of there shows lost money at every one.

[Guest HvyMtl]

Ouch. Well. I had hoped for a better show than Goodman's or RK. I think I will still check it out, as I have never been to the location, even tho I am a native Nashvillian.

dlm37015, what do you sell at the shows?

[dlm37015]

reloading supplies

[Guest HvyMtl]

I think I will give it a shot tomorrow, see if they can put a show together or not...

[MacGyver]

Report back, HvlMtl. I'm interested in Sunday afternoon if it's worth the time.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

I think I might go, too. Off the weekend

If the quality of the show where ever it is being held is as worthless as their web site, then it is a sure bet that I am wasting 65 miles of driving plus my entry fee.

I do hope they do earn enough to sen an employee to webmaster class.

According to studies, one has 7 secounds to supply some useful information on a web siteand without effort looking all around all of the "links" I found diddly-squat.

I have to go to pick up something of mine from a dealer, but sure hope I cn get him on the phone and avoid money to get something of mine back.

If I am in the area I may just go to Bellshire and pick up something they have for me and avoid wasted time.

Well, I'll be in the neighborhood anyway (church setup at 9am), so I'll probably stop in tomorrow...

Think I might bring a couple "things" with me, actually...

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Today is screwed up. Tomorrow looks good. I will

[Defender]

I went. I thought it was good. I bought a couple cheap holsters and a couple ball caps for cheap, lol. Saw some good gun prices and some high also. Overall, a great show.

Good show compared to the last Goodman and RK I have been to.

My complaints: Poor lighting. It is a bit sad to have to use flashlights to see items. Really tight space- hard to walk through.

Compliments: Seemed to have more vendors than RK or Goodman. Good parking. People running it are friendly. Curious as to how I heard about the place and their website.

Wish there was more mil surp there, but what you gonna do?

[gr8smiles]

My 1st show in years...walked away with a nickel Smith snubbie...model 36, no dash...showed the guy he had the wrong box for it and saved 100:)

Going back tomorrow after doing some homework tonight...got my eyes on a couple items...

[Steelharp]

It was good. Glad to see a couple old friends. It wasn't as productive as I had hoped... came home with what I took down there...

[56FordGuy]

Did it seem like there was a lot of buying/ trading happening, or was it slow?

[Guest G-Pa Glynn]

Agree with HvyMtl, lighting sucked, but over all a good show. Nothing came home with me though.

[gr8smiles]

What are the hours tomorrow? Thanks

[56FordGuy]

I went today. Going in, I didn't expect much. I was pleasantly surprised. My two complaints are like the others said, the aisles were small and the lighting could've been better. I used a flashlight to look at some stuff in part of the building. The Gutter Guard people and someone selling some kind of blue stuff were there, but they were off to the side in a separate room. I think there may have been another non- gun related dealer there, but I'm not sure. I'd say better than 95% of the vendors were gun related.

Overall, I liked it better than the last Murfreesboro show I went to. A couple of dollars cheaper to get in, and closer to those of us north of Nashville. I'd probably go back if they had another one there.
