We had 3 fellers fly in with their company plane to the airport in Ennis. I picked them up and took them back to the airport.
Shooter 13, if you fly into Ennis I will pick you up.

I am gonna make the trek one of these years, just to get the “T Shirt” and can say I have been.

 

[Beiruty]

I will be there

I have been attending this event for more than a decade, and it is better than any gun show. Primers and powder in every variety. Everyone is friendly and honest. I have never been "stung" buying anything here, like I have been at gun shows.

Every year I go through and clean out the gun room, and even throw in a few non-gun items (sold a smoking pipe last year). On average, I've brought home $800 CASH. Almost always sell out. Buyers get great bargains and I have less clutter.

If nothing else, come for the incredible hospitality. All you can eat fresh hot doughnuts and coffee in the morning, and for lunch the best Frito chili pie you ever et , made from scratch by employees wives. All complimentary!

Thank you Shilen Rifles!

 

[Will Henry]

I'll be travelling through about a month too early. Maybe another year. WH

It's always a lot of fun. I end up spending too much money. Been showing up for it since the first one.
