    Default Rochester sportsman show?

    What a complete waste of ten bucks that was? Don't bother going unless your real big into Archery or booking a charter or a hunting trip~~~someplace/anyplace? or if you want Bathfitter to rehab your bathroom or Everdry to keep your basement dry, or if you want to mow your lawn fast?

    We saw the whole show in 45 minutes, and that was with me walking with a limp and a cane.

    On top of that, everyone was asking for donations, I did give to S.C.O.P.E.(Shooters Committee on Political Education)

    If your going to go, don't expect to much, I was supremely disappointed

    Manufactures don't have a ammo shortage
    They have a serious surplus of customers

    Thanks for the heads up. I was thinking of making the long trek up 390.

    Any feedback on the Erie County show this weekend ?

    This is the first year of new ownership and I know in the past it hasnt been much. I guess they are trying to make it a true sportsman show but it is going to take time.

    Like you said though, I wouldnt waste the money right now.

    I hope this is not a common occurence with these shows. I'm new to the firearms game and went to the gunshow in Clarence, $5 to get in , supposed to be 100 tables and there was like 20. I brought $ and was hoping to pick up a used shotgun but there was hardley any firearms there at all. Mostly civil war colectables and ammo.

    THIS show was suppose to be a "sportsman" show. There was a lot of Charter fishing guides and even a couple of Hunting excursions to Montana to hunt Elk and LOTS of Archery guys

    There was ONE Glock firearms guy and a couple of guys either selling or giving away a few AR style weapons.

    But I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Bathfitter (not) and getting ambushed by the Everdry basement guys (not)

    The Lazer lawn care guys were nice and I do like there marketing ploy.........mow less, Hunt and fish more

    But I don't know to many people that can spend $6000 on a Lawn mower simply for residential applications. Unless they are mowing every lawn in the neighborhood. LOL

    On the other hand the Rochester GUN show is quite good. LOTs of guns, ammo and accessories
