My take on this show is simple. If I take a day off to drive there spend money on gas, admission and parking. There better be some deals there. The last four five shows have been very disapointing. I went with a pocket full of money to spend and came back with most of it. Other than what cash they stuck me up for, to get in the door.
Exxaaaacccccctttttttlllllllyyyyyyyyyy Frank. Some folks just don't get it. Same with our 10 day March Break snowmobiling-ice fishing trip every year. Wife/mom calls it quality time. dad and boy's call it there are no "no's" time.Quote:

Not coming by unless there is all kinds of free stuff and at least 75% off any archery gear. After all it is $19.00 and $12.00 parking to get in. If we don't leave the show with a truck load of swag it will have been a waste.Quote:

I will probably (if I remember in time) get the online ticket for $16 and I will be going the Saturday to be able to meet people and get info. If there are some good deals then I may be willing to open the wallet, but mainly I'm going to check out new gear and talk to people with more knowledge then myself.
There is no way I am dropping $19 to get in and I am not getting sucked in by the $3 coupon. All their other shows are $14-15 except Toronto. I guess they know Torontonians aren't the sharpest tools in the shed
I might take Fratri's advice. Give mom the day off and take the kids. It's been years since I've been there, since the days of "Bart" the bear and "Red Fisher" I'm sure.
Well I had no plans to go due to the cost of parking and cost of getting in but my girlfriend just won 2 passes on the radio and as she passed her hunting license & firearms course a couple of months ago and scored 100% on her turkey exam yesterday, looks like we will be going!
I decided to put a booth in... So looks like I wont be exploring the show a whole lot again this year.lol
ive went the last 4-5 years and what a disappointment. This is the first year I have pretty much decided not to go because the hunting section just sux!
