The Random Ramblings Of An Airgun Addict

It has been over a week since my last blog and what a busy week it was! I was gone for business for the better part of the week and the rest of the week was spent catching up. It is too bad that work has to get in the way of my fun! That's all behind me now and now I have a chance to reflect on the Little Rock Airgun Expo.

For the first time in my life I actually bought a table at a show and sold off a bunch of stuff that I had accumulated over the years. It was a very interesting experience for me, I looked at the show much like a garage sale in that most of the stuff I had for sale was priced to move. I really didn't think that I would sell a lot of it but it turned out that I sold a lot more than I expected. The things that suprised me were the old airgun magazines that I had from the mid 90's on. They sold to some of the other dealers even before the show officially opened!

I had five airguns that I took to sell and I was able to sell all of them expect for my Air Arms s410 which I traded for an old FWB150 that was in very good shape. I recently bought a FWB300 which I had been enjoying shooting and saw several of the 150s at the show and thought it would be fun to have one of these as well and made a pretty good deal on the trade.

Being at a show like this can be dangerous if you are trying to save money or if you are trying to not buy more stuff. I went into the show to sell off a bunch of airgun things and make some room in my cluttered closet and ended up spending some of my profits on more gear. I hadn't planned on it but I ended up buying another Paul Watts trigger Rekord trigger blade, a FWB124 piston seal, a subscription to Airgun Hobby magazine and a few other nick nacks. I even bought a couple of nice necklaces for my wife from Wade Sutherland. There was certainly a lot of eye candy at the show and lots of old interesting airguns.

The best part of the show was talking with all my fellow airgunning friends. It was really interesting sitting behind a table and watching everyone look through the gear on my table and talking with them about my site, airguns, field target and a whole host of other things. It was a great experience for me and one that I thouroghly enjoyed.
