We were there Friday afternoon. We used to have a table and did quite well, till the new owners took over several years ago.

I (as well as many friends n family) used to compete in the 3d archery shoot, but since they dropped it from the show, I havent been up.
Tried contacting the new owner about having a booth (for the PPHA and possibly a call maker friend), and was shrugged as they dont want any more non profit organizations or call makers.

So be it...anyway....how was the show? I heard its not quite what it used to be.

   That is what they told me a few years ago. But, we could have had a table for 400 dollars.

Its a decent show...but $400 for a non profit is outrageous  :o

If you sign 20 members, you got your money back. And also got 20 more hunters, for hunts. Also the PPHA could right it off, If I am not mistaken.

if you signed up 20 members you would not break even, pretty sure it cannot be legally written off either, plus the way the show is run there would be some issues on running the booth.

Oh! I thought It was 20 to join, how much Is It, my dues are almost up and I need to pay them? Was this just a small sports show? Not sure about all the tax write off laws, just getting my first good pay this Thursday. Finaly got on in the mine. Thats why I didnt turn in any fur this weekend. Hope to do some good for the PA. , Ny. hunt. Plus our club here has a 10 day hunt, but not till after the 18th. In 2 other contests this weekend so I will be out.

it is 20 to join but then you have to figure postage, predator extreme mags, sticker.  not sure what we pay for all of that but it does cost money. 

on another note if you don't mind me asking, what cal did you pick for your rifle.

243 looking at the barrel twist of that model I think it will work for me. We don't have many fox so it will be a dedicated coyote gun.

that is a good choice for coyotes, i would have been tempted with the 22-250 for some reason i see that caliber in my future.
