It seems as if in my area, even the city that the show is at makes a huge difference in what is there. When I go to the big cities, I see many plastic guns and few with wood that is better than a 2x4. When I get to more rural area shows, there seems to be more guns with wood that matters. NOW that I just said that, there is good stuff at the big city shows also, just not by the same percentage. Same as the knives, want a knife? Go to the big city shows. At least this is my experience in Ohio where I go.
