I remember the year you came, Toby, and enjoyed talking with you and seeing your finely restored guns. I understand the costs involved for you to travel across the big pond to a show like this, and I did not know the cost was that high for a booth at Rick's. But, I find myself wondering a bit at your statement about that $1000 subsidizing Joe Public's shooting. I think the event registration fees of, basically, one dollar per bird pretty well covers the costs of shooting. I understand that there are other costs the host club has, such as the fine meals Rick always provides, etc. But, there are no NSCA fees to be paid, either. I would add that the fee you vendors pay is what covers the costs of renting the large tents provided for you to display your wares. Shooters would not need the tents were it not for vendors being there.
Is the vendor fee not the same at Deep River for the Spring Southern, or the other big events like this?
