I was just thinking something related to this stuff yesterday at the Vintage Cup at Hopkins Game Farm in Maryland. The whole thing was a pale imitation of how they used to be. Far fewer dealers, temperatures way too hot for Edwardian dress, no possibility of walking around to watch the shooters. The dealers who were there had lots of beautiful guns but I suspect that buyers were absent. I felt a bit sorry for them. Hard to believe. Kirby Hoyt must have had millions of dollars of stock laid out, A for effort. But where were the buyers? I hope they showed up after I left. More OUs than previously, not my thing, too clunky and heavy but to each his own. Saw a pair of McKayBrowns that fit me perfectly. I really wanted them but since I have zero use for a pair I passed. Also of course I need the 50K for a couple of other little things right now.
