Pintail Point
Queenstown, MD

Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday September 25th, 26th, 27th & 28th - 2008

For those of you who could not make the show...Here are some pictures to show what you missed! Pintail Point Venue was damp...in fact Thursday was a veritable monsoon.  Friday was dry and overcast but warm. I had to leave Friday afternoon due to some family obligations. Unfortunately, I have no pictures from this years banquet.

All pictures shown here are available upon request in full resolution. I welcome requests from individuals for copies of pictures and will gladly send reasonable numbers of high resolution versions via email (they are big around 3 to 5M). Print publications are also welcome to request high resolution versions for publication so long as appropriate credits to "doublegunshop.com" are included upon publication.

(This page was complete as of 10/??/08)

As usual...the show was way fun...Lots of nice people and guns too!

Next year 2009! PinTail Point Maryland again! ...you should all attend!
Make your reservations early!

HELP...I am looking for titles to finish the page...I will add them as time permits...Lots of pix and so little time...plus I am having even more trouble with remembering names...
I keep meeting more and more interesting people at this show.
If I mess up any names, spellings or titles drop me a note at:
