Even though it's out of state it's only 35 miles away so I went down to the gun show that is being held this weekend at the Frederick Fairgrounds. I hadn't been down since before the pandemic so I decided that today I would go down.
I didn't see much in the way of the vintage guns that usually interest me. I don't think I saw a Luger in the place. Wood stocked guns appeared to be relatively scarce.
But I did find something that I am hoping fills a current need. My old black wooden pistol box that I bought 30+ years ago seems to have put on a little weight, and with my locomotion/balance issues others at the club .22 league have worried about me and started carrying my box for me. I appreciate their doing it, but it doesn't help if I'm at the range by myself. It turned out there was a gentleman at the gun show with a large and varied inventory of soft range bags, and I found a large one that I think will resolve my problem. So I think now that the big old black box will be the mobile storage box to ride in the car trunk and the new tan range bag will be the container to carry to the firing line with whatever I need immediately to shoot a particular match. So all in all it looks like it was a worthwhile trip.

Used to be a old guy in Frederick that always set up in the back and sold all sizes of orange target dots, he still there??
