If you are coming to Princeton and own a good Tennessee mountain rifle, bring it along. There will be photographer there taking photos for an upcoming book on the subject.

Talked to Jerry last night. He asked me to bring 3 of my Tenn. rifles for the guy to take pictures of.

Wish I could go... far as I'm concerned it's the best show I've ever been to. Great people and lot's of good stuff.

The Days Inn is at I-80 and Rt. 26 at Princeton. South of I-80 on the west side of RT. 26. Easy to find.

I had hoped to attend but will not be able to make it. It sounds like a nice show and a great way to meet some of the people from here face to face.

It opens Friday morning around nine and stays open as long as there are still people in the room. Sat it runs all day also but the crowd starts clearing out around two or so. A few of us old timers stay later. NO Sunday show. JIM

Mike Brooks · « **Reply #20 on:** February 27, 2016, 04:06:39 PM »

Excellent show. Wish I could have stayed longer.

Buck · « **Reply #21 on:** February 28, 2016, 01:27:53 AM »

It was a good time. JDM brought his 2 sons and I lost my "youngest man" position.

gibster · « **Reply #22 on:** February 28, 2016, 06:51:21 AM »

Just got back from Princeton. Great show as always. Always quality guns to look at and learn from and plenty of knowledgeable folks that are willing to share there thoughts with you.
