Anyone ever been to one of these?
Can I make it through 2,000 tables in only 1 day?

Nevermind. I figured it out. For an 8 hour show I can spend 30 seconds at each table

It is hard to see everything even in a 500 table show in a day. But with some selective visual screening, you can move between the tables looking for what you might want pretty fast. Make a wish list.

Do you have any other info on the show? I work in(and live not far from) the Atlanta area, but this is the first I've heard of this show.

I went to the last one at the end of January. It was a good show IMO but to get to 2000 tables they might have counted some of concession stand tables where you could get mustard for your hot dog. There was plenty to look at (IMO) and the aisles were wide enough you didn't have to get hung up in traffic jams.

I got my fill and spent my money in about 3 hours.

The 2009 Shot Show held in Orlando this past Jan. 15-18 was hugh also. You needed a shopping cart just for the free catalogs, gun magazines and spec. books on the new guns.
According to preliminary figures, this year's show attracted 25,384 attendees, 22,098 exhibiting personnel and a record 1,425 members of the media for a total attendance of 48,907.

Says 2000 tables Available. I wonder how many are sold? Even 500 would be ahelluva show!

The RK shows in Knoxville TN aren't bad. I believe they have bought out a couple of local show producers in TN (Bob Pope & Mike Holloway). Correct me if I'm wrong.

A 2000 table show is about the same as National Gun Day in Louisville KY held three times a year. It has probably been the best show east of the Mississippi for the last 10 years.

I went to the last one there also. I don't think they had 2000 tables though there is room for them. The Expo Center is an old Richway Store if you remember them. They went out of business around the late 80's I think. The 2 shows I have been to there had a pretty good variety of stuff. Plenty to see and a lot of people there looking.
