Kudos to Hank and Susie for putting together a great Ruger show and to all those who took the time to come and display.
Much nicer show than Tulsa last fall

Absolutely top-notch! Congrats to all.

Great work with the camera and cudos again Hank...except for that cainsawed face in the Stetson near the end a real nice looking lot...A fun and worthwhile show...some nice things followed me home and sometime this year I might show them to She Who Will Be Obeyed....G

Great displays. Sorry I missed it. I especially like the "not so ordinarily seen" displays like the Triggs, center-fire pistols, Kelly, ect. I could be mistaken but I think this is either the 24th or 25th year for Kelly to represent SR& Co. She was hired by Tom Ruger. Congratulations to Steveruger for putting all those engraved guns out. I didn't see a 2nd class showing in the group. Good job, Hank.

I agree, those are some fine looking displays, and LOTS of time and work went into them......thanks for sharing with us out here in the midwest and back east...one of the reasons they ( the RCA) tried to have the sanctioned shows spread out, so MORE folks can get a chance to "partake" get involved and share, in various locations,,,tough to travel across the country with all that hardware!! :wink:

'rugerguy',
Don't know what you're talk'n about - travel clear across the whole U.S. of A. just to set up at a Ruger show? :shock:
Why, I know of at least one road weary Ruger 'nut' who's been known to drive from Ca. clear across the whole U.S. of A. to set up a display at a show in Pa.!

Many Thanks to the All Fine Host's From Idaho! Looking forward to next year!

Bump for Hank.
