We will give below as much information as possible, and should you have an interest in attending one of the Shows – we would be pleased to help with arrangements, advice, flights, accommodation and anything else.

The Show has only guns and gun related tables – no “car boot” stuff!! There are normally about 3,900 tables and the show opening times are Saturday 8.00 am to 6.00 pm and on Sunday 8.00 am to 4.00 pm.

You have to be selective – if you are not interested in something in particular – walk past – you only have 22 seconds per table if you view them all.  It sounds horrendous, but really not that bad.  We manage to see all the tables with our interests, and manage to go back a second time and still be relaxed.

At this point here is a link to the Show – it would be a good idea to have a look to put it all into perspective.www.tulsaarmsshow.com Have a look at the pictures to see the size of the Show.

Accommodation – we always use “The Best Western Airport Hotel” just a few miles from the airport (5 or 6), and a short distance from the Show and we highly recommend it.

Have a look at their website www.bestwesterntulsaairport.com. The hotel is very comfortable and there is a free shuttle service to collect you and return you to the airport.  Getting to the Show is no problem – the hotel being quite full with Americans from most States going to the Show – a really friendly and welcoming crowd.

 A complimentary breakfast allows you to meet all the guys and as soon as they hear your English voice you are drawn into their conversation. The owners of the Hotel are very helpful and friendly, and the manager “Misty Jones” is one very helpful, friendly and courteous lady.

Flights – from wherever you fly, first landing is normally the hub in Chicago, and then a  smaller plane to take you down to Tulsa.  We are available for help and advice on the “flying element” – hopefully to make your entry into The States a relaxing one.

The next Show is 13th and 14th November 2010 and if we can help in any way please let us know.  Telephone for a chat on 01823 662691 or email to malcolm@valefirearms.co.uk

The April 2010 Show was a great success and some 35,000 visitors came to the show. If you are thinking of coming in November - please book your hotel early. The Best Western was fully booked with Show visitors from all over the United States and I know Misty had to turn some UK visitors away. On first day the Show was packed - a lot of buyers a little worried about possible legislation but on the second day the Show was a little quieter and we were able to have enough space to take a couple of photographs (thank you Mark Wanenmacher for the permission to take them)

Really hope you will join us in a celebration of guns past and present.

Malcolm & Thelma
