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 4,100 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 less than 16 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 31st March and 1st April 2012 and if we can offer help or advice please let us know.  Telephone for a chat on 01823 662691 or email to malcolm@valefirearms.co.uk

The November 2011 was again very busy and the number of tables had yet increased again. Mark Wanenmacher - the Vice President of the Show is always at hand on site, and is a very friendly and helpful guy ( even to let you know the best places to eat). We are grateful to him for allowing us to take photos.

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

Malcolm & Thelma
