27th Annual Gun Show a "big success!"

The PTC Shooters Association and gunsmithing students hosted and sponsored the 27th Annual Gun Show this past weekend. More than 2,000 were in attendance to buy, trade and collect firearms, knives and wildlife artwork from the more than 80 vendors displaying across 150 stations.

"I've been coming to this event every year since 1992," says Robert Herschel of St. Paul. "I don't miss it! There's always something new to see and touch that gets my interest," Herschel adds.

Dave Defenbaugh, PTC Gunsmithing Instructor and Advisor to the Shooters Association, says more than half the total of vendors at this year's event have already signed up and plan to return for the 28th Annual Gun Show, Feb. 26-27, 2011.

"Our Gun Show is always a big success -- every year. But, we couldn't do it without our students. Putting together this show is very labor-intensive, and they really pulled it off smooth this year," Defenbaugh says. "We have a really good crop of students in the program," Defenbaugh adds.
