I have a table with a friend. Usually a great show to meet AO members and catch up a bit after a long long winter.

Where is this show?

wwbirds · #12 03-29-2018, 09:37 AM

Used to be the Big 4 building but perhaps it is called the BMO centre now? parking is expensive at $15 a day.

That's probably one of the better reasons to visit Calgary, but.....no.

Close. Big 4 building is still the Big 4 building. The BMO Centre where the show is held used to be called the Roundup Centre until they monetized the name.

It’s the largest firearms show in Canada. Takes up the main hall that they hold the auto show in (admittedly the auto show spills into another hall, but your legs do get tired at the event because there’s just that much walking to be done up and down the aisles and back again.

friend was asking about building name last night and I wasn't sure what that building was called as I dont think I have entered by front entrance as always go to back exhibitors doors to get my pass and load and unload stuff from truck. it is definitely a big room and after set up takes me 2 hours to make one circuit to see everything and then go around later a few times to see what I missed on first circuit.

Looking forward to it!

In before the complaints about overpriced stuff there

One of the best things about the show are the good discounts offered at the local gun shops timed to coincide with it and the buying mood that it gets people into.
