chris327 30 Posted March 6, 2012 Has anyone gone to the split rock pa show our the allentown rodeway inn show? Which is better to go to? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiPop33 2 Posted March 6, 2012 I've been to eagle arms gun shows who are holding the next split rock show and they are usually pretty good. I've never been to the Allentown show so I can't compare but I would recommend the eagle arms shows Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Mack 5 Posted March 6, 2012 So how are out of state shows? I'v never been to one. Can you even buy firearms there (jersey legal of course)? how about ammo? Sorry not trying to hijack this thread, but i was considering going to one of these two if i could come home with some goodies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris327 30 Posted March 6, 2012 You can buy long guns nj legal and take them home. Ammo is fine. Pistols must be shipped to ffl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Mack 5 Posted March 6, 2012 I figured thats how it would work. I didn't want to make the trip if all i could do was look around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mipafox 438 Posted March 6, 2012 Never been to Split Rock. Rodeway Inn or whatever it is called now is good. It's not large. I'd say it's half the size of Forks of the Delaware and half the size (by table count) of an Eagle Oaks show (half hall). It's not small, it's probably 2-3x the size of a firehall show. If you go PM me. I will most likely go. Maybe we can meet at the show, have lunch if there is time, and go set something on fire and/or shoot at it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1125 0 Posted March 6, 2012 I have been to both. The Rodeway Inn show is a small show that is held in a large conference room. The Split Rock show is much larger and held at a resort in the Poconos. Naturally there is a better selection and more to offer at Split Rock. 1125 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris327 30 Posted March 6, 2012 Might way and go to split rock if its that much bigger. Or if I go to allentown go to cabelas after. Gotta figure it out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
halbautomatisch 60 Posted March 6, 2012 Splitrock is a much better show than the Allentown (Rodeway) show - bigger and better vendors. If you what to go to a show and then Cabela's, consider going to Harrisburg (March 17-18). It's a long drive, but it's a big show, the March show is the best of the year, and you will pass Cabela's on the way (if coming from North Jersey).

Pizza Bob 1,488 Posted March 6, 2012 Both shows mentioned are Eagle Arms shows, so many of the vendors will be the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris327 30 Posted March 6, 2012 Including the harrisburg show which is the largest and best vendors. I can only make 1 of them so I need to choose wisely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
halbautomatisch 60 Posted March 7, 2012 Including the harrisburg show which is the largest and best vendors. I can only make 1 of them so I need to choose wisely. Harrisburg is a MAAC show, not Eagle, but it was the biggest and best around for a long time. Now, I would have to say the Oaks show is challenging them for that title.

halbautomatisch 60 Posted March 7, 2012 Both shows mentioned are Eagle Arms shows, so many of the vendors will be the same. Yes, but Splitrock will have many more vendors and the vendors that are the same will have more tables. Splitrock is 700 or so tables, Allentown is (supposedly) 250 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petros600 12 Posted March 8, 2012 I go to the Allentown show for couple vendors only and only if I talk to them before the show and they have something that i will be interested. Split rock, is bigger with 2-3x times the tables than the Allentown show So far seems to me that the Oaks is the must go show for NJ people, just make sure you go there early.
