It's always a good idea to see a gunmaker's work "in the flesh" if possible. 

I rarely miss Dixon's Gunmakers Fairalways the last weekend in July, located in Kempton, PA.  I often make the NMLRA spring shoot at Friendship, Indiana.  This is usually in the middle of June.  Occasionally I have a table at the Contemporary Longrifle Association show at Lexington, KY.  This is held at the end of August.  Of course, you can always visit me at home if you're in the area.
