Jent P.:
Mia culpa. I forgot to specify "registered shooters" as an exception to the gate fee... which I, for one, consider chicken feed compared to the per-event ticket cost of ANY professional sports event in the US. Not to mention those delicious pig snout hot dogs you get to eat once you're in. Once a year, for the good of shooting sport, I don't mind a whit forking over a $20... or signing up to shoot, or joining Vintagers, or compensating Game Fair. It's difficult to escape Denny's for under $20.

By the way, this year's UK Game Fair entry is 29 pounds at the gate. Roughly $52 US. Any "common man" takers for that? About 200,000 Brits will go it.

Best, Kensal
