Just one word of warning that some might consider "political correctness". Most of the things at Knob Creek would probably considered be fairly normal for people in the US who are into shooting and military history. However, that doesn't mean that some folks don't go a bit farther than you might consider tasteful.

When I met Peter (Steel Fan), who is from the UK, he seemed taken back by some booths selling Nazi paraphernalia, and there's some guy who I've seen at several of the shows who wears what looks like a waffen uniform (I don't know if he's a reenactor or just some sort of nut, and it hasn't mattered enough to me to ask). Of course, if I tell most people how much I've spent on knives and swords, they think I'm some sort of nut.

In Europe, people react way differently to the Nazi-thing than, "Don't look or talk to them; it'll just encourage them." Anyway, just be aware that a minority of the folks who attend Knob Creek may push freedom of speech harder than would be appropriate in polite society. Nothing X-rated mind you, but there are some who just push limits in a very right-wing sort of way, so if you you have younger kids and bring the whole family, you might have some explaining to do.
