Less than Two Weeks....
on: January 05, 2010, 09:07:25 PM
It`s that time again- in less than two weeks I, and my trusty accomplice will be off to the 2010 SHOT Show in Las Vegas.  This will be my third SHOT Show, and my second in Las Vegas. 



We`ll be there from start to finish this year, and we have a dozen or so appointments with all the major manufacturers and some other companies of interest.  We will also find and visit more manufacturers along the way. 

I`m really looking forward to the show this year, as I do every year!  There are some really cool new models out this year, and I`m looking forward to handling each one so I can report back on what they are really like!

If there`s anything anyone would like me to look out for, let me know now, because soon it will be too late!

You just can't experience Vegas, unless you get thrown out of a Casino. 

Don't try and count cards at the blackjack table at the Luxor.  You'll get thrown out quicker than you can say "Mummy!" :D
