I spent 10 days in Las Vegas with my wife and same friends, one of theme was Pinco Palla there on the forum.
I'm fall in love.... for Nevada, Arizona and California ( Death Valley )...... beautiful places to see, open spaces, I saw Death Valley, I walked a lot from Golden canyon to Zabrieski Point, back with the dark... was an experience, silence and the moon as a witness.... the temperature was fine, never above 60... difficult to describe all my sensations and emotions... you are luky USA friends....
Pinco Palla knows a lot of people, thanks to him I had the opportunity to be present to some special occasions like the Ashbury Pre Shot Show, a fire demonstration with Desert Tactical Arms, a Elite Defence party and more...
Special thanks to the owners of the above..... very friendly people, I meet Frank, and PP has planned with him a training course with him in Italy..... probably in spring... good !!

Some pictures and videos at APO, where I meet Taylor and Chris... it was a pleasure to have both as a spotters when I tested Ashbury rifles... ( more pictures will came from PP' camera )
The new FDAC is a perfect toll.....

Had I known you guys would be there this year, and that I could have practiced my French and learned some Italian, I would have taken vacation time to spend a week in Nevada. Hopefully next year there will be a more visible Michigan contingent - that is, if Frank will admit to knowing me in public and let me sweep up the garbage in the SH booth.

Glad you had a great time at SHOT & met with some nice hospitality...I recall the pics PP once posted or your ranges in Italy (and his kit) and being pretty jealous. If you like to run - come on back to Badwater for the Badwater Ultramarathon in July - 135 miles in 130 degrees, no IV's allowed.
 
Re: First time in Las Vegas.. Shot Show and more...

thanks guys...... if somebody of you want to organize a trip to Italy me,PP and other friends will be glad to return same hospitality... but just in case try to stay all together..
mmmmmmm for the marathon.... never say never...
