SHOT SHOW ROLL CALL

Re: SHOT SHOW ROLL CALL

The Team will be at the Hornady booth from 10am to Noon on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday. I will only be there on Wednesday and Thursday as I have to fly back earlier on Friday. Stop by and say Hi.
 
Re: SHOT SHOW ROLL CALL

Recon thus far:

Nascar bar (Sahara) for cheap beer is a good place to start the crawl. They got these tall 3 pitcher things for 25 bucks domestic - 34 bucks for Rogue Dead Guy. (That was the best 34 bucks I ever spent, next to Heidi's CZ ring

)

Cigar bar at C Palace was good. Hell, the people watching in this town is friggin awesome anywhere you go.

Buffet at the Hilton sucked. Still searching for good Mexican food, which is my true calling in life.

Re: SHOT SHOW ROLL CALL

Checked into Trump Tower and checked right out. Their idea of a second bed is a pull out couch. WTF?!?!?! Now checked in at Treasure Island in a room with proper beds, free internet and it was cheaper too.
 
Re: SHOT SHOW ROLL CALL

Went and walked around the show's floor today. Things are lookin good.

Re: SHOT SHOW ROLL CALL

How in the heck can I go? I will be out of the country this year however I would like to go next year if possible. Is it open to the public?
 
Re: SHOT SHOW ROLL CALL

So I learned a couple of things yesterday:

-I have no balls when it comes to gambling.

-Scott McRee is quite possibly the nicest guy in this industry. Not only does he make better stuff than the rest, he has no problem telling you exactly how and why he does what he does - with a smile on his face. (Oh, and his new stock is friggin sweet!)

-When Cheese puts it on red, do likewise. That fucker can kill it at a roulette table.

Re: SHOT SHOW ROLL CALL

Not a good place for the Show. One needs to explore the casino for an hour just to find where the show is. Yesterday, I witnessed a 390 lb middle aged man just about smash some teenager to beat him to a Camelback decal that had just been put out on a table. Largeboy was decked out in full flektarn.

The number of strategically operational tactical operators has doubled since last year. Even companies that sell hide tanning equipment have a tactical sniper section of products.

The small corridor that releases the million people at the end of the day is like a comedy act. Last night, I followed a 60-ish man in full MarPat pulling his brochures in a woodland pattern dragbag. His "uniform" was adorned with jump wings and his nametape was simply "sniper." I did not want to ask but I think it might have been Steven Hunter, because I could not see a neck.

Somehow, 2 hours goes completely missing here but I come back to my senses as I depart one of two stretch limos in front of an establishment called "spearmint" something or another. As part of a large party of just regular guys that had returned from Afghanistan to Horno and simple normal everyday Army people from NC, I found myself only somewhat entertained by some average stories. The waitresses too were sort of neat. We all got together as we departed and made a pact to not let the "f" word overcome our language skills as this has become way to popular. We decided to start an effort to bring back son-of-a-bitch.

Although it might serve to wreck your budget if you have made this venture to Nevada, that Spearmint place is worth a visit. The waitresses outnumbered the patrons about 8 to one. I found all of them very socialable, but this morning most of the lads are complaining of sore nipples.

I will try to sort it all out over the weekend but it is mostly fragmented now, the good stuff I mean. I overstayed my welcome at the ARMS booth asking all sorts of questions about getting Larue mounts, and later Mark provided me with an autographed book that I am enjoying. Stop by and see his shorty .223 The USO Optics location rates an A++ as does their products I looked at and the team+crew building they have together for the long haul. Liked the Vortex guy and his stuff as well. Was shoo'ed away trying to get my picture taken in front of the Countersniper banner. Talked to a great gun builder from Indy named Brown about M40's and a MMA fighter named Brown about 40 oz's. We both love Lyrnrd Skynyrd. Marty at Badger has some great new ideas and you can say hi to GAP George if you don't mind waiting in line for about an hour. LOL. SH HQ was close by so I was able to talk to an old friend aka Lowlight and the RO team. TAB has one of everything you really can use and I look forward to the day when 2 particular products are in grunt language and familiar like canteen. Good on ya Tony. Finally shook hands with Skipper Kickbutt. In real life he is a very thin and well groomed young man with bright red hair. I have no idea where those stories come from. Had to lowcrawl through a mass of people to get to Surefire but it was worth it. I got to meet a warrior there before some old man simply appeared between us and presented us with a hip pocket class on using the SF flashlight to examine the patina on old guns at shows. I am still wondering if that really happened. From there, I stopped to purchase a drink and turning too quickly, ran into this huge guy waiting for the restrooms. Steven Segal again. Son of a bitch.
 
Re: SHOT SHOW ROLL CALL

Today, Russ and Later decided it was a good day to give me hypothermia at the range. We took a group of guys from SF out to fool around with the DTA 338LM. I love that gun. I hate frostbite. (Not joking. There was an inch or more of snow on the ground. Texans are a tropical people. I almost died.)

+1 to Arch's statement. Plenty of douches walking around with beards, head to toe camo, and a shemagh. Half of them have a pack or ballcap with their blood type on it.

Steven Segal was hilarious.

Arch, you got shoo'd away because of me. Russ has a classic pic of me and the Counter Sniper banner. The guy looked really steamed when he realized we were giggling like school girls...

Pics and more to follow when I get back over the weekend. Arch, if you read this tonight, check your email and give me a call in the morning.
 
Re: SHOT SHOW ROLL CALL

We are back from SHOT.
A few observations:
The Sands Expo sucked. Way too many small rooms and lost customers trying to find booths.
The new lineup of just about everything was very impressive to say the least.
It was great to see Stacey at the AI booth with this huge grin on his face while he was showing off some very impressive weapons and suppressors for 2010.
Shagg, Wil, Russ, Louis what can I say other than it was fun heading out for beers and "stuff."
I didn't know "F" bombs were being banned in Vegas???
I will always remember the "you need to calm the fuck down" and "Teams...what Teams" comments for SHOT 2010.
Corey, Bone and I had an absolute blast.
Let's do it again.


PS......sleep is for pussies.
 
Re: SHOT SHOW ROLL CALL

For all those that came by to introduce yourself, thank you, except for Cheese LOL, and all the very positive comments to all the new AI offerings this year. Look forward to next year, will be good.
