The week was great and I was worn out. I went to bed last night and slept 13 hours.
We had a great time. My wife came with me this year and had a blast. She got to meet a lot of the guys I'm always talking to and about. I want to thank all you guys for the way she was accepted into the "family". I couldn't do what I do without her support. She hooked up with Rob's, Tony's, and Drake's wives one day when she and Lisa Bynum went out for a spa day. April hit it off with Drake's wife and feels like she has a Greek sister now I think.
Andrew Blubaugh, Cowboy-bravo on the Hide, came too and was a huge help to me in getting the word out to people who came through the booth. He's a much better talker than I am and I'm glad he came to help us out. Thanks for your help Andrew.
It was great to be able to put faces with names and meet so many new people. My favorite part of the show is getting to meet so many of the actual warriors who are taking the fight to the enemy around the world and shaking their hands and thanking them for their service. I finally got the shake the hand of they guy who came up with the main ideas behind the TAB GEAR sling, what a pleasure that was.
I also met a guy who I've talked to on the phone many times and is 26 years old and has had 10 deployments to a couple different areas. This young man looks like he's only about sixteen years old, but he's super sharp and will be a huge influence in what gets into warfighters hands for years to come. We're lucky to have someone in his position who has been in the field and doesn't care about anything but getting good equipment to the guys who need it.
We debuted our new biathlon slings at the show and they seem to have been very well received. We still haven't arrived at actual prices yet but the design and testing has been finished and we're ready for production.
Andrew's been testing and evaluating our new lightweight compact litter with SWAT, EMT, LEO and Mil units and lots of people at the Show were impressed with it as well.
We talked to dealers from around the world who expressed interest in selling TAB GEAR. We're pretty excited to see what the future holds as to picking up new dealers around the world.
I need to thank Lisa and Jacob Bynum for all the work they do with and for TAB GEAR. Lisa takes a huge load off of my back with taking orders and payments and keeping me in line with the business side of things. Jacob is like a brother and I love both of you guys.
Frank helps me out a lot too and is a total blast to be around, yes I love you too Frank.
Kasey Beltz loaned us some Atlas bipods to use as a display in the booth, thank you very much Kasey.
Tom Manners also loaned us four of his outstanding stocks to display our slings on. It wouldn't have been the same without them Tom, thank you very much for building them for us to use.
Both of these guys are great guys, be sure to consider them for your next purchases of bipods or stocks.
Thanks again to everyone for helping TAB GEAR have a great SHOT Show.
