Had to go to Nevada to meet a friend from the east coast.
I got a chance to meet people that I only hear on my podcast this week. Richard from Guns, Holsters and Gear was one of them. He is a really nice guy.
I got a chance to meet some really cool guys from Cody, Wyoming, Michael Bane from Downrange TV and the lead instructor from GLOCK.
I had the opportunity to go to the SHOT show in Las Vegas for two days. The shot show is the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show and Conference (SHOT Show) is the largest and most comprehensive trade show for all professionals involved with the shooting sports and hunting industries. It is the world’s premier exposition of combined firearms, ammunition, archery, cutlery, outdoor apparel, optics, camping and related products and services. The SHOT Show attracts buyers from all 50 states and more than 75 countries. The SHOT Show is owned and sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation
Attendance at the SHOT Show is RESTRICTED to the shooting, hunting and outdoor trade and commercial buyers and sellers of military, law enforcement and tactical products and services ONLY. The show is not open to the public, and NO one under age 16 shall be admitted (including infants).
I went this year for the first time as a media representing THE USP. There are over 55,000 people there and two floors of exhibits. It was a bit overwhelming. I was hoping to meet Mark Craighead of Crossbreed Holsters, Michael Bane of downrange TV, Miguel caballero, and as many people as I could to talk about the USP. I had the pleasure of meeting and sharing dinner with Richard from Guns, Holsters and Gear. I was interviewed by the ProArms Podcast crew and had a fun time with that and met some up and coming people in the firearms industry that are trying to make it like I am.
I got a chance to shoot at media day at the range on MLK day, it was butt cold and raining off and on out there though at the boulder city rifle and pistol range but I made some new friends.

Michael Bane, Chris and
Looks like I missed you at SHOT. We got there on Wed. about noon but it sounded like you were already gone. We were downstairs at the Russ Field Safari booth.
BTW, where’s the picture of the booth babe mentioned during the podcast?
Thanks for the pic, Kenn. Now I know which you were talking about. I take back the “babe” part of my earlier request. ;D Her booth was just about 30 ft. or so from the Russ Fields Safaris booth along the “yellow brick road” (yellow carpet stripe down the center of the downstairs displays). Again, too bad I missed you there.
