I am going over Saturday.  There will be 3 of us.  My bother and I.  We both have bears-gray.

Two years ago, we went and never touched seeing everything.  This year, I will forgo going to clothing areas.  I think we will concentrate on firearms since my bother works as a gunsmith for Guncraft in Ruskin.

If I see anyone I think I have communicated with on Graybeard, I will introduce myself.

Anyone working a booth?

I was at the SHOTshow today for about 8 hrs.   Got to see everything that I wanted to see, but there is a lot more to  explore over the next two days.   I need to get some better shoes though, it is a lot of walking.   Biggest convention I have attended.   Let's hear some other views from those who attended.

i  made it all 4 days

average arival 11 am   til closing

didn't get to see  any of you guys

lots  of  stuff  but nothing  REALLY  note worthy

my  top pick  of the show  in  new stuff would be
the marlin 45-70  like the XLR  with 18 inch barrel and  wild west large loop
and  the XS sights with integral scope rail for standard  and scout scope mounting

also i saw the guide gun  in  16 INCH barrel

I saw amipoint, and I was impressed with the scope or dot scope.  I picked up a video of a pig shot in Europe.  I was impressed with the ability to pick up a running pig with the aimpoint.

I am considering getting the 2x 20 MOA for a carbine I will put together. 

For Ruger 10/22, they have a sight and mount which would make a great addition.  I had difficulty getting a mount which would work for mine.  This solves the problem.

I really liked the Ruger LCR, small framed very lightweight 5 shot 38+p.   Has a very different trigger (much smoother) than other Ruger revolvers. the frame is aluminum and polymer, with steel barrel insert and cylinder.   Only weighs 13 1/2 oz.    no hammer spur for CC.    I would like to try this one out.
