The SHOT Show extravaganza is almost here, and all of our email accounts are buzzing with invites, plans, and travel details as we draw a deep breath before taking the plunge. As if to remind us of the enormity of the undertaking, the NSSF has put out a cool infographic which boils all of the halls, stalls and booth babes into some mind-boggling statistics. (Okay, I made up that part about the booth babes.) . . .

All I have to say is, yikes.
Ok stop rubbing it in, we all wish we could be there already. Now get your stuff ready and go find us some cool shit.
I tried to think of a way my job was involved in some aspect of the arms industry, so I could go. But no time for love Dr. Jones.
A few months ago I relocated for a job. Not ten minutes after I officially accepted I got a call from Remington wanting to bring me in for an interview.
It was that day that I learned it is physically possible for a person to kick their own ass….
This is the second year in a row I won’t be at the shot show.
I’m so bummed.
It’ll be my 40th year of SHOT Show non-attendance.
If you get the chance, it’s really a treat. You get to talk with folks, see stuff you never would normally see.
Go. Just go. If you are a gun person, hunter, ‘operator’, or whatever.
Try to get to a SOFEX or a TREXPO show.
Way cool.
Then go for the real show, the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo. 2 days of SHOT, then stick around for the next 2 days of, well, if I have to explain, it’s not something to google at a corporate job.
Russo & Steele also have a high-end car auction going that week, so Vegas really will be the ultimate place to be a man. Especially one with some play money.
I started making plans to go a couple years back until I learned, like E3, it’s trade only. Boo. Hiss.
Hell or high water I’m going next year. Gotta figure out who could take me though.
Miles of aisles…
You know, with a start/finish line in the parking lot you could get some tacticool shoe company to sponsor the SHOT 1/2 marathon opening day. See who really is OAF and who has a heart attack in front of the ballistic athletic supporter booth!
Oh I don’t know about there not being some booth babes. I’ve sure seen some over the years at Shot. not as much as the auto show but still.
See you Tuesday.
Booth babes? See my post above…
My Sons and I are going for the 1st time, can’t wait!
I love the fact that I work for the company that provides the decor for SHOT
