We will be attending the Shot Show this year and wanted to start a thread where I'll be posting any pictures and updates to while I'm there. If there's something in particular you'd like us to check out, post it here. This will be our first Shot Show. If you are attending, look for us wearing black USA Carry shirts and say hi.

I've posted all the pictures here: Shot Show 2009 Pictures

I'll be there the whole weeked. Can't wait. It's always a great time. Watch the photo taking though. Unless you have a press pass, taking photos on the convention floor can get you kicked out.

Yep, we have press passes so we should be able to snap away! Stop me if you se me and say hey.

It will be myself and one or two guys that help me with the site.

I wish I were able to attend what may very be the last Shot Show weekend, now that Obama is about to take office. Hope you enjoy and please don't take it for granted.

Wish we could get it in the Fort Worth, Dallas area sometime.

I seriously doubt that the Shot Show is going anywhere. Here is a brief history of the 30 years it's been around...

Quote:

The first SHOT Show was held in St. Louis in 1979 – with attendance at 5,600 and square
footage just over 52,000. In the 27 years since, SHOT Show acceptance and attendance have
skyrocketed – attendance in 2005 was 24,655, while the square footage topped 569,000.
We’ve all come a long way. And thanks to you, we’re still growing!

Yea, I don't think it'll be going anywhere.

I'm already here. It should be a good show. I've been going for almost 30 years. During the Clinton times the show did fine.

I won't be in town until late tomorrow night, but I will hit the Conv. center early on FRI. Just packed all my stuff where I can grab it and go tomorrow.
