There is going to be a Shot Show in Vegas

[FredNOk]

Not that I can afford a trip to go to it or have ever been to Vegas, but there's a shot show going on from January 20th-23rd. Thought someone might be interested to know that.
Xtreme bullets will have booth #2214. If I could afford it I think I would go just so I could get a better understanding on the production of ammo. That info was posted on the 24 hour daily
cyber sale that Xtreme runs on the deal of the day.

They locked the SHOT Show down recently and got more strict on only allowing attendees "from the industry".

In other words, if you aren't a documented member of the industry, it's pretty hard to get in.

Well that just bites! I didn't see anything about that on the Xtreme site. Thanks for that info SMS.

Yeah, it kinda sucks but it is an industry trade show not a gun show. So it makes sense when you look at it that way.

This is true. Well I guess I won't be going. I was already packed up and making my reservations! Thats a total lie. LOL

I worked with a guy who's wife was an industry buyer and he got to go a few years back. He said it was pretty cool.

I understand wanting to keep it restricted to industry buyers/sellers, but I bet they'd make a killing if they opened the last couple days up to the general public and sold tickets.

The last expo I went to was in wichita falls at the mpec. It was the one that did the mods in autos. They had the Bigfoot and a Transformer pick up truck I like alot.
It was really cool and futuristic, even if it was many years ago. The transformer pickup truck from then is nothing compared to now with today's technology, but it was still pretty neat.
I don't know if anyone in here has watched the series Continuum, but the futuristic weapons and the "Protector" law enforcement bodysuits are some cool concepts from that show.

If you want to go to a good outdoor and gun expo, check out the Outdoor show in Harrisburg, PA. It is every year in February. When I get home tonight I will post a link.

Cool AP. I cant afford a trip right now, but havin the info before hand helps out everyone. If they do this every Febuary,
I might just have to start setting aside some mad money to go, but I'll need a bud to go with to keep me out of trouble. I don't usually
travel alone on a trip that far away from home. LOL

They'd laugh all the way to the bank, and then the bonus from the hype from the new stuff being exposed by us common folk. Free marketing.
