My last post from SHOT Show<\/em>….<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
After many miles of walking and speaking with all the manufacturers this industry can provide, I survived my first SHOT Show campaign. At opening bell on Tuesday, to say I was overwhelmed was an understatement.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
However, as I got into my first day I felt at home and got into a groove. This week was a special week for me.To be able to come out here to Las Vegas and cover the greatest trade show on the planet was truly an honor and a privilege.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Final thoughts,<\/em><\/div>\n
A reader asked me to share what I liked best from the show, well now……..<\/em><\/div>\n
I have seen so many incredible products, firearms of all kinds, you name it. I really don’t know if it is possible to narrow it down to just one thing.<\/em><\/div>\n
One of my favorite things was from Colt, the Night Cobra revolver left a lasting impression on me for sure.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My favorite thing you ask?<\/em><\/div>\n
All the amazing people I met here this week, the firearms community is a great one. I am happy to be a small part of it.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I want to take a moment to thank Ilene and Dave Duffy from Backwoods Home Magazine, along with their staff for giving me the opportunity to be the eyes and ears for the magazine this year.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I want to give thanks to Gail Pepin for all her work posting everything I sent her for all of you to feast your eyes on. Gail, I couldn’t have done it without you.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mas,<\/em><\/div>\n
Thank you, sir, for having the confidence and trust in me to fill in for you while you couldn’t be here. Your vast knowledge of this industry is simply amazing and you were missed this year by many.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To all the readers of the blog,<\/em><\/div>\n
I hope you have enjoyed reading the material and looking at all the eye candy as well. I have enjoyed bringing it to you.<\/em><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Until next time,\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
Your man from SHOT signing off\u00a0\"\u270c\"<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
