Site Blooms: Even LinkedIn was at the Shot Show

Meet Rate (I think...apologies if I have a fat thumb and got his name wrong on my phone!)

Meet Dave!

And...even Elvis was there!

E-Bikes are also There!

 I was rather delighted to see powered bikes at the SHOT Show.  Meet Tim from Recon Power Bikes.  Awesome bikes!   Advertised as Military Tough and all terrain.  I am quite tempted!    Check them out if you want something built tough and durable for the backwoods trips.

Thanks Tim!

Nice hat, too!

Benelli: A name associated with quality Shotguns

 Meet Chase.   He was representing Benelli. Benelli makes a very wide range of shotguns in the different gauges.  They also make rifles!  And Chase was very familiar, warm and engaging!

I was a bit surprised he was from Illinois.   That state isn't known for being very firearms friendly.

Thanks for your time Chase!

From North American Arms!!

 Meet Jessica!

North American Arms makes small caliber, concealable firearms.  They are very cool.  Check them out!

And, as always, thank you so much for chatting Jessica!

Magnum Research at the SHOT Show!

Meet Scott!

He was there representing Magnum Research.  I had no idea they were operating out of Motley, MN.  It is a small town in the middle of the state!  I've been through there a few times!

Meet the team representing Holosun

Meet Malden!

Meet Anna!

And meet John!

Holosun makes wonderful Red Dot sights for handguns and rifles as well as magnifiers for each. 

It was lovely meeting all of you.   THANKS

Using the Cloud to track Government forms!

 Meet Matthew!

Matthew works for a company that does cloud storage for all form 4473's.  A 4473 is a federal government form that must be completed when a person purchases a firearm from an FFL.  

VERY nice to meet you Matthew!

SHOT Show Continued: Ed Brown

 Meet Dave!

And meet Steve!

They were representing Ed Brown.  They primarily make custom 1911 handguns.  VERY NICE ones too, I might add.

Thank you for your time, gentlemen!

Wandering Locals at the SHOT show

 Meet Taylor and Madison!

They were gracious enough to stop for a minute and let me take their photos. 

THANK YOU Ladies.

Shot Show Continued

 I really shouldn't update my blog after a couple of good martini's.  But, what the hell. 

Meet Ross!  He is from Camelback Bikes.  It is difficult taking photos of people with classes indoors with lighting issues.  Glasses reflect a lot of light. And being hair challenged, as I am, also creates a few reflection issues!

But it was wonderful meeting you.   Thanks for chatting with me!

Back to the Shot Show

Meet Ashlea!

At least I think I got her name right.  She is from Scottsdale and was representing Streak Visual Ammo.  I will probably make this a bit too simple and slightly incorrect.  But they have a bright red coating on the backside of the bullet.  It provides some visibility, without using a tracer round, to see the bullet trail in flight.  I've used it a few times!

Lovely meeting you Ashlea.

Happy 16th Birthday to my Oldest Grandchild

 Good luck on your driver's test this AM.  I hope the best for you.  But, I am terrified, as a grandparent, that you don't have enough experience on the ice and snow.  Happy 16th. And GOOD LUCK

Damn...you are almost as good looking as I am!   And I am challenging you to another arm wrestling contest.  This time, you won't take me down in less than 2 seconds.  It might take you 3 seconds!

Happy New Year: 2025

 A time for some fun.  This was several years ago.  Today, that young boy is less than a week from his drivers license.
