Your booth is located RIGHT NEXT to Excalibur cross guns' booth?
This should be interesting.

Deerfly my thoughts exactly. What better way to reach the crossbow crowd then to set up right next to a booth attracting them?

You guys DO realize I posted that with a big grin on my face, right?
I already planned to stop by Barry's booth to say "Hi", but I may need to linger around for a bit just for the entertainment value. :biglaugh:

Good luck with that, like introducing capitalism to Venezuela.

A year or two ago, we (Wisconsin Traditional Archers) had the same thing happen at a Deer and Turkey Classic, the biggest annual consumer sports show in the state. On top of that, the person heading the cross gun booth, was an ex student I had in a university class about 25 years previously. We became friends and after he graduated, bird hunted together a time or two.  We got along, though we did make "No Crossbow" stickers available to anyone who wanted one.   

Their booth actually received a lot more traffic than ours. Crossbows had just been legalized in the state, and folks were flocking to buy them.

Well dang, I didn't realize uncle Barry with be there!

I will be there from Saturday to Wednesday supporting my biggest dealer Eurooptic and therefor will be hanging behind the Leica section of their booth. I fortunately have a coworker come in for the second half of it. Holy cow what a long event.!. This will be my first time attending this show, and to be honest have heard nothing but horror stories from a vendor standpoint haha.

I am just coming off 21 straight days of trade shows (SCI-Dallas Safari-SHOT), so was certainly not looking forward to another large consumer show, but knowing that Uncle B will be there may just make it worth while haha.

If any of my fellow gangers are going to be there and want to come by to say hey or check out some great optics, come see me at the Eurooptic booth.
