Ok, here is the official SHOT SHOW Thread from your servants here on WaGuns.3 of us will be attending, representing WaGuns this year; MadPick, Sinus211, and PMB. This is a smaller group than usual due to some lacking vacation time availability (Dan would rather take family vacations
) and other restraints so we'll have to take a more focused approach to gear reviews this year. Are any other members headed there?
We will be updating this thread with photos and summaries from what we saw, did, got etc.
We will also be using our social media:
- Instagram
- Facebook
- YouTube
- Twitter
- WaGuns.org Blog
We will also be dumping photos into an iCloud photo album: LINK TO COME LATER
Here is what you can expect:
Sunday - We all arrive in Vegas. Expect food pics, drink pics and general debauchery.
Monday - This is
Range Day where we get to shoot and fondle all the new shit. Cell range out there is spotty, so don't expect anything from us until late afternoon. After that, it'll be more food, drinks, maybe some light nudity.
Tuesday - Day #1 of the Show. 630,000sf to cover, so little time. Photos on the fly, recaps at night. Side missions of procuring free schwag for PIF's. Evening events.. NSFW.
Wednesday - Day #2 of the Show. Similar to Day #1, but with more nudity.
Thursday - Day #3 of the Show. This will be our final day. Running to see the stuff we missed, and re-doing our favorite booths.
We will try and post updates on this thread with photos and summaries of the day.
IMPORTANT:I'm attaching a list of this year's exhibitors with their booth numbers. As I'm sure you can see there are a lot of them. If you'd like us to focus on a particular exhibitor or product please post:
