For many years I've desired to attend the national NRA show and since it was in Phoenix last weekend I had no excuse to miss it. I was not able to attend any of the seminars but did walk the exhibits for nearly 6 hours on Saturday with two friends.

It was nice to share first hand with company owners or reps whose products I've used for years what I like about there products and/or service. The people from Barnes bullets (including owner Randy Brooks) are exceptionally helpful and friendly both on the phone, interent and in person.

Also, the large number of exhibitors was a delight for the senses! Rifles, shotguns, even Drillings (including some costing over $30,000) handguns, presses, backpacks, optics, antiques......wow! Now I need to get to a SHOT show in the near future.
