[Rob/PA Bowyer]

I'll be there too, I'm just trying to make the plans. I'll be shooting the indoor archery 3D course again this year. Hope to team up with Matt / PA, Rick James and Jawshooter when I'm there. Let's keep a run at when we're all going to be there that way if I'm there I can meet some more of you guys. That and you guys can meet others as well.

Although obviously not shooting... I think I might make the venture up there for the show. If I get the chance to go up... it would be nice to put some faces to names of some other HNI members!

I enjoyed going up last year , with Rickmur and we met Davidmil and saw a lot of exhibits lkthat were new. We met the guy from Enigma Camo and what a great guy he was. Enjoyed the log cabin displays and the ATV loaders for pickup bodies. If it is hunting or fishing it is at the Sportsman Show....
