RE: Toronto Hunting Show
You guys are right, the show seems to be getting worse each year but I wouldn't blame it 100% on the exhibitors. It's the layout that is all wrong. They put stuff everywhere without any thought or planning. It's a mess trying to get around and find anything. They should really think about relocating the calling area into another room, the crowds it created were too large for the area. I use the show to compare products without the pressure of buying, this way I can make the choice instead of a salesman.
As for pricing or sales, if they put some of the retailers closer together it might encourage competition. It would be nice to see some deals though, personally I didn't see any. Lebaron did have a 10% discount though, but I'm sure during the summer they have a 15% to 25% instore sale.
Overall not really a disappointment just the same thing as last year and I'll probably be back there again next year.
Rick, sorry I just missed you on Friday, Thanks to BossTom on the calling advice.
Cheers
