What is this ATA show all about? Whats ATA stand for?

RE: ATA Show?
 

It stands for Archery Trade Association. Its a huge trade show where almost everyone in the hunting industry goes and sets up booths to promote their products. Its in Indy this year

RE: ATA Show?
 

I was offered an invite but I got a couple operations going on at the time. I know Len will be there. He's giving a couple seminars, one for Apple Archery and then one he does on tuning I think for the show folks I believe.

RE: ATA Show?
 

Roger that. Unless there's something special the boss wants me wearin, I'll have on an orange HNI hat. We won't have a booth, but will be walking around checking out all the new goodies to see what we might want to carry this year.

RE: ATA Show?
 

Yeah, the bowtech booth will be busy, no doubt about it. I'm bettin the Hoyt booth isn't slow either though. ;)

RE: ATA Show?
 

I won't be. :(

RE: ATA Show?
 

Can I get a General instead of a hat,I have enough of them.:D

RE: ATA Show?
 

Thats too bad...i was hopin you would be there old man! :D;)

RE: ATA Show?
 

There is no exaggeration when I say that year in , year out the Bowtech booth is by far the busiest area of the show, and we just keep taking up more space. LOL :)We have a Bowtech booth, a Diamond booth, Stryker Crossbow, Airrowgun and maybe an apparel area as well as probably 8 lanes of non-stop shooting plus the Airrowgun shooting display. They are usually lined up 4-6 deep to shoot the bows all the way across the lanes.

When I say booths, don't think "booth" think an entire corner of the building. :D

To give you an idea I think last year we had 53 people? working our area and if one of us sat down for more than 5 minutes for anything other than writing a bow order it was a miracle. LOL
We hear it every year, " So THIS is where everyone is!?"[:-]

RE: ATA Show?
 

Don't feel Bad Rob, neither will I;)

Dan

RE: ATA Show?
 

Not this year, next year I'll be there.

RE: ATA Show?
 

That would be the most likely place to bump into me. I'm not sure what time we are heading out on Friday, it's up to the shop owner. Hope to see you there.

RE: ATA Show?
 

Word out to the Corporate Guys
I was at my Bowshop yesterday talking toone of thebest bow-technicians in my area. SHE was getting ready to go to the show with 2 others from the shop. HER biggest complaint was that she has to bring guys with her to shoot the new bows as MOST are set at 60 lbs and she can't pull them.

It's a bit of an injustice asthis girl knows her stuff.

RE: ATA Show?
 

We will be arriving on Wednesday for the Outech party Wednesday night and returning home from the ATA Show on Saturday.
I'm with you on that Christine...... And dont forget about talking to Dead Down Wind about Carp Stench Eliminator ;)

RE: ATA Show?
 

GR8atta2d;
I manage a bow shop full time and had to work myself up to pulling 70lbs, but the real problem for meis that I have such a short draw length ( 25.5 ) that I am not able to pull back the longer draw bows....... and of course this really hits home at the ATA show every year I have to talk to the bow manufacturers about having bows setup or bows that can be setup with the shorter draws at the ATA show... yes there are a few companies such as ( Bowtech and Parker for example )that are prepared to accomidate the shoter draw archers but they are the minority not the majority at the ATA Show.[:@]

RE: ATA Show?
 

I would love to go as I had a blast last year. Unfortunately I've have too many things going on to make it in 08... [:@]
