I have to agree with Otis...what a disappointment....the show is getting smaller & smaller each year.....at this rate in about 5 years there won't be a show.....really didn't find any deals either although I did by a new foam target for my crossbow practicing.....oh well, i'll probablly still go next year & the year after.......

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

For me the highlight of the show was seeing an extremely rare snake mullet. I got into mullet hunting 2 years back when someone posted a link to their mullet hunting site here, there was some fine plummage at the show (saw 7 classic mullets), but the mature snake mullet was probably a once in a lifetime sighting, even more rare than a fe-mullet. Between the dogs and mullets it was worth the $12, hopefully I win the o/u 20ga being raffled by the upland bird guys.
