    I used to go especially to visit the Cold Steel booth, and pick up some new toys. But they stopped attending last year, and it doesn't look like they'll be there again this year. Not sure I want to make the 5 hour round trip this year.

    I expect to be there as usual for 2 days but I am going to check the list of vendors. Last year was a bit disappointing (other than seeing IronPony). I just enjoy hanging with my younger brother so it is still a good time.

    Easily the best event I went to this year and will go again in 2018..
    I emailed CZ (probably the fastest growing gun manufacturer by a mile) to see if they would make an appearance and they will not unfortunately

    That is why we go.

    We look for vacation ideas for that are hunting and fishing combos. Trying new things like Bowfishing guide service last year, was a blast!

    The GAOS is the only place where outfitters from all over the world gather under one roof.

    CZ backed out last year, I was told it got to be too much to staff and attend the 9 day event. Add a day on each end for setup/tear-down and throw in travel and it turns in to a two week commitment. CZ does a lot of shows so this one must have been expendable.

    Sad I would think even a much smaller display with 2-4 employees would be better than nothing at all. Just to show off whatever they release at Shot show..
    Newer civilian version of the Bren to finally be imported to the US, various new colors, the expected P10c variants in subcompact or full size, new scorpion model with their own suppressor tucked in a mlok rail.
    Hand out a few hats, patches, stickers lol

    Started going in 1986 only missed one or two shows since. Always a great time, see people haven't seen in awhile. Always make new friends and see new stuff. The concerts are a good time also. Chris
