    I just changed my flight to leave tomorrow (Friday) instead Saturday. I "finished" the show today, saw every booth.

    I totally over did it the first day, walked non-stop (even ate my lunch standing) from 8:00am to 4:30pm. That was a mistake. My feet were fine, but my knees and lower back were a little sore. Second say I slept in a bit, got to the show about 9:30am, took my time, had a long (sitting!) lunch with a friend, then strolled the floor until 5:30pm.

    Today (my last day), got to the show around 10am, skipped lunch, but took a several sitting breaks and left about 5:00pm, went out for dinner at Ellis Island (it was amazing).

    I was to fly out Saturday, but I'm done... and I mean DONE! Just want to get home now, leaving a day early.

    Got to meet Ed Burlew and Tony Bernardo at the CSSA party. Ran into SUN news at the IWI booth and at the CSSA party.

    Great show for my first time, I'll definately return. Maybe not next year, but for sure the year after that.

    Oh, and I purchased 1 item. Some vendors WERE selling directly at the show. Timney had a show special for their 3lb AR15 single-stage trigger for $175. None in stock at the show, but I pre-paid via credit card and it will ship from their head office tomorrow (Friday).

    Sometimes it is the very people that no one imagines anything of who do the things that no one can imagine.

    There's a ton of reviews. It's still the 715t. Just no stock and shorter barrel. Anything duck commander is cheesy and I would never buy it. Stupidest show on TV and is scripted. And I think many people would think this is the worst gun of the year. Because of this pistol the 25 round 715t mags will be prohibited.

    At the media day, I didn't really see many women around, a few I guess.

    During the main event, there were lots of women around not only at the booth but mainly as buyers, mostly wives I suspect.

    Then there are the models handing out stuff and posing with people.

    That looks like a show that everyone should try to make. There sure seems to be a lot of neat stuff there to see.
