Dear folks,
We had a great time at the NRA Annual Meeting and Convention in St. Louis a couple of weeks
ago...the turnout was truly amazing with lots of folks to talk to and lots of great guns and gear
to check out. One of the reports I got was more than 60,000 people attended, making it the largest
non-religious convention St. Louis has ever had. Pete and I ended up having way too many meetings
to cover, so our booth crew, Tim Dillon, Marc D'Aguanno and Randy Lehman didn't get to venture too
far from our booth. When we were in the booth, we had a really fun time meeting and visiting with
so many of you. And for those we missed, our apologies. Maybe we can catch up in Louisville,
Kentucky, May 16,17 & 18, 2008. The crowds were absolutely fantastic. I must say, it's
genuinely gratifying to see the big crowds around our booth at the show...makes me enormously
grateful to have so many friends and fans. If you were at the Convention, you might have seen a big
bunch of our gang wandering around in logo'd blue shirts, checking out the sights...by all accounts
they had a great time and were very impressed by everything going on. We took down 3 bus-loads of
our gang, many who stayed overnight. I've heard many comments from them on how much they enjoyed
seeing the other booths and talking to the folks manning them, kind of getting an overall picture
of who folks are and how each is involved with our great hunting/shooting industry.
