The SHOT Show's attendance was considerably larger today than it was yesterday. First thing, a fellow introduced himself and it was Indian (picture below). We've all chatted with him in the bowhunting.net chat. It was a pleasure to meet him. Later, T.R. Michaels told me the North American Whitetail booth had the new Ohio buck that it the potential new worlds record whitetail buck. Here are a few pics from around the show. Jan 11 @ SHOT Show ...
