I had a great time in US and meet a lot of AR members, won't post any pictures or so today though because I am almost dead from Jetlag and a full days work. Will be back tomorrow......

cchunter,

I too just got back from Reno, I had a great time! the best was meeting all the members of AR! It was good to put some faces on the user names.
I was coming home on Sunday but got bumped off my flight, American West made it worth while though, spent a night in phoenix, AZ at a 5 star hotel with meals and a free round trip ticket for the future!

Reno was very "filling" as usual!!!!

Take a rest Christer, you relly looks washed out!

Regards,
Martin

Fact is that everything went so quick end all was great and names were mixed up with nicknames. So I made it easy for me and I let everybody introduce themselves with help of the following pics.

It was great to meet you all and Owe and I will try to be back next year.

At the same time I like to invite all AR members to a BIG BORE Meeting in Kinna Sweden April 29 - May 1, with a lot of fun and shooting. April 29 will be dedicated to long travellers and the two other days will be for everyone who likes hunting and shooting.

Carmello has promised to attend so lets see if we can get some more overseas visitors....

From the photos, is it mandatory to wear safari gear at a safari show?

(BTW I wear it everyday almost so am guilty too )

Well, I haven't heard that wearing safari clothing is manditory at the SCI Convention. I am the guy wearing the cowboy hat in photo 2. But western clothing is my safari gear. I did not get to go to the dinner as I was having dinner with my son. Looks like the dinner was well attended. Was nice putting a face on all of these "handles" on the forum.

HOOT

That's me as #2, in image #1 talking to Steve from OR, with Eric Ching in the foreground. And left of Mims in image #2. That's an official bright yellow AR totebag I'm using. ("Who knew they'd be handing out totebags at SCI" exclaimed the Rookie.)

NOTE: After 3 hrs in the day auction room, your hair will look like mine too!
