I may have missed it, but will there be any kind of an AR gathering in Vegas for the convention?

I don't believe AR has any close affiliation with SCI - supportive of DSC though. Wink

There usually is at least one unofficial meeting at the Giraffe bar.


Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

If you set up a get-together, please make it on Thursday. This will be my last convention, and I'm returning to Tucson on Friday. I'd like to put names from this site to faces.

I set up an AR meeting in Reno last year that was well attended. I know nothing about Vegas so cannot help but would attend if someone sets something up. I agree with Bill that Thursday night would be a good choice.

For someone only registered here for the past 14 months, I don't understand how you can possibly be so presumptuous. But this is the internet, after all, so anyone can become an instant expert. Your contribution to this thread is entirely useless, non-responsive to the OP and a waste of space.

Having never been to an SCI show, I decided I'd make the trip to Vegas this winter. My flight doesn't get in until Fri morning, so I'd be up for a gathering if one happens on Fri or Sat.

Phil, will you have a booth at the show?

Here is a link to a map of this years SCI event in Vegas. Should be able to pick a spot to meet on here I would think.

http://member.scifirstforhunte...gas2012/default.html

I think you might need exocad to view it, it is free to download i believe. Cool program to view the map.

Looks like it is going to be a monster of a show, it will be a first time for me. have heard that there is going to be a lot more exibitors.

LionHunter & Larry, he may have been here only 14 months but he sure has a read on "AR" taken as a whole is anti SCI, eh. Especially the national show a/k/a "the rip off of outfitters geathering". Big Grin

The whole being the owner.

I guess I'll be banned.

HELP with Dallas.

We usually go to Dallas, but we're probably going to try SCI this year, since it isn't in such a pain to get to this time. (Reno is such a sad little town.) 'Not a big fan of Sin City either, but Southwest makes it cheap and easy.

I'll pay the highway-robbery fee to walk the trade-show floor, just this one time. Do you old-timers walk around carrying all your medals and trophies? 'Can't wait.hilbily

I'd attend an AR gathering if something is arranged.

I don't know much about SCI v. DSC politics and definitely don't have a dog in that hunt. However, some of my friends are only coming over for the SCI show, so I am making the pilgrimage. Also, not being a "community organizer", I don't have any experience putting anything like this together. However, that being said, I would like to put some faces to names and hear some of your lies first hand. My group will be there Friday night and Saturday night. Is anybody familiar with the area and have any suggestions for a meeting site? Doug - I hope you save some big cats for me!

will be there Wednesday and thursday only.

a usual stop by the Giraffe Bar for beer is a good idea (daily! tu2)--at about 430pm for those that can't make a organized official AR party.

stop by and say hello if you are there Big Grin

I'll be there. Look for the short guy from the western Montana SCI bunch. That's me. I'll check back to see if anyone gets organized.

Got into town at 1330hrs. Waited 30 minutes for the shuttle to depart (@$6 pp) should have taken a cab. Checked into the Luxor and took a walk towards the Mandalay Bay convention ctr. Found some good friends and began to party around 1600hrs. Had a couple of Don Julio 1942s. Dined at the Irish Pub between the MB and Luxor around 1930hrs - great grub, reasonable $ and really Irish! Back to room at 2100hrs and will be at the show first thing to see old friends and consummate Elephant hunt for 2012.

I hate Vegas, but so far, so good (but not as good as Reno). The hotel has issues. Here until late Friday afternoon. Where are we meeting?

Mike,

That's Ri Ra. I love that place; it has a great atmosphere and very good food. The Guiness is always nice and cold.

All the Zim boys that I know would gravitate to a place called "Cathouse" like a moth to a flame. Irrestible.
