I found DSC to be more welcoming and relaxed.

I would pick DSC. They don't rob you to get in and it seems like a more relaxed friendly environment. Unfortunately for me I can't make it to DSC this year because of work. So off to SCI I go

DSC definitely.
Unfortunately, I have a scheduling conflict this year and most likely it will have to be SCI.

SCI...

Buddies and I enjoy the eight hour drive to Vegas from Idaho. DSC is two twelve hour days each way.

If you like bluebloods who walk around with their noses up in the air, go to SCI. If you like regular "Joe's" that drink longneck beer and dip Copenhagen, and are generally as hospitable as people get, DSC rules..........

Also even though many exhibitors do both, there are many who do DSC because they refuse to be extorted by SCI. Wink

Guys,

I like both shows, am a member of both organizations and exhibitor at both. SCI to me though is the super bowl of outdoor shows and Vegas it just a better overall venue for a hunter wanting to make a short holiday out of the convention with family and friends. There's a lot to do and see plus the food is outstanding. Dallas is less expensive and I tell hunters on a regular basis if finance is an issue go to Dallas as all the major players will be there. I guess it boils down to what type of experience you'd like. Oh! There are plenty of longnecker drinkers and Copenhagen users at both shows. Believe me!

I've been to SCI a few times, and have never been more unimpressed with a particular group of people in my life. They seemed to think their schittt was ice cream and there were not enough spoons to go around.

These comments are interesting . I go to both. Lots of good people at both. More than Enough assholes at both.

It is interesting. There are some people you can't talk to at one because there are so many people get their booth will be empty at the other.

DSC generally seems more relaxed. SCI has more things to do.

If a bigger show with more to choose from is what you're looking for then SCI is this place to be that I won't argue....but I'll trade you all the fancy food in Vegas for a plate of Texas BBQ holycow

Been to both Shows and it's SCI for me this year.

A LOT less expensive for ME to attend SCI over DSC. Air fare to LV $200.00, three nights room at Mandalay Bay in LV $58.00 total, food and entertainment way better in LV, after Show activities endless in LV, next to nothing in Dallas and SCI is a Members Only Show (I like that). The savings in airfare, hotels, food and entertainment are FAR GREATER for me to attend in LV. These savings outweigh the cost of admission factor for each venue by a lot.

Enjoy whichever Show you attend and for whatever reason. To each his own they say.

If you want to wade through 100 different South African plains game farm hunts, 30 different whitetail high fence hunts, another 30 Alaskan caribou hunts, 50 different wildlife jewelry retailers, 50 different wild life artsist, 50 different taxidermist, 30 different clothing retailers, and lots of old guys with rented girlfriends...go to SCI

If you want have a more focused expereinced...go to DSC.

Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.




What I have learned on AR, since 2001:
1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken.
2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps.
3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges.
4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down.
5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine.
6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle.
7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions.
8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA.
9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not.
10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact.
11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores.
12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence.
13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances.

I currently live 80 miles from Dallas. So this one is a no brainer for me.
