Took a day and went to Harrisburg PA to the show.
Absolutely massive, walked around for hours and I definitely didn't see everything.
There were a few manufacturers missing that surprised me, but overall getting hands on things I may want to buy in the future really helped me make up my mind.
For $15 it was worth it.

Camo show, if you're not wearing camo you don't belong.

I didn't have a Camo/hunting/Mennonite/tactical hat on, that was the dead giveaway. 

I'd go, but I'm afraid I'd end up with a truck full of ammo, magazines, and other gun stuff...again.

Not nearly as much for sale as I expected.  

Get any cool swag?

The usual bottle coozies, stickers and bags.
Favorite swag was a hot wheels Ford raptor, which is about as close as I will get to owning a Ford Raptor.

A homeless person wouldn't have so many awesome glock pens.

No joke I have a Glock pen and a Sig pen. The Sig pen is a much nicer pen.

I never said Sig's wern't nice... just that you are an elitist sig snob, while im more of a equal opportunity gun whore lol

My Shot Show haul was no where near as impressive as @Krdshrk Walking around with him and watching him sniff out the freebies like a hound dog on the scent was most impressive.

I also have a plastic water bottle from miguel caballero and a coffee mug from Mossberg that i forgot to put into the picture.

This is like kids at Halloween 

Went yesterday. It was nice.  No offense to anybody but I don't get the whole freebie/swag thing.  It's not my thing. 

Spoke with some outfitters that I had written down. Some nice guys. Some farkin idiots.  The fishing section was nicer than I expected.  Got plenty of stuff for river fishing for smallmouth. That was a nice surprise.  

Had an elk hotdog. Taste like a regular hotdog.  Lol  Got caught downwind of some Amish people.  Always pleasent.   Lol. 

Got back to bass pro and bought a lot of ammo to restock my supply.  

Traffic was a little squirrelly on the pa turnpike with the rain/fog but overall not bad.

Nice!  Any cool new single seat inflatable pontoons?  Been looking at these for some river/lake fishing.

Honestly didn't go into that room/area. Being a good distance from the ocean a lot of stuff was geared towards lake/river fishing.  

If you Google the show and look at their exhibitor list I'm sure their are some on there. Type in pontoon or inflatable in the search feature and I'm sure you'll get some hits.

Trying to find my Sig Pen from the show - Glock pen was actually much nicer.  

Best pen I got though was a Vegas pen from the LV Convention and Visitors Authority.  @Lakota - it actually had a stylus on it... I know you were looking for one with that...

Wow.......was there something you missed?
