I'll be there with a table at the Beinfeld Show. I'll have a Searcy or two there and will invite Butch (if he doesn't have a table himself) who is not far away in Boron, Ca. His shop is a great visit for anyone going to Vegas.

I might add that there is an incredible wildlife display at the Bass Pro Shop in Vegas. This is not a lil shop but a HUGE extravaganza. Multiple African game in scenes quite unbelieveable. Don't miss this place.

Purdey and H&H are always there at the Beinfeld show. German gunmakers, too. Best show in the world.

There is an unfortunate side to Vegas. There will be ads by unfortunate young women who cannot afford but the skimpiest of clothes. You would think that churches would take care of these young waifs, but there may be too many to help. The photos of these poor young things just wants to make you hold them close and take them home.
