    Who all will be attending the show? It's looking like I will attend the show this year.

    Anything in particular anyone is waiting / hoping to see unveiled this year?

    I keep waiting for a time dispenser to come out. Not to be mistaken with a time travel device. Although that would probably be more useful. But I have spent enough money on gadgets and clothes and all the things that say “if you have this you will kill big big deer”. But all of that stuff has proven ineffective without the time to use it! Lol

    I'd like to see a carbon graphite composite bow that weighs 2.5 lbs, shoots 400 fps and is so quiet I can shoot from my bedroom window without my wife waking up.

    Well, your Triax has the shoot from the bedroom window with out waking your wife up covered... One out of three isn't all that bad considering the wishes from your list.

    Are you guys covering the show still?

    I like the idea of more time. Although time travel would certainly make trail cameras worth their weight in gold. And you'd never see a trail camera pic posted, only the trophy photo! :nana:

    I'd like to see Sitka introduce an outer shell that is quiet and resists burrs. Everything they make picks up burrs far to easily and the burrs are a pita to get out.

    Awesome, Decroo knows one of the guys I am coming out with. He guided him last year on a pronghorn hunt. Decroo asked him if he knew me knowing Jeff was from NE Ohio... Neither Jeff or I knew he was going to be hunting with Decroo as the hunt was arranged by Elite Archery.... Small world on that one.

    We will arrive on Wednesday afternoon. What days will you guys be attending?

    I will be there the entire time in the Magnus Broadheads booth as in years past. Stop by and say "hey". I don't get much of a chance to walk around and look at all the new stuff.

    Would like to see a Summit with Teflon tubes inserted in the metal tubing that the cable slides through.

    Would also like to see a steal grommet inserted to reinforce the aluminum in the slots that the dogs lock into.

    I was just telling the guys I am going to ATA with yesterday to watch the newest episode to see my boy 'Crick. I still haven't watched it yet, but will soon.

    Also would like to see a limb driven rest that the launcher arm stays in the up position, even when the string is let down... Only falling when the bow is shot.

    Basically a limb driven QAD HDX.

    Also make sure that this bow goes for less than 500 dollars and is made in USA. If it doesn't it's way too much money and not worth it! :lol:

    One of the things that I could see happening in the future (maybe not this year) is a trail camera with blue tooth technology. Maybe one exists already that I don't know about. But wouldn't it be cool if you could go to your trail camera, connect to blue tooth and transfer your photos into your phone and/or tablet? You could then just delete your photos and not have to worry about swapping chips. :tu:

    Hawk has a new cam this year where you can use Bluetooth to change the settings. I’m not sure how fast it would be to transfer that many pictures via Bluetooth.
