    We had 6 in our group - 1 is confirmed positive and feeling like hell this morning. We'll see how many more fall in the coming days. C19 FTW! lol

    you have no idea how prevelant those are in my field. Nothing says "do not take me seriously or probably even talk to me" like a man with a sparkly arse.

    Very much looking forward to your videos. I'm really interested to see if there are any new rangefinding smart crossbow scopes coming out.

    We didn't do a video on it, but Burris has a new one out. The Oracle X I believe it's called.

    The second person from the show is now down with the Rona, so we may have a delay with some of the videos. He's got all of the footage and catalogs/info at his house. Doh!

    Man that sucks. I have a couple of outdoor shows I was planning on going to this year. The Easter Outdoor Expo in Harrisburg next month and then a Musky fishing show in March. I'm not terrified of the Rona, but I sure don't want it either. Seems like these shows are the perfect place to catch it.....

    If we didn't get it at the show itself, we definitely caught it at the bar! They were packed wall to wall. :lol:

    @Justin do you guys cover any other shows such as the Midwest Hunting Expo in Madison, WI? Or is the ATA the "Grand Poobah"? Just wondering because it's only a hop, skip, and a jump from you guys.

    We used to do the trade show circuit and film some videos at them "back in the day". I'm old and totally over that scene now. I prefer to spend my off-season doing more productive things than sitting in a convention center listening to people tell me stories and show me pictures of bucks on their phones.

    Yeah, yeah, that would get pretty annoying.

    We did that show twice - it's hell. You couldn't pay me enough money to do that for another 9 days plus a few days of travel on both ends. I would go as a spectator, but I'm done with that one as a vendor.
