    Next week we head down to Indianapolis for the ATA Show to check out all of the new products for this year. I'll be heading down on Tuesday morning to set up our booth and take care of a few meetings that evening. The show runs Weds-Friday, and I will hopefully be home on Friday night so I can hunt over the weekend.

    So be on the lookout for lots of new content to hit the main website (yes, we have one of those) next week!

    Is anyone else going to be down there by chance? We'll have some swag in our booth for anyone who stops by that's a forum member.

    I would love to, but I don't have the time off. It's an 8 and a half hour drive, so I'll have to live it through your coverage. No pressure.

    Nope, when the show comes closer, I will consider attending.

    I'm pretty sure it's in Indy for the next couple of years, then it rotates between Nashville and Louisville. I highly doubt we ever see it move from one of those three cities again. With most of the archery dealers being concentrated in the Midwest and the East coast, it doesn't make sense to have it somewhere else. Travel is just too tough for those folks.

    I wish I had a connection to be able to go. Always love the coverage and looks like a great time. When I retire and start my archery business... lol.

    Since I live in Indiana, I'd go in a heartbeat. But I ain't qualified!

    Little less than a 4 hr drive to Indianapolis for me these days. Might be able to make it one day. Drive 4 hrs and buy one "butt out" tool.

    Well, you'll need a badge to get in since it's a members-only show. And, unfortunately for you, there aren't any products for sale there. You'll have to ask someone to let you take a butt out tool to the men's room so you can test it yourself before placing your order.

    Will you be sporting your
    “Members Only” jacket at the show? Or are they now cool vests?

    Looks like machined stands, sticks and a saddle platform that is under 3 lbs.

    Featured products list from the show: a$420 lock on treestand?!?! When are we going to stop this nonsense. Everyone needs to just sit on what they have and let these company’s sweat there losses. It’s getting long out of hand.

    And you will have to bring your own butt out tool!
