I want to see you, with an Air Speed on hand, with two hot girls at each side of you, up close. And they better have JSAR half shirts on, lol.

I envy you, as I’ve always wanted to attend a SHOT SHOW. My neighbor is the CEO of Trijicon scopes. He’s big bucks man around here, especially since his company landed an account with the federal government and military for all night vision and heat seeking thermal vision. He was suppose to take me, but he let his ego and arrogance get in the way of our friendship, so good bye to that offer.

Defiantly on my bucket list. Have fun, Travis!

MANY thanks for posting Travis.
This should be in the Airgun Gate or Announcement Gate for sure. Not just PCP specific.

Think they'll have the Gen II Fortitude there?

It's on my bucket list to attend as a representative of GTA International Airgun Forums with a media pass. But being held in January, it always sneaks up on me as I recover from the holidays. Maybe next year I'll be close enough to retirement to make the trip. Teresa and I have been to Vegas a few times and have enjoyed every visit. But I want to wander around the Shot Show, meet folks, rub elbows and hand out GTA paraphernalia.

I think if my plane broke down on the runway I would go back home. I'm not one to ignore the signs.
Have fun and be safe.

Hey, those aborted take-offs are exciting!
0 to 160 mph, and back to 0 in less than 1 minute with 300 total strangers. 🤔

We were kind of expecting to see your new offerings.

Post by: Gipper on January 21, 2019, 04:47:46 PM
I had one happen on Adak Alaska with cabin filling with smoke and civilians heading for the exits!.  Not sure where they thought they were going to go at 100+ mph but they were moving. Planes nose wheel actually went off end of runway before he got it stopped. Ended up spending the night after a 2nd failed attempt to take off. 2nd was much less dramatic! Ended up spending the night and getting hammered with a bunch of navy folks.

Hawk... I wanna see the Hawk!

It was probably just a bad O-ring !

Wasn't that the blame for the space shuttle "Challenger"?
Title: Re: The Shot Show thread
Post by: Fethiyebey on January 21, 2019, 05:48:48 PM
Travis, if you get chance would you please have a look at the Space model on the Kral stand. Ergonomically to my eye it looks right and Kral say it has new barrel and trigger. (New does not always mean good.) Min power in .22 14ft/lbs and max 50ft/lbs. Max power in .25 65ft/lbs. Large power wheel should allow easy power adjustment over whole range.
This was due for release here in Turkey this month but this has now been pushed back to after IWA. I am looking to buy at as soon as available so am looking for any input (positive or negative). I know you have some knowledge of Kral's shortcomings in the past as you make parts to overcome these.
Thanks in advance.

Busy day my friends I’m running all over the place and have several meetings to get threw then off to the Beef! Hawks are not assembled yet but that’s next after my meeting at 3:30 then I’ll try and get pics. Tomorrow is the actual first day of shot show this I didn’t know and today is Vendor set up day, it looks like a tornado blew threw here right now but by tomorrow all the vendors will be up and running. Feet hurt but the mind is ready to go

Hmmm....may be because it's in the Announcement Gate. Thinking of moving to Airgun Gate? What say you. I think that is the more appropriate area.
Sure don't want to miss out on photos and videos of the Shot Show!!!!

Post by: ezman604 on January 22, 2019, 12:35:34 PM
THIS thread hasn't been moved except originally from the PCP Gate. There are 3 separate threads running at the moment with the Shot Show as the topic but in different locations. To me, they should all be either combined into one thread or as a minimum be located in the same gate. Putting like topics all over the forum causes confusion IMO.
Title: Re: The Shot Show thread

Been scouring YouTube for Shot Show news on Crosman .. Fortitude II parts may be original fortitude compatible,. can hardly wait till we find out for sure.

The American Airgunner guy who was interviewing IMHO was incredible annoying ... butted in all the time, talked fast ... IMHO was TRYING to be super hip ....Who is that guy ??

Haven't watched the video yet, but from your description it sounds like Rossi Morreale.
