SS08 KNOW THY BEAM SHOT

Sunday, Feb. 3

Dinner 6:00PM, location TBD at the show
Shootout 8:30PM

Mr Ted Bear will again be the Royal King of; "Mmmm Mr. Officer, sir, we are really just playing with these lights...seriously sir". Please join your fellow CPF members for the traditional SHOT Show Shootout.

Bring your big guns and your pocket rockets to show. Don't forget your camera and tripod.

About the location

This years SHOT Show shootout is located within a small saddle at the base of Frenchman Mountain. As the crow flies, it is 10 miles from the convention center. The drive should take 20 minutes. Hop on i15 North, exit on East Lake Mead Blvd and continue until the edge of town. The shootout takes you to an area rich in geologic history. For those with remaining energy after hiking the convention center floor all day, an interpretive trail begins at the shootout location which takes you to a lookout 1/4 mile away. Please visit links below. I do not know if there are any minerals present that will fluoresce under the presence of UV light but let's give it a try.

Frenchman Mountain sports the oldest exposed rock anywhere on this continent. Visit the three links below for the area's geologic significance.

SS08 KNOW THY TICKETING PROCESS


If I can do it, you can, too!

I registered as an attendee (Registration > Attendee Registration > Standard Registration). On the page after the one where they ask for name and company name, I filled in "Industry professional" in the box labeled "If you are not a licensed dealer please describe your industry affiliation" because I could not fill out either the FFL field or the State Tax ID field above it. Then, since none of the business classifications in Question 1A fit me, I chose "AY - Marketing/Research" to answer Question 1B. I then had to pay $20 to register, which I happily did.

I then received a really pretty HTML-formatted email that I will need to print out and take with me to SS08 so that I can trade it in for my real, live ticket, which I will have to stand in line to obtain. Last time I went (in 2006), I wasted about 45 minutes standing in the line for people who had NOT pre-registered, like I had. All told, I didn't miss anything I needed to see, but it sure was disappointing to be told I had wasted that time. Two years ago, this was done right near the entrance to the exhibition hall, so I'll try to figure all this out ahead of time and post it here.

This post might also be updated later if people need more info. PM me if this doesn't cover it.

IMPORTANT UPDATE!
To obtain your required pre-printed name badge, email: mrtedbear@earthlink(dot)net with your CPF name and your real name. This badge/pass is required to be admitted to the PK party. Follow the Surefire/PK invitation thread for deadlines. If your name was listed on the contact list (know thy number), a pass has already been prepared for you.

Requests for name badges officially close 11:59PM Friday night CPF time. Pre-printed name badges will be handed out the night of the party.

Sorry, but no one will be admitted without a pass, no exceptions.

SS08 KNOW THY DAILY BREAD


The shotshow is HUGE and it's rather hard to meet up with people.

This is for facilitating gatherings twice a day during the show to meet and greet
at 11:30am and 4:30pm.

It's a great way to meet up and head somewhere for lunch/dinner or before
an evening event.

Tentatively, we've set the default location at the Fenix Booth in the Gold Room (#24036)

If someone would like to suggest another location or volunteer their booth, shoot me a PM

CPF Welcome @ the Landing Zone

Welcome the inbound SHOT Show attendees.

McCarran International Airport is one of the nations busiest. Steady streams of aircraft are continually stacked in the sky on their final approach to runways 25L and 25R. A dedicated parking area was developed a mere 500 feet from runway 25L. Signs there direct you to tune your radio to 88.5FM where all inbound radio traffic is re-broadcasted. The LZ parking area is located on the South East perimeter of McCarran along E. Sunset Dr.

Join your fellow early bird CPF SS fans for a bit of socializing and off beat fun at the LZ. Watch up close and listen to the steady stream of aircraft activity. We will meet at 8PM, Friday 2/1 in the West side of the parking lot. Bring your small pocket lights for a little bit of show and tell. Due to the sensitive nature of this area, save your big guns for the Shootout scheduled for Sunday 2/3.
