Weatherby2009 Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 Has anyone heard if benelli is going to offer the vinci in a 3 1/2" version at the shotshow? or anything else new coming out? Quote
StrangerDanger Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 I'll take a look when I get there. Pretty sure my boss is sending me again. Quote
uscm Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Just realized that although I'm going, I forgot to buy my plane tickets. Gotta deal with that tonight. I miss the old days when I wasn't going there for work. Quote
cootcommander Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 Sounds like a tough job Stranger but I guess somebody has to do it. LOL Quote

mudhen Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 No word from our local rep on a 3.5" Vinci version. I've done several SHOT Shows. I hate them. Pass for now unless my badge can say Wal-Mart, Scheel's, Cab's, BPS, or someone they actually care about.... Quote
uscm Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 you poor thing, be glad you got one that allows you to go to shot, are we supposed to feel sorry for you Ha, no. Well, a couple days of walking the floor is kinda fun the first couple years you go. But when you have to spend the entire week in meetings and interfacing with people it gets old pretty fast. Work wise it helps a lot because everyone in the industry is collected together in the same place and you get to deal directly with vendors and manufacturers and build relations that would otherwise be hard to do strictly via emails and phone calls. Enjoyment wise ... it's not particularly thrilling because you end up working and not seeing a whole lot. I get in Sunday and it's pretty much non-stop till the following Saturday. Quote

I here you on meetings some are always better than others, but your on top of all the new things, and like you said the relationships you build are key, I am just jealous have a good time hope you get a little free time.
