I have been known to sleep excessively before. I might even list it as a hobby if you asked me. But after four days of Shot Show 2012, I have set a new record! I came home Saturday and slept for 18 hours. That’s right, I beat out the last record (15) by a solid three additional hours. Many of you are wondering if this is because I spent many late nights out on the town. After all, we were in Vegas. Rest assured that I was in bed early each night of Shot, trying to get as much sleep in my amazingly cozy Treasure Island bed as I could. I am somewhat of a cozy bed connoisseur since I spend so much time napping all over the world. Treasure Island beds rate pretty high. I was simply tuckered out from working so hard at the show each day, sharing my Olympic path.

I think I met even more people this year than last year! I also got to sit in on the WOMA booth and meet some amazing women.  I did a few interviews, one for GearScout’s Blog, which has already come out. You can find the link to that on the LINKS page of my website. I’ll keep you updated as others show up. In addition to manning the USA Shooting booth, I also spent time in ELEY and Howard Leight both of which were fantastic. Eley makes the best .22 ammunition in the world and is gracious enough to sponsor the US Team. I am always proud to represent them. Howard Leight makes wonderful ear protection and eyewear. I use their soft ear plugs every day and they’re red, white, and blue!

I am already looking forward to next years’s show and seeing all the new gear, meeting more folks in the industry and representing Team USA again!
