Day three of SHOT Show was another amazing day. We did our best to make a dent in what there was left to see. Our favorite gun of the day was this 1911 from Cabot Guns. The slide is made of damascus steel and the grips are made from mammoth tooth. This is one beautiful handgun.
We were able to meet Brian Zins and William Bethards from Top Shot. We are both huge fans of the show and were super excited to meet them and really enjoyed talking to them. They are both former Marines and are competitive shooters. Brian is a 12 time national pistol champion. William has won national and state 3-gun championships. He also won the Gold Lauchheimer trophy which is awarded each year to the top rifle and pistol shooter in the Marine Corps.
As we made our way through the show we began to notice a theme...very large and very cool trucks. They are completely decked out with huge tires, gadgets, and amazing paint jobs. Now, if only we could pack a few guns from the show and drive one of them home.
At the end of the day, we were fortunate to run into actor Michael Rooker and competitive shooters Taran Butler and Julie Golob. Taran Butler and Julie Golob are world champion shooters and I am sure you have seen at least a few movies or tv shows such as The Walking Dead with Michael Rooker. All I can say is WOW! I was really starstruck and Gene practically had to pick my jaw up off the floor. I was like a giddy little girl, but then it is appropriate since I am one. Not only are all the people we met extremely talented but they are super nice too.
We topped off the day by going to dinner with friends at Hash House A Go Go. We have never seen such large servings of food and it was fantastic. Without a doubt we ate way too much but with all of the walking we did we earned it.
