Too busy to take pictures...sorry. However, 'burbs had to contend with me squealing like a 14-year old girl whenever I saw a famous competitive shooter. Rob Leatham, Doug Keonig, Jerry Micelek, Jim Clark. Finally, my inner fanboy overwhelmed when I saw Jessie Duff and burbs DEMANDED (demanded, I say) that I get a picture with her.

Oh, OK, one more. Bill wanted me to buy this safe...not even close to being big enough. Seriously...come back when it is room sized.
ST,
Thanks for the update!

Your stats show the power of a membership driven org (geez, I sound like a broken record)
So I've been scouring the net looking for some evidence that AS even had a booth at the NRA show this year. Couldn't find anything but one photo of ST with a pretty woman. ^-^
Hey! WE WANT AN IAAR on Appleseed at the NRA show! Throw us a bone here... ;)
With the way the highlights are around ST's head and the slight color differentiation around him, it looks like he may have photoshopped himself into that photo.
just sayin'
