Just because they can skate doesn't mean that they understand the game.

Being an event planner and understanding how to put the event on the right way is important for sure.

It doesn't take a genius to see that SHOT Show is the main funding for the SSF every year.

I do think that there's a little bit of a connection that's lost

with the guys on the floor.

And you know, and I mean, us the vendors on the floor, you know, them reaching out to us,

And saying, hey, you know, what can we do to work with you?

Or what are things that you're seeing that you need?

You know, instead of doing like a little survey every once in a while that, you know, falls on deaf ears.

You know, that's a little bit of where my frustration comes into play.

But, you know, I have to watch what I say anything publicly.

You'll get banned.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, and I'm not going to deny how I feel, but also I'm not going to bang a drum.

And this I will be completely blunt about.

It's very frustrating for me to watch somebody taking pictures of our holsters, not allowing us to even engage with them and interact with them.

And then I get emails three, four freaking months later of them trying to sell me my own product at a cheaper price, thinking that they made it better than me.

And it's very frustrating.

It is.
