November 2010NASGW 2010 Annual Meetings & Expo Wrap Up 
Greetings!

This year's NASGW show was held in Louisville, Kentucky. Laura Burgess Marketing attended the wholesaler show for the first time in eight years. We were glad to finally meet face to face our clients MasterPiece Arms, ISSC-Austria and MG Industries. We also stopped by BLACKHAWK! and American Technologies Network to see how the year was shaping up for them. Word in the aisles was lots of new members! Next year's economy is going to be a tough one for everyone, but spirits were high.

LBM visited our clients to get the latest on what's happening and along the way took some additional video and pictures of some of our industry friends. Check out their videos, see the pictures and make plans to visit their booths at SHOT Show.

Sincerely,

Laura Burgess
