Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa DSC?

Getting a day pass for Friday. I live an hour north of the city.

Coming in Wednesday and heading out Sunday. Should be a blast. My father had an exceptional hunt with Alex McDonald in Mozambique in 2018. He got a 44.5” Cape with the double and some really good plains game. If anyone is looking for a great buffalo hunt, give McDonald Safaris a visit. I have Alex’s contact if you want to schedule a visit at the show.

Our PH from Tanzania in 2015 said Reno wasn’t a good show for him.

Sorry I don't. Been here for 20years, but Poetry is a big area with a Christian school, 3 churches, Taxidermist, and a feed store. I'm a member of the Terrell Pistol and Rifle club.
Wasn't aware of a range, but most of us can shoot on our own property. I've heard of a bird hunting place in Yantis around Lake Fork. Probably 45 minutes away.

I'll be there Thursday midday and all day Friday.

Fly home early Saturday.

I'll be working the EuroOptic booth, showing the Blaser R8. Stop by.

Biebs there with you?

jorge and Jeff (Hatari) are buying the beer at 3pm Friday afternoon.

Not for you LOL!!!

He said he was coming but he's not working the booth.

JGRaider, are you coming to Dallas?

No....

Great show today! My recommendations to see:

1. Rigby has some exquisite rifles and shotguns under glass at their safari-camp theme booth

2. Rock Island Auction Company has a Singer 1911 on display.

3. In the Custom Gunsmith/Gunmaker corral:

a. Case-It. Gun case maker Gary Nicholson drove all the way here from Grant's Pass, Oregan, and he makes really nice cases, and had a Borchardt pistol on display as well as his own Swiss Luger. But, ask him to show you his pictures of the uber-rare Luger's/Mausers/1911's he's made cases for. One of his customers is a SERIOUS Luger/Mauser collecter and I saw some pictures of models I didn't know existed (20-rd Broomhandle Mauser among others).

b. Mook Machine Works. This gentleman has some 1800's single-shot rifles that are a joy to hold, outstanding engraving and case color hardening. He's very enthusiastic about single-shots and his craftsmanship is top-notch.

I am meeting my son tomorrow around noon or so. He is just back at A&M and lucked out with no classes on Friday and a slow first week. I need to talk with Doug Turnbull on some SxS work I sent him.

Attendee count was much higher than at Reno at SCI. It’s obvious that, once again, DSC will rate higher than SCI.

His shop is 45 minutes from me

Damn, wish I had known that. It’s a great show . my Namibian buddy is well pleased and reduced his booth commitment at SCI next year from 2 spaces to 1 and no coerced “donation “. Bought an own-use elephant hunt and a few others smaller items so far.

I spoke with two exhibitors yesterday who were emphatic that they were done with SCI.

They love Dallas and are thinking they will do Houston instead of SCI.

I did buy Jorge a brew yesterday, you ran off! German place next door was very good?🍺🍺🍺

Jorge,
Came by the booths where you were reported to be , but was told you had just left - both times!
Did you have a lookout posted?
Anyhow it was a good show and we accomplished our objectives AND discovered a new place soon opening that is crawling with black bear and boars so I had to move on. Maybe next year.

Show bonus - we saw Colonel Allen West in the NRA Hospitality Suite and my wife had her picture taken with him.

I hope you like the warm weather today! It has snowed back here on the farm.

I'm hearing that daily in the exhibitor breakfast. SCI has some make up work to do in order to keep pace. Otherwise, it may be reduced to chapter shows and conventions.
