They do attend the meetings. I sat next to the owner of Bob's in Longview last go around. Sportco and other retailers,Three Rivers marine, even the owner of North River boats took time from the busy schedule to testify to backup the NSIA representation. It appears to me like DFW aways manages to schedule meetings like this while the boat or sportsman's shows are going on; vendors are are streched out covering the retail location plus the show.

Kudos to the folks going the extra mile to represent the a more responsible use of our public resources.
