My wife and I went and took my oldest nephew, we were there for a whole hour. It was ok, but, I thought of a lot of things that could make it better, I know it's the first one, but, now, they can look for bringing in better crowd pleasing events. The one thing that really turned me off was, they had the 3-d archery tournament inside of this little metal building out back with the targets all set up in a row beside each other, there was no yardage increases with the targets, the really bad part was, you could only fit about 10-15 people in there at the door. It should be held outside where everyone can see what's going on, it was not very appealing, I also think the 3-d should have been held in elimination standard like you see on TV.
Basically this 1st annual event was "vendor fair" there was not really much else too appealing. I wasn't really happy with all the events being spread out over a 9 hour period, basically you'd have to go see something, leave and go shopping for a few hours and then come back, they should over an all day pass so you can come and go as you need to. I could make many other suggestions, but, the insurance requirements would not allow it.
In closing, I don't know what they could to make the event survive in the future, with out a the inclusion of a lot of insurance coverage. I knew a lot of the guys that were there and since then I have talked to several of them and they said they didn't stay much past an hour either, long story short, none of them were really excited with the expo.
Conclusion:
We got there at 10:00am and by 11:00am I had come to the final call that I wanted my $5.00 back.
