ATA 2011

The ATA show was held in the Indianapolis Convention Center in the USA from the 6th to the 9th of January 2011.

Andre (Bow Stuff Director) meets Chuck Adams (Bowhunting legend and celebrity)

What an honour! We see his name everywhere, we see his signature on a lot of products! Shaking hands with the legend was quite an experience.

The Hoyt Exhibition Stand

As always, Hoyt had a large fantastic looking stand. It featured all the new Hoyt bows for 2011, as well as some of the proven bows from 2010.

The Fuse accessories stand can be seen in the background.

Trophy Ridge Rocket Broadheads

Trophy Ridge had an interesting addition to their stand. Its a real life replica of the special chain saw featured in the Rocket Broadheads adverts. This was quite a crowd pleaser, due to the unique design.

This custom built chain saw featured all the Rocket broadheads mounted on the chainsaw blade. Very impressive!

Easton Stand

The Easton stand also looked quite impressive, and professionally constructed. They featured several archery celebrities during each day that handed out Easton gifts and signed autographs.

Snow in Indianapolis

We had some great weather! The snow started on the same day the ATA show started. Temperatures differed between -15 and +2 degrees. It may seem excessive if you are used to South African warmth, but its really not that bad! If you have the right type of clothing, and mostly stay indoors, you will be fine.
