SHOT Show is the world's largest and most comprehensive trade show for shooting, hunting and law enforcement industries, and the AmericanHunter.org team will be on hand at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev. from Monday, Jan. 14 to Friday, Jan. 18 in order to bring you all the latest news and releases.

The 2012 SHOT Show set a new record, attracting more than 61,000 attendees—including new highs for buyers at 36,383 and media at 2,466. You can trust the AmericanHunter.org staff to do everything in its power to make sure you feel like you're at the show in person—from blog posts to photo galleries to videos, we'll deliver all of the show's hottest items straight to you.
