There’s no doubt about it, the SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade) Show is a big deal. The largest and most comprehensive trade show for the shooting, hunting and law enforcement industries, SHOT Show attracts firearms retailers, manufacturers and outdoor media from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. Approximately 1,500 exhibitors are expected to set up shop at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev., and more than 50,000 attendees are anticipated to descend on this outdoor enthusiast’s paradise.

SHOT Show has plenty to offer, but ultimately the first thing the NRA Editors look for is the same thing you'd want to see yourself—the new hardware. It all starts on Monday, Jan. 16 with the annual Media Day at the Range.
