Mid-January is that time of year when I pack up my gear for the annual Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show in Las Vegas known as SHOT Show.
Armed with a press pass, I will again assault Media Day at the Range and the Show floor to bring back any battlefield pick-ups of information I can record on my reconnoiter.
I already published articles about two guns that will be “introduced” at the Show: the Glock 42 and S&W M&P Bodyguard 380. I have been receiving press releases non-stop for the last several months about new products that can be seen at SHOT. With over 1,600 exhibitors on hand, it is calculated that if you tried to visit every booth during the four days of the floor, you could only spend 22 seconds at each one. You will walk over 12 miles if you traverse the entire vendor space. Last year, 62,000+ attendees and 2,500 media professionals descended upon the SHOT Show. It is a crazy place for sure.
I am again looking forward to the Media Day at the Range. This is the fun day when print, broadcast, and Internet journalists get to actually shoot the new toys in sunny and possibly chilly Boulder City. Hey, guns I get to shoot 1) with free ammo and 2) that I don’t have to clean? Sweet.
Stay by the monitor…
