LAS VEGAS — SHOT Show, the shooting, hunting and outdoor industry’s largest trade show was held Feb. 2-5 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. This year was a banner year for the show, smashing records in its 30th year, posting new highs in attendance, exhibition space, exhibiting companies and media turnout. Anybody who had any type of relationship with hunting, shooting, outdoors, and tactical equipment was probably there.

The show comprised 715,000 square feet of exhibit space, a gain of nearly 60,000 over last year, with 1,950 exhibiting companies, up from last year’s 1,870.

With a total registered attendance of 58,769, the show eclipsed last year’s attendance record of 42,216. The show attracted 30,686 buyers, 1,725 members of the press, 25,854 exhibiting personnel and 504 guests.
