2015 SHOT Show Specialties

The 2015 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, seemed bigger than ever, that is if anyone could have seen it in total. Then with the restrictions on those who are now allowed into the show being limited to displayers, buyers and media, fewer consumers were there to see what was new, leaving them to read about it afterwards. Even though I average more than eight miles each day walking the show, I certainly didn’t see it all, but I did get the feeling that there was definitely more of every thing. Here are some of the more interesting things I found, some of which you’ve heard about and some I’m sure you have not. You’re sure to hear more about them in the near future.

Well, there you have it; a few of the things introduced at the SHOT Show this year that caught my fancy. You’ll be reading and seeing a lot more about them in the coming months, so stay tuined.
