The SHOT SHOW which is the largest gun, paramilitary and hunting show in the world starts today in LAS VEGAS with an introduction to the press of many of the new firearms, with an opportunity to test drive them on a range. The main show starts tomorrow at the Sands Convention Center, Las Vegas.
If you are not familiar with the SHOT SHOW, it is probably because it is a closed show, open only to the media, to distributors and dealers, as well as military and police representatives from around the world.
The show which will last through the week will provide us with a look into the future of hunting, the last trends, newest equipment, and will have a number of TV celebrities like KaCey Dixon and Cameron Hanes, just to name a couple will be dotted around the show floor and talking about their favorite gear. This show introduces the latest of not only every firearm manufacturers products, but air rifles, backpacks, tree stands, ATV's, flash lights, clothing, and much, much more. One such example of a new introduction is the Glock 30s, announced just today! Another, PENTAX RICOH IMAGING AMERICAS CORPORATION (PENTAX) today announced the introduction of a new mini waterproof red dot sight to its Gameseeker (tm) line of sport optics gear.
