First thing that came to mind when I entered the convention center was WOW! Over 20,000 booths on multiple levels, it literally was the largest gathering of industry folks in the world. This was my first time at the Show and I must say, this will NOT be my last.
All the major firearms manufacturing companies were there. Not to mention the big names in shooting sports and accessories too. I met a ton of some of the biggest names in the industry such as Julie G (Smith and Wesson Shooting Team), Iain Harrison (Season 1 of Top Shot Winner), the entire Red Jacket crew from “Son of Guns”, The Incredible Hulk Lou Ferrigno, Mike Seeklander (competitive shooter and Instructor), And tons of other folks from around the shooting world.
I also got the opportunity to sit down with Rob Pincus from I.C.E. Training Company and some of his instructors from all over the world. It was awesome to meet with a group of firearms instructors with such a wealth of knowledge and experience. Keep your eyes peeled for what’s to come out of that camp; all I can say is great things are coming!
All in all it was a great experience! I literally walked 20 miles the 2 days I was there and I didn’t even scratch the surface. I would strongly suggest getting out to that show if you are in the industry. There really isn’t enough space to go into all the great detail, so I suggest you go experience it for yourself!
Until next time,
Stay Safe…
