SHOT Show
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The SHOT Show is an annual tradeshow for the shooting, hunting and firearms industry. It is the biggest event of this type in the world together with IWA Nuremberg taking place also annually. "SHOT", besides being a general reference to shooting, is an acronym for "Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade" (show). This trade show is open only to those in the trade and the press. It is not open to the general public.
The first SHOT Show was held in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1979. The show is owned and sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation. It rotates between Las Vegas, Nevada, Orlando, Florida, New Orleans, Louisiana and several other U.S. cities, although in the last few years it has taken place mostly in Las Vegas.
