Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show NSSF's SHOT Show brings together buyers and sellers from the U.S. and more than 100 countries and has long been a bellwether for the industry's prospects. The 2015 SHOT Show rang up its second highest attendance ever last month, reflecting that the firearms industry is in good health and that manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers have a positive outlook for the coming year. SHOT Show is a trade-only show and is not open to the public, but NSSF has compiled in this section several resources for those who were unable to attend. Here's a look inside the 2015 SHOT Show and at some of the new products that'll be seen on retailers' shelves during the course of the year.
