SHOT Show 2012

Shot Show 2012 marked the beginning of a banner year for the firearms and sporting goods industry. Part of the PSA PRO Team, Keith Garcia, Bob Krogh and I, went to the show to check out all the happenings! For Keith and Bob, it was their first year and they were impressed at the sheer size and diversity of the show.

I have been an industry professional for many years and it was heartwarming to see the brisk pace of new business being done this year. I don’t think that the current president is as much of an incentive to gun sales as many would like to credit him. I think the American public is ready for change in the direction that THEY want to go!

We have expanded our industry partners program this year. In addition to VihtaVuori, Lapua, Nightforce, Kowa, Safariland, Berry’s Mfg. SPOT Messenger, Kestrel Wind Meters and others, we have added many new sponsors. We will be using their products in our training courses this year. Stay tuned for further information!

There were many new products to look at and we will be reporting on them throughout the coming months. PSA Members will have the opportunity to see our advanced product evaluations which will cover each product in depth and give members an opportunity to purchase at a savings!

All in all, a great show!
