SHOT Show gunning for new business
Jan 17, 2007
It's a great time to be a hired gun. That was the clear message coming from this year's SHOT Show held Jan. 11-14 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla. The show's "law enforcement" section rattled with energy, and this segment of the shooting market is growing faster than a speeding bullet.

Tucked between the SIA.05 Show in Vegas and Outdoor Retailer Winter Market in Salt Lake City is a largely ignored but potentially lucrative trade show for the outdoor industry -- the SHOT Show. Owned by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the 27th annual SHOT Show, Jan. 28-31 at the Las Vegas Convention Center outstripped SIA and Outdoor Retailer in terms of attendance and energy according to our eyes on the scene who experienced the vibe at all three shows.

SHOT Show loses camo bikinis, but keeps energy high
Mar 24, 2004
Though this year's SHOT show -- February 12-15 in Las Vegas -- didn't have the same "edge" as last year (it took our reporter only 10 minutes in 2003 to locate a camouflage bikini and three fake deer -- two male and one female -- mounting each other) attendance still set an all-time record at 19,811 dealers, 993 media, 12,200 exhibitors all running around like deer in heat over 529,000 square feet of space.

SHOT Show: Humongous -- Worth an Eye From OR Exhibitors
Mar 4, 2002
Let's be clear from the start: The SHOT show is mammoth. We do mean huge. It dwarfs Outdoor Retailer in floor space, exhibitors, buyers, and overall attendance. And the 2002 show was the biggest ever, with 495,000 square feet of space sold-out for the first time, according to SHOT. There were 1,400 exhibitors, and a post-show report showed 18,549 buyers attended the show, just 200 shy of the record. Overall, 2002 attendance was 31,038, which included 11,184 exhibitors and 1,305 media representatives. With those kinds of numbers, it's no surprise SHOT is the 36th largest trade expo in the county.

Fitnex E55SG Elliptical
Sep 14, 2011
So many ellipticals can be large and pricy, and the though the smaller ones may have a lower price tag, what they give up to get there makes for a more wobbly ride that’s not as much fun. The Fitnex E55SG elliptical manages to be rather petite but still can hold its own when a user pushes it hard.
