The impact of COVID was clearly noticeable at this year’s SHOT SHOW, smaller attendance, a number of the large exhibitors were totally absent, those who attended had reduced staffing, mask mandates needed to be enforced, and then of course there was the planning and allocation of space at the Caesars Forum, but nothing was unsurmountable, and as customary, the folks at NSSF did a great job pulling it all together to deliver an outstanding event for the Industry and the City of Las Vegas.

If you were an exhibitor and didn’t attend, this is how you made your presence felt

When have you ever visited a Glock booth that you didn’t have to wade through a mass of people ?

Nevertheless, SHOT SOW 2022 was a success and throughout February I’ll be covering some of the exhibitors that impressed me the most, and at the top of that list is Mantis. Wait until you see what they’re up to.
