SHOT: Ammo, mags at Industry Day (24 PICS)
Take a quick tour of the ammo and magazines one display and used during the 13th Annual SHOT Show Industry Day at the Range, which kicks off 2018’s Shooting Hunting Outdoor Trade Show in Las Vegas.
During Monday’s event, a host of exhibitors show off their latest and greatest to outdoor and gun media. The event is open to 1,400 invited media members and 800 buyers who gather at the Boulder Rifle and Pistol Club to try out the freshest guns and ammo from across the industry.
“With over 200 manufacturers exhibiting, and over 500,000 rounds of ammunition shot, Industry Day is the premier shooting event in the industry, giving outdoor media and buyers the opportunity to shoot and test new products for the upcoming year,” according to the NSSF.
