It’s a day late, and I’m a few dollars short. As per the usual. I’m late in posting this because I wanted to get the SHOT Show 2022 Summery finished up. It is now live on the site and can be read here. It’s a longer read then usual but hopefully it has a few product highlights that have not made it on the typical gun rags.
For those who want the condense version here are a few thoughts on it. There has been a lot of rumors about attendance. It was sparse, but that was not a bad thing. Remember SHOT show is an opportunity for vendors, manufacturers, suppliers, and other supporting parties to meet up and discuss business. Yes it is a big to-do and everyone is displaying the cool and new product, but it is less about that and more about trying to make those connections.
So having fewer people there meant we actually able to get more done. Fewer people were kicking the tires and poking around, and more people were actually there to talk business. This made it a very productive trip for the folks who did go. Even though there were a few major vendors and gun companies that decided not to go, there was plenty to do and see. The biggest benefit of all of this was that you could walk at your own pace rather then the pace of the mob that typically clogs the aisles.
This made it feasible to actually see the whole show in a few days. I put in a little over 50,0000 steps covering about 25 miles in three days. However I saw a lot, and I got to talk to a lot of vendors. From that aspect, it was actually a really good show.
