The SHOT (Shooting, Hunting,
Outdoor Trade) Show is a Las
Vegas, Nevada-based annual
international trade show for the
shooting, hunting, and firearms
industry.
It is the biggest event of this
type in the world, together with
IWA & OutdoorClassics (“IWA
Nuremberg”), which also takes
place annually in Germany. The
SHOT Show is restricted to
members of the shooting, hunting,
military and outdoor trade
industry including commercial
buyers and sellers of military, law
enforcement and tactical products.
It is not open to the general
public.
The first SHOT Show was held
in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1979.
The show is owned and sponsored
by the National Shooting Sports
Foundation. It used to rotate
between Las Vegas, Nevada;
Orlando, Florida; New Orleans,
Louisiana, and several other U.S.
cities, although in the last few
years it has taken place only in
Las Vegas and is contracted to
remain there through 2027. It
attracted over 60,000 attendees
to its 630,000sq/ft of exhibition
space in Las Vegas. It is among
the top 25 trade shows in the US.
More than 60,000 professionals
in the shooting, hunting, outdoors
and law enforcement industry
attended SHOT Show in 2019.
The show brought over $88
million in non-gaming revenue
to the Las Vegas economy with
exhibitors, buyers, media and
other industry professionals
hailing from all 50 states and
more than 110 countries.
