SHOT SHow 2006

February 22nd, 2006 David King - King's Outdoor World

I had the opportunity to go down to the SHOT SHow in Las Vegas. I saw some great new products and was able to meet with some great people. I had a chance to meet up with Ted Nugent and talk with him for a minute. He signed a copy of the Nuge Factor in Hunting Illustrated for me and told me what a good job we are doing with the magazine.

I went down with our Marketing VP Travis Osmond and we both had a chance to see some great new products. Many of these you will be seeing in our upcoming Gear Guide in Hunting Illustrated. There are some great new optics that are hitting the market this year. Leupold and Zies had some exciting products and it seems like there is a big push for built-in rangefinders for both rifle scopes and binoculars.

I was able to see some great whitetail heads there and you may see them in a future King’s Calendar. There was also some big news for some new outdoor shows for this year. Browning is teaming up with Mossy Oak to put together a new TV show. Also, Leupold and Boone and Crockett are joining forces for a new TV program as well.

There is no question the SHOT Show is the beast of all hunting shows, and this year was no different.
