SHOT Show was crazy. So many people to see, so many guns to handle and not nearly enough time to do it all. This year SHOT `14 was the best organized SHOT I have attended. Despite having a record 67,000 people in attendance, the show floor felt less crowded and chaotic than in past years. Good job NSSF.

We published 122 posts during the show, with many posts published since the show ended and many more to come. As biased as I am, I think we had hands down the best and most comprehensive SHOT Show coverage online.

I am so proud of my team of writers who covered the show. They did an amazing job and I cannot thank or praise them enough. SHOT is incredibly tiring and while most attendees are heading back to their hotel rooms to sleep, casinos to gamble or bars for a Margarita, our bloggers were busy communicating what they saw that day to all of you. Our SHOT Team in alphabetical order was Aaron, Alex, Anette, Bryan, Chris, Edward, Ethan, Murdoc, Phil, Ray, Richard and Sam. Many of our writers were also posting to their personal blogs about SHOT Show, so go take a look at their blogs for even more coverage of the show.

I got a number of emails from readers congratulating us for the coverage. One reader wrote …

Hey, I just wanted to give you a huge thanks for the excellent SHOT show coverage.  I was there last year and understand how overwhelming it is.  It is even harder to fight the other bloggers and find the gems of the show.
