SHOT Show is Over! Here is the complete round up of posts from the show. We blogged 169 posts during the week.
Published: January 24th, 2015
This was definitely one of the better SHOT Shows I have been to. With demand for guns at a low (and will remain so for the next 18 months until the election cycle with all its drama takes hold), I had not expected so many new gun designs.
The TFB team, a total of 12 writers including myself and Phil, did an exceptional job of covering the show. I think it is safe to say we covered SHOT Show better than any other publication online of offline. I am very proud of our team. We blogged 169 posts over the five days of the show!
This show also saw the launch of our new YouTube Channel TFBTV. Alex and James did a great job filming at Media Day at the Range. I want to encourage y’all to subscribe to our YouTube channel.

I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Thanks for all the coverage. I hope you had time to have some fun too.
My impression from the coverage of this year's show was that probably upwards of 80% of the new products reported on (rifles, shotguns, handguns, optics and accessories) were in the "Tactical" vein, with probably the lowest proportion I can recall of items orientated specifically towards hunters, let alone target shooters.
Would you say this was a fair representation of the show itself, or has the tactical component been magnified through the lens of the media?
I've nothing against things tactical per se. It may be 1% need and 99% fashion, but fashion drives development and consumption and keeps everyone's ball rolling, and that's just fine.It's just that I wonder what's being lost from view behind the rolling barrage of picatinnied, mildotted and magpulled siny-ness.
I think this site was about the ONLY site with any information from SHOT. So much so that it has been suggested this was a fairly lackluster year for SHOT. Seems not to be the case based on this post.
I wasn't there, but there seemed to be a distinct lack of big name introductions this year.
