The New Year is here—and with it comes one of the most important events that our staff covers, SHOT Show. SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade) Show represents the world's largest and most comprehensive trade show for the shooting, hunting and law enforcement industries—so you can expect that the AmericanHunter.org staff will be on hand, in force. We'll be on the scene at the Sands Expo & Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nev., from Monday, Jan. 13 to Friday, Jan. 17 in order to bring you all the latest news and product releases.

The largest trade show of its kind in the world and the fifth largest trade show that makes it home in Las Vegas, SHOT Show features more than 1,600 exhibitors and covers more than 630,000 net square feet. You can trust that the AmericanHunter.org staff will do everything in its power to make sure you feel like you're right beside us on the show floor in the coming weeks. From new product videos to blog posts and photo galleries, we're set to bring all of the show's hottest items straight to your web browser or mobile device.

Check back throughout the week, and be sure to "Like" us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter so you can see everything as we get our hands on it. Be sure to register for the American Hunter Insider newsletter, too, so you receive the special SHOT Show edition that'll go out next week.
