SHOT Show 2025 kicks off on Monday, January 20, 2025 with Industry Day at the Range. We’ll have friends there at the Boulder City Range testing new rifles and pistols, and checking out new optics and accessories. Then on Tuesday, January 22nd, the doors open at the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum. Over 2700 companies will be exhibiting products this year, with booths and displays covering over 800,000 square feet of floor space. Show organizers expect over 50,000 attendees.

SHOT Show is restricted to industry professionals — manufacturer personnel, buyers/sellers of products, and media representatives. But thankfully, there will be lots of coverage from the event. We’ll be providing regular updates through our Daily Bulletin. In addition, we’ll be following SHOT Show coverage from leading gun-related YouTube Channels, including BackFire, Guns America Digest, The Firearm Blog (TFB-TV), RECOIL Magazine, and Ultimate Reloader. And below are official pages from the show website:

SHOT Show 2024 commences two weeks from now in Las Vegas, Nevada. On January 23, doors will open at the Venetian EXPO and Caesars Forum. Over 2500 companies will be exhibiting products this year, with booths and displays covering over 800,000 square feet of floor space. The SHOT Show boasts 13.9 miles of aisles — a distance more than half a marathon.

If you will be attending SHOT Show, the SHOT Show Tracker is a great digital resource you should definitely utilize. Everything you need to know about NSSF’s 2024 SHOT Show is detailed in the 2024 SHOT Show Tracker publication. It’s packed with show schedules, networking details, education descriptions, exhibitor lists, and a sneak peek of the products being displayed.

In the table below are the key features in the SHOT Show Tracker. This is available online for free. Click any box to see more details — such as the full Exhibitor List or Floor Plan Maps:

Headed to SHOT Show in January 2020? Then you should check out the full floor plan of the event before you head to Las Vegas. Locating companies in the vast Sands Expo Center can be difficult — there are thousands of exhibitor booths spread across multiple floors. In addition, the aisle/booth numbering system in the Sands Expo can be very confusing for first time visitors.

You can plan your SHOT Show experience with a searchable, interactive online SHOT Show Floor Plan. This shows all the exhibitors on all the floors. To find a particular company, use the “Search” field (upper left). Or, to browse, you can click on the menu icon (three lines above the printer symbol). For example, here we used the Search Field to locate Capstone Precision Group, parent of Berger, Lapua, Vihtavuori, and SK.

There is also a separate map for the upper Supplier Showcase zone. This area, above the main floor, has smaller displays set up in the aisles of the conference area. Over 500 companies will have products on display. To access this map, simply click on the Supplier Showcase Tab on the SHOT Show Floorplan website. Then use the search function to locate companies. You can also move your curser around the map and company names will appear when the cursor selects a particular booth. Here we’ve located RUAG Ammotec USA.
