SHOT Show 2001 pics
Friday, January 12, 2001
Yet another day has passed at the SHOT Show and I am about as tired and sore as I can get. So, in place of trying to tell you something of what I've seen, I thought I'd share a few pictures with you. Enjoy!
This is my view as I approach the Convention Center. This is a tiny corner of the Morial Convention Center.
It's hard to tell, but these rather huge bridges pass right over the convention center. In the foreground you can see part of the building. Being a country boy, I thought this was notable.
This is the view in one direction, looking down the main aisle...
...and this is looking the other way from the same place. This is about the halfway point - it stretches literally about a half-mile in either direction.
This is a double ladder stand by Big Oak Outdoors. Several manufacturers offer double-wide ladders - more stand info to come in upcoming treestand coverage.
Browning's extensive display of firearms.
Remington's hands-on display seemed to offer the most guns - it was certainly the most crowded.
Ruger's classy-looking display.
Redfield is back in the variable-power scope marketplace, under the same ownership as Weaver and Simmons.
I hope you enjoyed these pics. I will naturally have a series of related articles in the coming weeks, about what's new in different areas of the hunting and shooting world.
