The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the trade association for the firearms industry, today announced that it has reached an agreement with Reed Exhibitions to terminate the agreement the parties had for the management of the SHOT Show. Accordingly, effective immediately, Reed Exhibitions will no longer be manager and producer of the SHOT Show.
Reed Exhibitions provided excellent service to NSSF and the customers of the SHOT Show for more than three decades, however, the company’s decision to restrict the sale of certain types of firearms this year at its consumer hunting and fishing show — an event unrelated to NSSF and the SHOT Show — was in conflict with NSSF’s mission to serve the shooting sports industry. As a result, both organizations decided it was in the best interest of the SHOT Show to end their relationship.
NSSF is actively engaged in the process of identifying a new show management company to manage and produce the SHOT Show beginning with the 2014 SHOT Show.
The SHOT Show — the Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show — is owned and sponsored by NSSF. It is the largest and most comprehensive trade show for all professionals involved with the shooting sports, hunting and law enforcement industries. The 2014 SHOT Show will be held Jan. 14-17 at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas.
Thank you NSSF for taking a stand.
This is good news.
Great news!! Great move!!!
THANK YOU NSSF !!!!
So glad to see you take a stand for what’s right!
Good i would love to see Reed fold as well as Dicks sporting goods and Cheaper then Dirt.All three can suck it.
Maybe they can form a new corporation. Reeds Dirty Dick promotions.
LMAO !!!
cheaper than dirt was the first co. to bow out of the gun classified business when other co’s. were being sued by the brady campaign …why are they held in such high regard in the firearms industry?
Outstanding!
I am glad that NSSF decided to take a stand against the anti-gun folks at Reed. I knew that it was only a matter of time before that liberal UK group decided to sabotage the American shooters/hunters. Time for me to join NSSF.
We have found that NSSF has a spine! Bravo!
I knew there was a good reason why I joined NSSF THANK YOU for standingup for our rights
Good, maybe we can book space this year. Reed always acted as if there was no more floor space. We always see unused floor space. NSSF, we will be glad to pay a premium for that unused space.
why don’t they come to Louisville ky so some of us from this area can go
