SHOT on the tubes
From a presser:
Through special arrangement with SHOT Show organizers and select exhibitors, the nation’s hunters and shooters will be able to get an exclusive look at new firearms, ammunition and other exciting innovations on GunBroker.com at the same time they are announced to the trade. Starting on the show’s opening date of January 18, visitors to GunBroker.com will be able to learn about these products months before others may have a chance to see them.
“GunBroker.com has enjoyed a productive business relationship with the SHOT Show and with the National Shooting Sports Foundation for years, and we are extremely excited about this major expansion of our partnership,” commented Steve Urvan, GunBroker.com founder and CEO. “Also, we appreciate the tremendous support of our 1.6 million GunBroker.com users and three million monthly unique visitors in making our growth and success possible. We are pleased that we can bring this special service to our loyal supporters and new users in 2011.”
GunBroker.com’s special “2011 SHOT Show Product Center” will be open online from January 18 to March 1. Sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), the SHOT Show has long been the largest display of firearms and other hunting and shooting equipment in the world. Because the SHOT Show is a professional trade show closed to the public, the actual exhibits can be viewed only by professional retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and members of the media. The 2011 SHOT Show will be held in Las Vegas.

This is progress. Thanks GunBroker. The “little people” now get a glimpse inside.
From the SHOT Show website: “Attendance at the SHOT Show is RESTRICTED to the shooting, hunting and outdoor trade and commercial buyers and sellers of military, law enforcement and tactical products and services ONLY.” (Their caps emphasis, not mine.)
As a retail buyer and a taxpayer who pays for it, I kinda resent being excluded. Oh well, I guess its a good place to peddle plastic 9’s to cops. Back to my point: Thanks GunBroker.

Tenn, you’ve always been able to get real-time coverage of SHOT. Michael Bane, Gun Nuts Media, GunBlast, and a host of other online outlets have been giving from the floor updates on SHOT for years now.

Sorry but this was comedy gold:
“GunBroker.com is an informative, detailed, secure and safe way to buy and sell firearms and hunting/shooting accessories. “
Uh, no.
