The Shot Show - Las Vegas

[ExSCA]

Just had a mail from Henry - who is lucky enough to be over visiting the Shot Show in Las Vegas...some of his notes.... and some photos below.

• There are 61,000 visitors and around 30,000 exibitors, here in Las Vegas. The big news at Beretta is the new A400 20 gauge. There are several barrel lenghts and "Kickoff" is available making it the softest shooting 20! They also showed the new 692 series. Of, course this is a competion model and no hunter versions are made. The shotgun feels very lively. It is assembled presently on the regular previous 682 line. But, some finishing is done in the Premium gun shop.
  
• The new buzz is at CZ with their semi autos, CZ912.
• Fausti had a very nice display of their fine shotguns.
• Winchester came out with a new way to see where your shot is going. The wad keeps 1/8 Oz of shot during its flight therefore it keeps up near the center of the shot cloud.

Thanks to Henry for keeping us posted on the goings on there.

Sounds like a clever idea!

Sounds like the waste of an 1/8th oz of shot to me, unless that gives the wad some killing power

I'm going to Vegas on business at the beginning of March. It's a pretty tight schedule, so I wondered if anyone could recommend a good gun shop fairly close to the centre?

Thanks

But might help some of us new shooters though.

I remember a while ago I watched a bloke using tracer shells to train someone? Good idea I guess but apparently really expensive

If you mean a store with range rentals then, here http://www.lasvegasgunrange.net/ and here http://store.thegunstorelasvegas.com/ are a short taxi ride from the strip. I discovered that I would trade my SC3 for a M4 or M16 any day of the week.

Go full auto, you know it makes sense.
