When I go to a show as a vendor, I want to achieve two things: create space in my home, and convert my junk into cash. I have developed tactics to help. Here’s a checklist for the casual seller.

Battenfeld has some great new gadgets for 2016. AR barrel cooling fans, Mag loaders, long range target cameras, and upside down chronographs. Check out what we found at SHOT Show 2016.

Air-guns have evolved. Airforce is making some guns now in calibers that may surprise you. Check out what you can do with compressed air. SHOT Show.

Meopta has a new line of red dots that are so low that they’ll co-witness with factory sights. And that’s just the start. Check out what’s new fro our coverage of SHOT Show 2016.

Liberty has expanded their Fatboy line, and have more small safe storage options. If you are looking for either portable security options, or mammoth safes, Liberty has options. Check out the SHOT Show coverage.
