After SHOT

Posted Jan. 25th at 11:59 p.m.

Some of the early reports from SHOT are already up. NSSF reports that the 2012 show was a record breaker with over 61,000 in attendance.  Buyers were checking out the new products and the media was there in full force as well. Lots of friends stopped by the CZ-USA booth  to take a look at their favorite models and see what the news was on 2012 releases.  Dan Wesson fan Uncle Ted happened dropped in for a visit, of course Tom Knapp was a regular at the booth as well.

The bloggers and e-media folks got the scoop from the CZ and DW staff on a plethora of new products. For those who couldn't be there, but would like to see some of the high points, here are just a few of the reports:
