Doug from Camera Land is off to SHOT Show Next Week
Now that the new year has arrived it means many things to many people:
A new calendar
A fresh start
Resolutions that may or may not stick
SHOT Show
For the purpose of this writing SHOT Show is what January brings. As in years past I have a VERY full plate.
As of this writing I have appointments with (yes, in order):
Athlon, Steiner, Meopta, Hawke, Bushnell, Carson, Vanguard, Swarovski, Kowa, Konus, ScopeCoat, Leica, Schmidt & Bender, Leupold, Sig Sauer, GPO, Minox, Burris, Pulsar, Nightforce & Zeiss as well as a couple of distributors that we work with so when the manufacturers back order product we can still get our hands on it for you.
As in years past I am looking to add some new lines this year to try to expand our offerings. Of course only with quality products we feel would be beneficial to you.
This year there's a few things I'm looking forward to:
We became a Sig dealer last month. I really have limited knowledge of their products and am excited to learn and meet the folks there.
After many years of trying to become an authorized NightForce dealer I am hopeful this will become a reality at SHOT. I have been speaking with a wonderful rep there for months and I look forward to working together with them, assuming they give the OK. I do have an appointment with them so it's promising.
I've done some pre-show legwork to arrange for some close-out deals on 2018 product so keep an eye out for some great deals.
Here's a sneak peak of new product:
Zeiss:
