New Exhibitor Registration for Industry Day at the Range 2026 Now Open

Thursday, April 17th, 2025

BOULDER CITY, Nev. – April 15, 2025 – SHOT Show® Industry Day at the Range, the annual event leading up to SHOT Show®, is excited to announce that registration for new exhibitors is now open. The 21st annual event will take place on January 19, 2026, at the Boulder Rifle and Pistol Club in Boulder City, Nevada. Building on the success of last year’s event, which attracted over 2,600 attendees, Industry Day continues to be the ultimate platform for industry professionals, media and buyers to preview cutting-edge products before they officially launch.

With over two hundred leading brands expected to exhibit, Industry Day offers an unparalleled opportunity for exhibitors to showcase their latest innovations while connecting with key industry stakeholders and generating buzz around their products.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) has renewed its title sponsorship of the event through 2028, continuing to make Industry Day at the Range the only range event officially associated with SHOT Show. This partnership allows for the vetting of all attendees through NSSF’s registration system to ensure that only qualified, invited guests attend.

“As we prepare for the 21st annual Industry Day, we are excited to welcome both new and returning exhibitors to the range,” said Kelsey Puryear, Industry Day at the Range manager. “This event continues to be a platform for connecting with industry professionals, media and buyers, and we look forward to seeing everyone at the 2026 event.”

In response to exhibitor feedback, the event will remain invitation only, but with an exciting new change. The afternoon portion will now be open to all SHOT Show attendees, including buyers and additional team members. This adjustment allows exhibitors to invite more guests who may have previously desired to attend. The morning session will remain dedicated to media, influencers and ambassadors. All attendees must be registered for SHOT Show, and non-exhibiting manufacturers are not eligible to participate.

New exhibitors are encouraged to secure their space promptly as availability is limited. The 2026 Industry Day at the Range will once again be held the day preceding SHOT Show at the Boulder Rifle and Pistol Club in Boulder City, Nevada, on Monday, January 19, 2026.

New exhibitors can register now to secure their space. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. For additional details and answers to frequently asked questions, please visit the event website.

4D Tactical SOF Cap Now Available in Woodland Camo

Thursday, January 30th, 2025

Unveiled during last week’s SHOT Show, the Woodland version of the 4D Tactical SOF Cap has all of the same great features.

It utilizes Galvion’s BATLSKIN fitband system, which is found in their Caiman Helmet product line. Additionally, the SOF Cap is fully compatible with all versions of TNVC’s MOHAWK Extended run battery pack, counterweight, storage, and cable management system.

The SOF Cap allows for a wide range of head sizes, rapid adjustment, and secure operation without the need for an additional retention system.  It also incorporates our Secure TETHER System and our low-profile VAS shroud. The SOF Cap is ball cap comfortable and can be worn for extended mission durations without any pain or discomfort. Although the SOF Cap allows for the use of counterweights and extended-run battery packs, they are not required for normal operation.

SHOT Show 25 – Sarsimalz SARBOT

Tuesday, January 28th, 2025

Announced for full production last fall, SARBOT from Turkey’s Sarsimalz is an armed quadruped unmanned ground vehicle or robot (not to be confused with the maritime UUV SARbot).

Although the actual robot wasn’t displayed at SHOT Show, Sarsimalz definitely promoted its existence on the side of their booth.

Sarsimalz is well known for small arms with recent forays into drones so this is a natural progression. SARBOT has been under development since at least 2022 when the first prototype was unveiled.

SHOT Show 25 – WOBIG Portable Gearstand

Tuesday, January 28th, 2025

I was introduced to the WOBIG Portable Gearstand in the ADS booth. Many of us made them from scrap lumber while deployed and there are quite a few on the market, but this is the first one of I’ve run across that is so well packaged for transport.

The inspiration for the stand would make any one of us proud. During brand founder Tim Wobig’s second deployment to Afghanistan where he built an ad-hoc model using items he found.

The production model will accommodate armor and helmet in excess of 85 pounds of gear despite weighing in at just 2.4 lbs itself. Easy to deploy, it snaps open in the seconds.

The spine is aircraft-grade aluminum, first polished then anodized while the arms and legs are composed of glass-filled nylon.

The WOBIG Portable Gearstand also has a cool development story. It was refined in conjunction with faculty and midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy over a 2 ½ period. The final product was released in December 2023 during the company founder’s final deployment to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Enlisting in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1998, Tim served in multiple locations in the states and overseas before transferring to the Army National Guard as a Commissioned Officer in 2009.

He is currently deployed overseas on active-duty with the rank of Major. When his tour completes, Tim plans to retire in the Midwest and spend more time with his wife and their seven-year-old twins.

During his 23 years of service, Tim remained passionate about his commitment to his brothers and sisters in arms. In his own words: “I always knew that I wanted to leave the military in a better place than when I found it.”

Veteran owned, the company is operated by Tim and his business partner, Marc Lurie.
