2018 Great American Outdoor Show
February 8th, 2018
I made it once again to the Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Presented by the National Rifle Association, this 9-day Show is part Trade Show and part Gun Show. Vendors may sell direct to customers (except firearms) so you’ll see lots of accessories heading out the door at the end of each day. I’m told, GAOS gets more traffic than SHOT Show and the NRA Annual Meeting combined.
