We spent some time at the 2017 Great American Outdoor Show. Although our trip was cut short due to weather, we want to share the highlights.
Swab-Its be at the Great American Outdoor Show from Saturday, Feb 4th through Sunday, Feb 12 at Booth #720 in the Shooting Sports Hall. Swab-Its’ knowledgeable team will be demonstrating their growing line of gun cleaning products and they’ll be offering Great Outdoor Show Specials.
There are loads of mobility platforms at the Great American Outdoor Show from a wide variety of manufacturers. There’s everything from boats to motorcycles to tracked ATVs. I even picked up a fat tire bike.
Granted, I was drawn to this Kawasaki KLR 650 by its paint job, but it is a great bike. This Enduro-style bike boasts a 651cc four-stroke single-cylinder engine, Long-travel 41mm telescopic fork, Adjustable Uni-Trak® rear suspension, 6.1-gallon fuel tank for long-range adventure touring, Large windscreen helps reduce wind buffeting and Sturdy rear cargo rack.

I ran across the Magpul booth and who was there, but the Indomitable Drake Clark.
I don’t know what’s more impressive. That beard, or the Remington 700 decked out in Magpul furniture.
The Mossberg MMR is now available with a M-Lok Compatible handguard.

NRA’s Great American Outdoor Show is a massive, nine day event held each year in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The NRA estimates that the show will have 250,000 visitors this year. With the crowd I’m seeing, I can believe it. They use almost every square inch of this agricultural center to exhibit and sell, the latest and greatest in shooting, hunting, fishing and recreation equipment and services.
Although it’s mainly hunting related, I made the five hour drive up from the Tidewater of Virginia to check it out.
