“The IWA Pavilion is a great opportunity for us to participate in the SHOT Show in Las Vegas for various reasons. On the one hand, the joint stand is in a great location, and on the other hand, as an exhibitor we benefit from the promotion and appeal of IWA OutdoorClassics. We had some great discussions and were delighted with the large number of visitors.”
