Shot show

[sbuff]

Any one hear of anything new for muzzleloaders at this year's shot show?

 

[sbuff]

Nothing leaked out ugh

Someone in another thread mentioned Traditions putting out a couple .45s.

Traditions & CVA are probably the only ones there.
Knight doesn’t do the SHOT show.
Slim chance for Remington & T/C since they’re rebuilding/restructuring.
Ruger stopped long ago.

Why doesn't Knight go?

Why doesn't Knight go?

Can’t sell, non-public event, no interest in big box stores or dealers - everything is on-line. The week event cost a ML manufacturer probably $20k min with a booth, staff, travel, hotels, etc..
I’ve been a few times in the last decade… ML items make up maybe 2%.

Guess us muzzleloader enthusiasts are a small fish in a big sea ..

I saw a few guys with "Knight" on their badges. They could just be attendees.

I think this might change in the upcoming years as muzzleloading continues to grow in popularity.

Mark,
Did you have a booth at Shot ?

Knight was doing the Great American Outdoor Show and NWFT show until 2019 or 2020. They had a huge booth.

2020 I went, saw their booth. First time I ever handled an Ultra-Lite. Still drooling...
There was no show last year due to Covid, they are having it this year I heard

Very curious about Traditions offering a 45cal and what models. Years ago they also got burned by the 45cal 1-20 3pellet 155gr bullet fiasco.

I do. I had actually arranged for it over 2 years ago. Covid cancelled it last year. I had no desire to come this year due to the volume of orders we already have. They won't refund more than 50% of the cost so I went.

 

[LHR]

I should have come down and had a visit !

Val Foggett and Navy Arms are at SHOT

Navy Arms stopped making Reproduction Muzzleloaders in 2018 or 19.
