The ATA Trade Show is the archery and bowhunting industry’s LARGEST show. It’s also the industry’s MOST INCLUSIVE show. The ATA Trade Show is a member-driven event to promote commerce within the archery and bowhunting industry. Owned and operated by the ATA, the show is closed to the public and is an order writing event.

Nothing like promoting your sport or product then by keeping the public out.... :rolleyes:

Is the SHOT show open to the public??

ATA is a manufacturers' and product retailer show. It was never meant to be open to the public. The show is to introduce existing and new products to distribution and retail outlets. Most place their orders with manufacturers for the year. For the most part it is a one stop shop opportunity for most in the archery industry to do business for the year together. Being open to the public and/or selling to the public would undercut the intent of the show.

The show is huge and packed as is. If it were open to the public, you would not be able to move in there and no business would get done.

I have attended the show for the past 6 or 7 years. It is a good time. Once you have been though the awe factor wears off fast. It becomes all about business, just like in any other part of the working world. Still it is fun to meet up with old friends and every year there is at least one or two new products that will turn your head.

If this show was open to the public they couldn't find a building big enough to make it even comfortable to be in. Like DEC said, it is packed already just from all the businesses being in there. It is pretty cool to be there and see some of the new items that are coming out.

This will be my first time attending. I will be there with Athens Archery. They have a couple new bows coming out that are VERY nice.

That was a waste of time

wheeze, they're being unveiled at the ATA show. From what I've heard will be pretty nice bows. Just have to see.

There may be some leaked photos if you know where to look...

COUGH COUGH....
