The Real Women of SHOT

Too often our industry focuses solely on the visual virtues of our fairer counterparts and little else. We extol boobs and butts, but sometimes forget about the brains and business. Don’t get us wrong–we certainly appreciate aesthetics as much as anyone else… but what about some actual role models? Gun bunnies may have their place bringing gobs of Instagram likes and putting boots into booths, but worthy inspirations for our daughters, nieces, and girlfriends who may have career aspirations they ain’t. We need more.

While we were at SHOT SHOW 2017 we were fortunate enough to meet with a handful of women who in our esteem are drivers in the industry. We apologize in advance to all of the subjects, as the lighting conditions at SHOT are notoriously horrible, and we were catching most of these amazing ladies in the middle of the busiest show of the year. We can’t thank them enough for setting aside a few minutes for us to snipe a picture or two.
