Shot Show 2019 Novelties

Introduction

Shot Show is an annual tradeshow, where all major companies that deal with hunting, shooting and outdoors exhibit their newest products. Among the 525 stands, there were many new and exciting things introduced. In order to name a few, we have collected them in this blog post.

Riflescopes

In the field of riflescopes, this year was all about the standard riflescopes. Many brands expanded their existing series with new models, such as Zeiss with V4 series and Leupold with Mark 5HD series. Primary Arms categorized their riflescopes in four different tiers and Meopta introduced a breakthrough Dichroic Reticle Technology, which ensures the optimal visibility based on the ambient light – the reticle turns bright red in daylight but might turn green in a dusky environment.

This year, there weren’t as many innovations in this field as was the case in some of the previous years. The trend of laser rangefinding binoculars nevertheless continues. Leupold introduced RBX-3000 laser rangefinding binoculars, which are – interestingly – made in the Czech Republic and Vortex upgraded their famous LRF binoculars Fury to Fury 5000. There were also some novelties in the field of standard binoculars – Sightron introduced two new series and we were finally able to see the beautiful Swarovski Nomad binoculars in person.
