The SHOT Show (Shooting Hunting Outdoor Trade) takes place every January in Las Vegas and is the trade show where the shooting sports, hunting and law enforcement communities come together to peruse the latest in firearms, ammunition, optics, outdoor apparel and more.

If it’s new and cool in the world of hunting, upland or otherwise, you’ll find it there.

As a general rule, most modern shotguns weigh between six and eight pounds, depending on the style and expected use. This can impact not only the balance of the gun—though both light and heavy guns can be well-balanced, depending on the build quality—but also the accuracy and ease of use.
