Make Big Noise 2014

Make Big Noise 2014

I recently had the chance to attend the inaugural Make Big Noise firearms demonstration at the  G4S International Training facility in Shackleford, VA.  The event was organized by Laura Burgess Marketing.  Various writers from around the industry were invited to the facility and met with various manufacturer representatives.  There were classroom demonstrations and range time.

In the coming weeks, you can expect to see more information about some new products coming out from some of these companies.  Also, I have a number of items that I will be testing in the coming days.  For now, here are a few photos from the event.

Due to a family event, I was forced to leave the event a day early.  A shoot house demo and emergency vehicle operations were held on the day I missed.  So, no photos of those events.
