Make Big Noise 2014

by: Richard Johnson 2 Comments

I recently had the chance to attend the inaugural Make Big Noise firearms demonstration at the Â G4S International Training facility in Shackleford, VA. Â The event was organized by Laura Burgess Marketing. Â Various writers from around the industry were invited to the facility and met with various manufacturer representatives. Â 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. Â Also, I have a number of items that I will be testing in the coming days. Â 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. Â A shoot house demo and emergency vehicle operations were held on the day I missed. Â So, no photos of those events.
