That depends on whether a team needs direct access to shooting, hunting and outdoor-trade manufacturers, distributors and law-enforcement equipment suppliers under one roof. Because it is a trade-only show requiring qualification, it suits buyers with a specific sourcing or evaluation goal rather than casual browsers.
Most trade-show attendees wear business casual or smart casual with comfortable, closed-toe shoes for a multi-hall show floor. The organizer does not publish a formal dress code.
