About The Expo

The Shot Expo is Australia’s largest event for the Sports Shooting Industry and showcases shooting, hunting and outdoor trades to enthusiasts, those wishing to participate in the sport and the general public with the view of improving public awareness, professionalism and safety. It is held in Melbourne every two years.

Since its inauguration in 2005, the Shot Expo has experienced dramatic growth in both exhibitor and visitor participation. In 2011, over 200 booths were booked by companies wishing to promote their products and services with a waiting list, and with 10,000 visitors attending over the weekend.

With industry participation ever increasing, a wider marketing and promotional approach and further support from associations, clubs, industry bodies and media, the 2013 SHOT Show is set to be by far the biggest yet! And the biggest Australia has ever seen!
