The National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW), the association representing shooting sports wholesalers, manufacturers and their trade partners, is pleased to announce that Barnes Bullets & Sierra Bullets will be sponsoring an NASGW Expo Happy Hour on Wednesday, October 25th in Columbus, OH.
“The NASGW Expo provides attendees a great opportunity to connect with industry decision-makers during events like our Happy Hours on the show floor,” said Kenyon Gleason, NASGW President. “The Expo would not be possible without great partners like Barnes Bullets & Sierra Bullets sponsoring our Happy Hours. We appreciate their support and look forward to seeing all of our members in Columbus.”
The NASGW Expo will be held on October 24 – October 27 at the GCCC (Greater Columbus Convention Center) in Columbus, OH. The Expo is the premier event for shooting sports wholesalers and manufacturers to review current market conditions, forecast future sales, and plan for the upcoming year.
“Each year the NASGW Expo is a well thought out and cleanly executed event,” said Michael Painter, Barnes Bullets and Sierra Bullets Director of Sales, Marketing and Product Management. “It’s a great opportunity to meet with our valued business partners, as well as get an early pulse on the industry for the following year. Barnes and Sierra are proud to attend this event every year and are honored to participate as a sponsor in 2023.”
The NASGW Expo is one of the most productive events within the shooting sports industry. It is a closed event for NASGW Members, creating a very productive business environment for Expo attendees. Exhibitors and attendees value the smaller, meeting-focused event that provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect with their partners in a short period, to plan for the year ahead.
