SHOT Show 2025 has come and gone, and we’re here to break it all down. In this episode of the Long Range Tactics Podcast, hosts Cole Quarnberg and Matt Hornback dive into the best, the worst, and the downright confusing releases from this year’s show. We’ll cover the gear that actually impressed us, the industry trends shaping the future, and the products that left us scratching our heads.

From SIG’s mysterious new weapon-mounted laser rangefinder to PRSTF’s innovative weighted tripod, we take a closer look at the technology pushing the limits of precision shooting. We also get into the growing popularity of 3D-printed suppressors, the ongoing frustration with barrel availability, and why some manufacturers seem determined to make the same mistakes year after year.

Of course, not everything was a hit. We’ll call out the gimmicks, the marketing fluff, and the brands that showed up unprepared. Plus, we discuss the future of competition and hunting gear, the releases we’re most excited to test, and what all this means for shooters moving forward.

Whether you were at SHOT Show or just want the straight scoop from those who were, this episode is packed with firsthand insight, real-world takeaways, and the no-BS breakdown you won’t get anywhere else.
