The Texas Firearms Festival: A Look Back, A Look Forward!

(sponsored post)

Last year was the Texas Firearms Festival’s debut. It was a hit! More than 2000 shooters journeyed to Best of the West Shooting Sports in Liberty Hill to sample firearms from dozens of manufacturers. In our exit poll, ninety percent of visitors said they’d be back for 2015. But we didn’t rest on our ballistic laurels. We listened to our ticket holders’ every suggestion and worked hard to solve every issue, from check-in troubles, to line length at the rifle range, to the insufficient number of retailers hawking their wares. For 2015 . . .

New Shooter Training at the 2015 Texas Firearms Festival – Come and Shoot It!

We noticed something important at last year’s Texas Firearms Festival: new shooters. Ticket holders who’d never shot a gun before. To their credit, kind-hearted reps from mainstream manufacturers took the time to introduce newbies to the joys of shooting. Unfortunately, it was a fairly slow process. Thanks to the Texas State Rifle Association (TSRA) and UTM, we’re dedicating the entire Best of the West outdoor pistol range to “learn to shoot”instruction, available to both Shooter and Non-Shooter ticket holders. On November 14 and 15, expert instructors will teach . . .

Israel Weapons Industries (IWI) makes firearms for military and law enforcement agencies and security personnel around the world. IWI US is the manufacturer’s American distributor, selling the Uzi Pro and Jericho pistols (tested by TTAG here) and the bullpup Tavor SAR (TTAG’s Reader Choice award winner in 2013). IWI US sells these fine firearms to all of the above plus you, the American consumer. Come and ring steel with IWI’s three main products and maybe, just maybe, the long-awaited Galil ACE pistol and rifle – at the 2015 Texas Firearms Festival, November 14 and 15 at Best of the West Shooting Sports (NW of Austin). Note: IWI firearms are not cheap. There’s a reason for that . . .

Safety is the 2015 Texas Firearms Festival’s number one priority. On November 14 and 15, when ticket holders leave Best of the West Shooting Sports with the same number of holes they arrived with, when their worst after-effect is an ongoing endorphin rush (if it lasts more than four hours, call your gun dealer), the 2015 Festival will be a success. Everything else is icing on the cake. I repeat: we will not compromise our ticket holders’ safety for any reason, practical or financial. Here are some of the measures we take to safeguard our ticket holders . . .

On November 14 and 15, Shooter and VIP ticket holders (buy yours here) at the 2015 Texas Firearms Festival will get to grips with STI Guns. Which ones? “We’re bringing our full line,”Jens Krough promises. STI’s Director of Sales of Marketing says the selection will include “our 2011 and 1911 models in all shapes and sizes, some 15 to 20 guns.” That doesn’t mean that all shooters will get to shoot all of STI’s guns. But ticket holders will get serious trigger time with an STI pistol to suit their style and shooting needs. If you’re a competition shooter – and STI guns are nothing if not top competitors’ go-to pistol maker – you’re going to want to send lead downrange with . . .

Here’s the firearms rundown and some big news on price . . .

Bergara Rifles Supplies GA SWAT Team. Come and Shoot It at the 2015 Texas Firearms Festival! [VIDEO]

(sponsored post)

Cruising this year’s SHOT Show looking for exhibitors for the 2015 Texas Firearms Festival, we happened upon Bergara Custom Rifles. We described the event to them. They immediately asked about the 1000-yard spots on the Rifle Range (sponsored by The Range at Austin). We told them we only had space for three manufacturers at maximum range. Bergara signed-up on the spot. And why not? The company stakes it reputation on long-range accuracy, enabled by their increasingly legendary rifle barrels. The Douglasville Police Department S.W.A.T. is on board. They’ve purchased the Bergara Premier Tactical chambered in .308 [press release after the jump]. it’s the same rifle that’ll be ringing steel at the Texas Firearms Festival on November 14 and 15 at Best of the West Shooting Sports in Liberty Hill.

The Texas Firearms Festival is a hit! Last year, over 90 percent of our ticket buyers said they’d be back at Best of the West Shooting Sports for year two. To keep ’em coming to America’s premier “come and shoot it” event – held this year on November 14 and 15 – we’ve added awesome gun makers [click here for the most recent list], moved the Sportsman’s Finest Gun Store tent and the Retail Village to the center of the range (not downrange), created an Action Target/TSRA Competition Zone and improved VIP tickets (now with FastPass line-jumping privileges). Amongst other things. All based on talking to ticket holders on the day and the exit survey. One thing we heard loud and clear . . .
