With all the tactical rifles, pistols, shotguns and gear at SHOT Show 2011, we thought they deserved some coverage.
Take a look at all the best "Booth Babe" photos from the last few years of the SHOT Show.
Phil Bourjaily reports on the most promising shotgun gear from the 2009 Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show
This year's SHOT Show set new records for number of attendees, exhibits, floor space, and real he-men wearing tactical packs, but it was tragically lacking in booth babes. Our intrepid photographer shot the only good ones we found and then was forced to include beards, backpacks, and other stuff just to pad out the section.
Feel free to skip them. There were a number of booth babes who were, to be brutally honest, not babes. In fact, some of them looked like Bill Heavey with a bra. I'm sure they are fine people, but you are supposed to be a hottie if you do this kind of work. --David Petzal More SHOT Show coverage

The 30th annual SHOT Show in Las Vegas showed a regrettable lack of booth babes but, by way of compensation, lots of interesting new shotguns. Upland bird hunters should be especially pleased by the shotgun class of '08, which includes some lightweight pumps and autos as well as a little something for everyone else.

Storm surge from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita turned the Gulf coast's freshwater wetlands into brackish, oxygen-depleted dead zones. Now wildlife managers are concerned that the remaining habitat will become a breeding ground for avian disease
What Katrina started, the latest Gulf hurricane might have finished: a leveling blow to coastal waterfowl habitat.
