Join us at the World’s Largest Outdoor Show – February 1-9, 2020
The Great American Outdoor Show is a nine-day event in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania that celebrates hunting, fishing, and outdoor traditions treasured by millions of Americans and their families.
EVERY YEAR SCI HOSTS THE HUNTERS’ CONVENTION.
This hunters’ heaven has everything the mind can dream of and occupies more than 650,000 square feet of exhibit space. Six continents are under one roof where SCI members come to book hunts, rendezvous with old friends and shop for the latest guns and hunting equipment. That only scratches the surface of products available at SCI’s Annual Hunters’ Convention. Notable authorities of the outdoor sports and
shooting industries attend the premier hunting show annually.
When the exhibit halls close, the evening fun and excitement begins. Each night, members come together to celebrate the accomplishments of the organization and enjoy top entertainment and speakers. SCI’s evening auctions offer top-of-the-line guns, once-in-a-lifetime hunts and adventures, the finest artwork and more. Every purchase provides crucial funds to help preserve our hunting heritage and fund conservation efforts worldwide.
THE 2020 CONVENTION WILL BE HELD IN RENO NEVADA FEBRUARY 5 – 8!
