Mossy Oak Announced as Presenting Sponsor of Archery Business & Hunting Retailer Pavilion

Aug. 8, 2025: Mossy Oak was recently announced as the presenting sponsor of the Archery Business & Hunting Retailer Pavilion at the 2026 SHOT Show, which will be held in Las Vegas, January 20–23.

The team from Mossy Oak invites visitors to SHOT Show to join them in the Pavilion, which is a collaboration between the NSSF and Grand View Outdoors, a leading provider of outdoor content. The Grand View Outdoors family of brands include trade publications such as Archery Business and Hunting Retailer magazines, as well as consumer titles such as Bowhunting World and Predator Xtreme.

“Early in my career, I was extremely proud to be a part of making Mossy Oak's Hunting the Country magazine a reality and a very popular brand,” said Derrick Nawrocki, President/Publisher, Grand View Outdoors. “Today, I am equally as proud to announce that we are joining forces with an old friend and an iconic industry brand, Mossy Oak, which has decided to put their stamp of approval on the Archery Business & Hunting Retailer Pavilion as the presenting sponsor. We all have a focused goal to continue to drive interest, traction and growth of a centralized space at the SHOT Show for companies entrenched in the bowhunting and hunting industry. Year three of this area has really taken off, and this news will only cement this as the place to exhibit for bowhunting and hunting focused companies.”

"We are very excited to be the presenting sponsor and 'gathering place for all things hunting' in the Archery Business & Hunting Retailer Pavilion at SHOT Show,” said Chris Paradise, Sr. Vice President, Mossy Oak Enterprise Brands. “Mossy Oak’s leadership position and commitment to the outdoor industry is further evident by our initiative for the hunting community to join us in the Pavilion as the place to be at this year’s SHOT Show and beyond!”

“Having an iconic brand such as Mossy Oak support the Archery Business & Hunting Retailer Pavilion is significant to the growth of the archery/hunting segment at SHOT Show,” said Chris Tatulli, Senior Director, Exhibit & Sponsorship Sales, NSSF. “We are incredibly excited to have them participate.”
