Archery Innovators Highlighted at 2013 ATA Trade Show

Archery Time reports that the culmination of a year's worth of archery innovations and pop culture curiosity occupied a record-breaking 189,324 square feet of floor space at the 2013 Archery Trade Association's (ATA) Trade Show in Louisville, Ky., and that exhibitor numbers rose 4 percent to 531 total.

"What I appreciate about our show is its ability to stay true to who we are - archery and bowhunting - but to achieve great diversity within our niche," said Jay McAninch, ATA CEO/President. "...The Trade Show is a venue designed for business and order writing, but it's also a venue that embraces innovative promotions and marketing, a broad array of lines related to all facets of bowhunting and all of this is mixed in with a creative, spontaneous flare that is punctuated by new ideas. The fact the industry growth trend continues is not at all a surprise to show attendees."
