Over 40 Years of the IWA OutdoorClassics Success Story in Nuremberg

The national product show for the retail gun trade and gunsmiths opened its doors in Nuremberg for the first time in 1974 with just under 100 exhibitors. The international name IWA OutdoorClassics is due to the rapidly increased importance beyond the borders of Germany and the multi-theme range of products, which covers the spectrum between traditional craftsmanship and innovative ideas for outdoor equipment, functional clothing, hunting sports and shooting sports.

This year, IWA OutdoorClassics presents a more attractive, more colourful and more comprehensive event that is a must for trade and industry.
