SHOT Show Retailer Seminars

More and more FFLs are relying on advanced technologies to help manage their inventories, organize range reservations, screen employees, process payments and other day-to-day tasks. They’re also increasingly using technology to stay ATF compliant and secure through the use of electronic bound books, e-4473 forms and other firearms record-keeping chores. To help you keep abreast of the latest technology designed to improve business for the firearms industry, we’ve asked Jon Rydberg to host the special Retailer Seminar, “Leveraging the Industry’s Hottest Technology Trends.”
