For more than 50 years, the international hunting and target sports sector has been gathering at IWA OutdoorClassics in Nuremberg. And for good reason: This is the only place where you can find everything relating to the perfect shooting experience in a protected space for hunting, target sports and action sports. And that pays off for you!
Your target group will be keenly interested in everything on show at IWA OutdoorClassics. For you as a visitor to the exhibition that means you will not only experience the whole range of hunting, target and action sports, but will also get relevant insights into niche and peripheral areas. After visiting the exhibition you will be best informed about weapons, ammunition, optics, clothing, outdoor needs, hunting accessories, knives, archery, tactical equipment, and you will be perfectly prepared for successful sales discussions with your customers! Unique: Exclusive side events such as the annual conference of the World Forum on Shooting Activities (WFSA) and the expert gathering before the exhibition illustrate just how deep the industry connections of IWA OutdoorClassics run.

Please note for your travel and stay at the IWA OutdoorClassics that there was a change in the law in Germany at the end of last year. This change prohibits carrying any type of knives (e.g., pocket knives, multitools, box cutters, fixed-blade knives) at exhibitions. Please check individually if your travel is affected by this.
As the organizer of the IWA OutdoorClassics, we know that you, as experts, handle knives carefully. However, there are no exceptions for exhibitions as per the instructions of the local authorities. The legal notice that persons carrying knives in connection with traditional customs, hunting, or sports are exempt from the ban (§42, 4a) does not apply to the IWA OutdoorClassics, as a exhibition visit is not directly associated with these activities.
