The Association of Firearms and Ammunition Dealers of the Philippines, Inc. (AFAD) invites enthusiasts, sports shooters, and industry stakeholders to the much-anticipated, star-studded Defense & Sporting Arms Show on July 23 to 27 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.
The annual firearms show returns this year infused with major and positive developments in the industry, including the renewed national support for shooting sports and a stronger push for responsible gun ownerships. The event also serves as a major platform for showcasing the latest firearms, ammunition, tactical gear, and industry innovations from the country’s leading dealers and manufacturers.
AFAD spokesperson Alaric Topacio emphasized the show’s growing role in supporting the local shooting community and industry. “This year’s show reflects the recent energetic progress in the firearms industry, and it’s especially timely as we prepare to host major international competitions. It’s an opportunity to bring our community together and continue promoting responsible firearms ownership.”
Also just in time said AFAD as Filipino shooting athletes are in the thick of preparations for the 2nd IPSA Action Air World Championship, happening July 26 to August 3 in Iloilo City, with over 200 shooters from more than 40 countries expected to attend.
The Philippine team also has recently competed in the 2025 IPSC PCC/Mini Rifle World Shoot in Znojmo, Czech Republic, highlighting the Philippines’ growing presence in global shooting sports.
