Due to the interest generated by the name of our sport and the inquiries we have received from its beginning, I have decided to write this blog to explain why we chose “Zoot Shooters”.

2010 is off to a good start!
~February 6th, 2010
This year has been kind to American Zoot Shooters Association (AZSA). We attended the SHOT (Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada to promote our new sport with Auto-Ordnance. The Shooting Gallery episode based on the AZSA aired on the Outdoor Channel January 20th. We are gaining attention and memberships!
The 2009 SHOT Show
~July 26th, 2009
Henning “The Undertaker” Wallgren goes to the SHOT Show every year to promote his Tanfoglio parts and shooting talent. I went to the 2008 Las Vegas, NV show with him just for fun, “Vegas baby!” When we were there last year we told Jodi DePorter of Auto-Ordnance about our plan to create a “new shooting sport”. She thought it was a great idea and promised to keep it a secret. After the video of our first match hit YouTube, Henning created a Zoot Shooters website. We then started to receive excellent response and plenty of positive feedback. I was not planning to go to the 2009 show in Orlando, FL but Henning convinced me. We made some t-shirts and cheesy business cards, packed our suits and headed to the 2009 SHOT Show with Emma “Dame West” Hall.
