At the IWA OutdoorClassics only a specialist audience is allowed. When purchasing their admission ticket, visitors must prove that they are employed in a relevant industry, for example a forest authority or personal protection . A job as a hunter or membership in a shooting club is not sufficient.
Enforce Tac
For several years, the so-called authorities' day took place on the first day of IWA OutdoorClassics. Due to growing popularity, the organizer outsourced the 2012 authorities' day to a separate event under the name Enforce Tac. There, exhibitors offer products especially for security forces from the police, customs and military. In addition to weapons and ammunition, the range also includes combat clothing, vehicles and training equipment such as shooting ranges . The European Police Trainer Conference is also part of Enforce Tac. The restriction to a specialist audience is handled particularly strictly at Enforce Tac.
