There were some non-firearm items of interest as well.
I checked in with the Peltor ear and eye protection folks. I have an appointment with them later in the week, so I’ll have more information on their latest then.
Knife-throwing from Buck Knives – I tried out their knife-throwing challenge again this year, and stuck two-out-of-three! I won a very nice folder, which I plan to keep for my own self, rather than giving away as swag to my gun club friends – sorry guys!
I found a new insect repellent called TrueTimber Bodyguard. This tweaked my inner pediatrician, because unlike DEET, this product is safe for pregnant women and infants down to about 2 months of age. It is effective against Lyme-carrying ticks and also against Zika- carrying mosquitoes. I will definitely be looking into this more closely.
There was much, much more, but those were the highlights. I’ll be looking into some of these more in-depth as time goes along, so keep an eye out.
And keep your eyes turned here at GAT daily for more as SHOT Show 2019 continues!
