More Cool Gear from SHOT 2020

SHOT Show is truly a massive event, held annually for the past several years in Las Vegas Nevada including this year. Sponsored by the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), it is a time for those in the shooting, hunting, and outdoor trades to come together and showcase new and innovative products. It is nigh impossible to see it all. Many folks are under the false impression that it is all guns and ammo; it’s not. There are products for the off-road enthusiast, the survivalist, the outdoor cook to mention but a few.

It is always interesting to see products that may not always be front and center because they are not firearms or ammunition. Listed here are just a few of those products readers may find interesting:

Firebird Biodegradable Detonating Targets

 

Firebird 50 BIO Targets are the “world’s first completely biodegradable detonating target” according to a company spokesman. Unlike other detonating targets they require no mixing, and can easily fit in the palm of your hand. They are a self-contained, pyrotechnic reactive target that are legal, safe and easy to transport.

Firebird Targets are Bio Degradable

Key features include:

  • Designed for use at short, medium or long distance
  • Not a binary system—no mixing required
  • Can be used with rifle, handgun, shotgun, or archery
  • 50mm target (just under two inches in diameter)
  • Instant hit recognition via sound, smoke, and flash
  • Contains no Ammonium Nitrate
  • Self-adhesive for easy placement on targets

Cost for a pack of ten is $17.99

Pyro Putty

 

If you’re a person that spends time in the outdoors, hopefully you always have several methods of building a fire available should the need arise. I ran across a very neat product at SHOT Range Day that offers a unique option for fire-making. Pyro Putty is a great addition to any outdoorsman’s survival kit. This unique product offers three unique blends of “putty” based on seasonal temperatures or, if you prefer, an all-natural blend.  Pryo Putty will burn even when wet and comes in a waterproof, floating tin which easily be carried in a pocket.
