A fundamental introspective question. Do I need to spend a grand on what appears to be a flimsy electronic gadget that lets me see thermal up to hundreds of yards away? Let’s all join hands and meditate, or maybe medicate if you lean toward the positive.

HySkore Target Hound Target Stands Hold 1×2 & 2×4 Lumber – SHOT Show 2017
Updated: February 5, 2017There are two models, the Target Hound and the Target Hound Max. If you only plan to shoot at 100 yards or less, the regular Target Hound fits targets to 18 inches wide. It will hold both 1×2 strapping and 2×4 standard construction lumber. The base is made to stay stable in a light breeze, so if you want more wind resistance, you can attach longer lumber stringers to the extended legs.

Updated: February 5, 2017Stag Arms has been a leader in the AR side of the house, most notably the only major manufacturer to offer left-handed models. I don’t suffer from wronghandedness myself, but I appreciate a company stepping up the engineering to solve a problem.

Sabatti Precision Competition Rifles – Old World Italian Gunmaker Goes Tactical – SHOT Show 2017
Updated: February 4, 2017What do you get when you take an old world Italian high grade shotgun and African rifle company and ask them to make guns in 2017 for the new shooters of today? Sabatti Target Rifles. Italians are used to making the best quality almost everything, so it is no surprise that their long range precision target rifles would be meticulous and inventive.
Uzkon Bullpup 12 Gauge Gas Shotgun Takes 1919 Mags – SHOT Show 2017
Updated: February 4, 2017There have been rumblings about this gun for several months now, so it was nice to run across it at a small booth at SHOT. So far the gun has an importer, EAA, and the initial samples have been sent to ATF. That should be smooth sailing to get a gun in hand by later this year. At a pricepoint under $1,000, the gun should do very well in the US market, and we hope to see one soon.

New Kahr Arms Pistols from SHOT Show 2017
Updated: February 4, 2017Kahr Arms is best known for concealed carry pistols, and that is exactly what they brought to the party this year. The CM line of pistols has new colors, and some new upgrades. The color is Tungsten Grey, with gray most certainly being the favorite new color of the gun industry. The Kahr Arms Tungsten is a darker gray, with a matte finish. It makes for a beautiful gun, and I am starting to really dig this “guns don’t always have to be black” attitude.
