That is the challenge that Brian Hallam of Glow Ammo faces with his cold tracer, trajectory marking technology that is unlike anything else on the market.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Most people don&#8217;t understand Glow Ammo,&#8221; explains Brian.  &#8220;They think you can only see it at night like standard hot military tracers, but you can see our tracers under normal range lights, and outside at dawn and dusk, not just at dark.   Our cold technology is also much less dangerous than hot tracers and ranges that won&#8217;t allow hot tracers allow Glow Ammo.  &#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We call Glow Ammo trajectory markers, not tracers, because it opens up a whole new aspect to shooters. You get to see your bullet leave the barrel and hit the target.  In the video game generation this is a whole new dimension that people really enjoy.  It is like a laser beam in a video game.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It also has a lot of practical and defensive applications as well.  Only you can see the trajectory marker as the shooter.  When you get more than about 15 degrees off of the bore axis you can&#8217;t see the flash of the Glow Ammo marker, and from the front, downrange,  it is not visible at all. This means that your enemy can&#8217;t see your shots but you can. Whether your eyes are on your sights or not, you can see where your shots are hitting, and there is no disadvantages like you see with lasers and standard hot tracers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Police and Military Applications<\/h2>\n<p>Brian&#8217;s vision for Glow Ammo is more far reaching than a range novelty or even simple self defense, and if you think about his points, he&#8217;s kinda right.  He has a long way to go before people understand and accept what he has to say, but hopefully this article will start opening people&#8217;s minds.  He explains the police and military potential like this:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Think about a classic police shootout.  The first officer on scene is forced to engage in a gunfight and calls for backup. With Glow Ammo, as soon as the backup arrives on scene, they immediately see where the shots of their fellow officer are going, and the bad guy on the receiving end can&#8217;t see them.   The dangers we all know that exist with lasers for the shooter, that the bad guy can see where the laser is coming from, doesn&#8217;t exist with trajectory identification technology.  It is a different way to think about gunfight dynamics. &#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It is the same thing with the military.  Right now there is only red colored Glow Ammo, but soon we will have other colors.   This way a team leader can carry one color marker and the team members a different color, so that in a firefight, the team sees where the team leader is directing fire, and they know it is him because of the different color.  The potential is limitless for trajectory identification, and because it is a cold technology, there are no adverse side effects or potential collateral damage.  It just works. &#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Transforming Competition Shooting<\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps the most exciting thing I learned from Brian&#8217;s vision of Glow Ammo is his view of the future of competition shooting.  Already we have seen that shooting competitions are finding their way into mainstream media, TV, and even sports reporting.  Brian has an interesting take on other sports and how we can learn from them to take shooting sports to the next level.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;If you look at golf,&#8221;  he explains, nobody cared to watch it on television until they developed a video trajectory tracing technology so people could see the shots.  The same thing with Nascar racing. It wasn&#8217;t until the TV producers could make sense of the cars on the track with video tracking that it became popular.   It can be the same with shooting sports.  Where right now we are limited to outdoor events where the action is people running around, Glow Ammo can bring action to even indoor events, where you can see the shots of the competitors on screen.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Even hunting shows can be transformed by seeing the actual bullet travel downrange to its target. The potential of this technology is exciting and could change shooting sports in the media, and get more people involved.  Video gaming isn&#8217;t popular by accident. It makes you feel like you are there.  Glow Ammo gives both the shooter and the spectator this same feeling for live shooting. &#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Now You Can Buy Ammo!<\/h2>\n<p>The story of Glow Ammo has just begun, and I think it took a leap forward with a new line of actual ammunition that is pre-loaded with the Glow Ammo dots.  Until now, Glow Ammo wasn&#8217;t ammo. You could only buy sheets of the dots for use in your own handloading and reloading.  The biggest question Brian and the team at Glow Ammo got was &#8220;when are you going to start selling ammo?&#8221;  Now that the actual ammo is available, a lot more people will be able to actually try Glow Ammo for themselves and push the success of this cool new technology forward.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAs a training aid, something to excite new shooters, and just an overall neat little idea, Glow Ammo is an exciting product.  It won&#8217;t light your targets on fire or damage your gun. It doesn&#8217;t leave any residue in the barrel  and the dots are non-toxic.  I did ask Brian what they are made from, because they smell like red rolls of children&#8217;s caps, but he of course wouldn&#8217;t tell me.

Like anything else, extra fun costs extra money, but in the case of Glow Ammo you will most likely find that it was worth it, and you&#8217;ll be one of the people that will be able to say &#8220;I remember when&#8230;&#8221;  after Glow Ammo becomes a household word, like Kleenex.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/glow-ammo-cold-tracers-product-review\/\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding-right: 15px; padding-bottom: 15px;\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.gunsamerica.com\/d\/6329-2\/ammobox.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"left\" width=\"400\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nThe hardest thing in the world is to be the only one out there with a new product that people don&#8217;t understand.

That is the challenge that Brian Hallam of Glow Ammo faces with his cold tracer, trajectory marking technology that is unlike anything else on the market.   \"Most people don't understand Glow Ammo,\" explains Brian. \"They think you can only see it at night like standard hot military tracers, but you can see our tracers under normal range lights, and outside at dawn and dusk, not just at dark.  Our cold technology is also much less dangerous than hot tracers and ranges that won't allow hot tracers allow Glow Ammo. \"  \"We call Glow Ammo trajectory markers, not tracers, because it opens up a whole new aspect to shooters. You get to see your bullet leave the barrel and hit the target. In the video game generation this is a whole new dimension that people really enjoy. It is like a laser beam in a video game.\"  \"It also has a lot of practical and defensive applications as well. Only you can see the trajectory marker as the shooter. When you get more than about 15 degrees off of the bore axis you can't see the flash of the Glow Ammo marker, and from the front, downrange, it is not visible at all. This means that your enemy can't see your shots but you can. Whether your eyes are on your sights or not, you can see where your shots are hitting, and there is no disadvantages like you see with lasers and standard hot tracers.\"  Police and Military Applications Brian's vision for Glow Ammo is more far reaching than a range novelty or even simple self defense, and if you think about his points, he's kinda right. He has a long way to go before people understand and accept what he has to say, but hopefully this article will start opening people's minds. He explains the police and military potential like this:  \"Think about a classic police shootout. The first officer on scene is forced to engage in a gunfight and calls for backup. With Glow Ammo, as soon as the backup arrives on scene, they immediately see where the shots of their fellow officer are going, and the bad guy on the receiving end can't see them.  The dangers we all know that exist with lasers for the shooter, that the bad guy can see where the laser is coming from, doesn't exist with trajectory identification technology. It is a different way to think about gunfight dynamics. \"  \"It is the same thing with the military. Right now there is only red colored Glow Ammo, but soon we will have other colors.  This way a team leader can carry one color marker and the team members a different color, so that in a firefight, the team sees where the team leader is directing fire, and they know it is him because of the different color. The potential is limitless for trajectory identification, and because it is a cold technology, there are no adverse side effects or potential collateral damage. It just works. \"     Read More...","og_url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/glow-ammo-cold-tracers-product-review\/","og_site_name":"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica","article_published_time":"2011-11-29T19:25:30+00:00","article_modified_time":"2023-10-06T16:52:38+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1201,"height":191,"url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/GA_MAIN_LOGO_RGB_WEB-01.webp","type":"image\/webp"}],"author":"Paul Helinski","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@gunsamerica","twitter_site":"@gunsamerica","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Paul Helinski","Est. reading time":"6 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/glow-ammo-cold-tracers-product-review\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/glow-ammo-cold-tracers-product-review\/"},"author":{"name":"Paul Helinski","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#\/schema\/person\/5e03b35fc5e9064fc6af6c4e55d678c1"},"headline":"Glow Ammo Cold Tracers Ready for Prime Time","datePublished":"2011-11-29T19:25:30+00:00","dateModified":"2023-10-06T16:52:38+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/glow-ammo-cold-tracers-product-review\/"},"wordCount":1287,"commentCount":22,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#organization"},"articleSection":["Accessories Misc.","Authors","Paul Helinski"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/glow-ammo-cold-tracers-product-review\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/glow-ammo-cold-tracers-product-review\/","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/glow-ammo-cold-tracers-product-review\/","name":"Glow Ammo Cold Tracers Ready for Prime Time","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#website"},"datePublished":"2011-11-29T19:25:30+00:00","dateModified":"2023-10-06T16:52:38+00:00","description":"Glow Ammo Cold Tracers Ready for Prime Time -","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/glow-ammo-cold-tracers-product-review\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/glow-ammo-cold-tracers-product-review\/"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/glow-ammo-cold-tracers-product-review\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Glow Ammo Cold Tracers Ready for Prime Time"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/#website","url":"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/","name":"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest","description":"Gun Reviews, Industry News, and Product Reviews for Rifles, Pistols, Revolvers, Shotguns, Optics, and Ammunition.
