Eberlestock Unveiling Surprising New Products at SHOT Show

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

We received the coolest Pre-SHOT Show announcement we have seen this season from Eberlestock.

“In keeping with Eberlestock’s tradition of unveiling surprising new products at the Shot Show, this year we’ll display more unique and new intellectual property per square inch than any other company under the roof. Stop by booth #1108 and see:”

A new sniper / precision long range chassis system that is the core of the shortest-folding stock in the world. Designed as a bolt-on commercial product, this chassis brings the look of modern weaponry to conventional bolt-action rifles. See the above photo for a hint of what this system looks like. On the 25th anniversary of the “Eberle Stock” that revolutionized the Olympic sport of biathlon, they felt it was appropriate to remind people where our company name is derived from, and to reaffirm that they are more than a pack company.

The first in a line of new generation ALICE-frame-based pack systems developed by request of their military sniper customers.

New big-mountain packs targeted at both sheep hunters and the European military market.

A set of exciting new camouflage patterns developed in partnership with the Hide-Open camouflage company, and first introduced to the world on Eberlestock products.

The new Gunrunner pack, which is simplicity and elegance in backpack form… it’s just going to be a fun way to run around with a rifle on your back.

Blackhawk! at SHOT Show

Friday, January 14th, 2011

We received Blackhawk!’s 2011 catalog a couple of weeks ago and to be honest, we are impressed. It’s hard to believe that they are able to introduce as many products as they do, year after year.

One of the products we are happy to see hitting the streets this time around is the High Performance Fighting Uniform (HPFUâ„¢). BLACKHAWK! is now offering a version of it without their patented I.T.S. â„¢ (Integrated Tourniquet System) called the HPFU Slick. This woks out great for those who don’t need the added security of tourniquets day-to-day.

Additionally, they are offering an updated version of the standard HPFU with a more streamlined I.T.S. ™. A single tourniquet is pre-positioned in the axillary area of each arm and the apex of the thigh of each leg for immediate activation by self or buddy-aid to stem blood loss in an emergency. Both are available in Black, Olive Drab, Desert Digital, and MultiCam® (yep, Blachawk is on the MultiCam wagon big time).

In addition to the HPFUs look for new athletic wear, station house uniforms for fire and EMS, clothing, updated versions of popular clothing designs and a whole slew of nylon gear.
