The other day we shared a photo of a glorious Coonskin Helmet Cover. Turns out, it was made by Nick’s Night Vision.
Yes, they’re expensive, but these “Daniel Goon” covers are also made of a genuine raccoon pelt specifically for high cut helmets.

IWA 22 – Spuhr AB
March 4th, 2022Sweden’s Spuhr AB displayed their new Spuhr Ideal Chassis System, referred to as “6” in the CZ Group booth as CZ owns a minority share of the company.
According to Spuhr it’s machined from aircraft aluminum, with the sole synthetic parts being the rubberized pistol grip, cheek piece, and a Limbsaver Airtech recoil pad.
It also features a patented, quick-adjustable Length of Pull (LOP) with presets so that the user can tailor his maximum and minimum LOP.
Additionally, there is an Arca Swiss rail integrated into the fore end. It will also accept Spuhr Interface accessories.

2022 IWA Outdoor Classics
March 4th, 2022
The Nürnberg Messe hasn’t hosted an IWA Outdoor Classics since 2019. It’s nice to catch up with old friends and make new acquaintances but unfortunately many companies and attendees didn’t make it this year.
Halls which in previous years had been packed with stands and visitors alike sat partially empty like you see here, while others still were outright closed.
Companies which are exhibiting have some new stuff which I’ll share over the next few days.
Despite lower attendance to this civilian oriented show, business looks to be booming, at least for the brands in the soldier systems sector. I am hearing reports that PPE is in high demand due to the conflict in Ukraine. Apparently, there are no helmets, armor/carriers, and tourniquets to be had in Europe right now.
