Looks Like Costa Is Having A Blast In Japan
January 11th, 2016Sneak Peek – Grey Ghost Gear at SHOT Show
January 11th, 2016Grey Ghost Gear and Grey Ghost Precision will have some new EDC and ballistic goodness to show you at the 2016 NSSF SHOT Show.
Here are a couple of teaser shots of their new pack. If you liked the “Throwback” you’re going to love the “Gypsy”. It looks great, rides well, is completely low profile and will age better than Dick Clark.
To get a look at the rifles, you’ll need to go to Booth #31000.
Strike Force from MATBOCK
January 11th, 2016 
So what is Strike Force. It’s little packet but packs a huge strike…(cough) force! This packet contains the same amount of energy as 2 Redbulls but is sugar/calorie free. A StrikeForce box holds 10 packets (picture) and retails for $10. MATBOCK also offerS 100 qty boxes as well.
I’ve tried it several times and I like the taste. What’s more, this liquid can be added to any potable water so there’s no need to transport loads of energy drink cans.
