Today at SHOT we were happy to find a new product by Thermacell. This is literally a life-saving product as mosquitoes can carry the deadly West Nile Virus and the woods and marshes I hunt are inundated with these pests. This year they debuted the Max Life Mats which give 12 solid hours of operation time. That means less maintenance and more continual protection. Just another example of innovation by Thermacell.

One of the most interesting things I have seen in awhile is a device from Ozonics that uses ozone (the gas) to cleanse human scent. The idea came from a dentist who uses the gas and developed into something to help erase human scent as it leaves the hunter in the blind.

TFG Digital Publisher Elliott Donnelly fell in love with Sightmark’s digital night vision scope. The Photon XT 4.6X425 Night Vision Riflescope retails for $599.

SHOT is full of characters. We ran into this guy who had sort of a Zorro look and did some of the most impressive pistol tricks we have ever seen.

More to come…
