Welcom to SHOT Show!Well, we got throught he first day of SHOT with a couple of hiccups in the process (hotel, traffic, etc.) but the overall experience has been terrific so far. We will admit right off the bat that were not prepared for the sheer magnitude of the SHOT show and its number of vendors that were present. Yesterday was pretty much just a recon session for us to see the layout of the land, make a few contacts, and see how the whole process worked. But, along the way, we were still able to see some great new products, but today, we will be getting down to more detail and setting up opportunities for us to review the newest gear in the future. Also, even though we saw a lot of great grear, we won't be able to put up some of the pictures we took until later this evening.
Grabber's RopeLokSome of the things that I saw off the bat that drew my attention were newly available items that were present at the show for us to handle and get some information on. One of the first things I came across was an item called a RopeLok. It's an interesting concept that will aid those of us who are challendge with tying snug and secure knots in rope. It's a length of rope either 8 or 15' long with a polymer tube-like housing at the end. You run the opposite end of the rope through the tube, and then you flip down a lever on top of the tube that digs into and locks the rope in place. Much like a Chinese finger puzzle, the harder you pull, the tighter is gets. I had a chance to meet the inventor and his family, but the product is actually distributed by Grabber. This a very handy item for those people that do a lot of travelilng or play in the outdoors. Check it out when you get a chance.
