CLEAN UPS, PICK UPS AND SEEING CLEARLY PDF Print E-mail
-- By Oliver Shapiro
Fatigue yet lingering from the first day, and with the morning’s fast breakfast of thick oatmeal weighing my belly down, I quickly leafed through some of the promotional literature I’d already accumulated before starting the day’s investigation in earnest.  With a couple of ideas of some goals for the day, I dived in.  

Hey—can’t those guys keep their booth clean??  Not to worry; Ammo-Up www.ammoupusa.com was merely demonstrating the ease with which their Pick-Ups were clearing the ground of shotgun shells and centerfire/rimfire brass.  Anybody who has to clean up pretty much any kind of shooting range will find the task greatly eased with this carpet-cleaner-on-steroids, which sweeps up the “spents” and dumps them into a basket, easily removed and re-inserted as needed.  Works on concrete, carpet, dirt, sand, clay and grass (as long as the grounds are reasonably well kept). Cool!
  

Yeah; I may prefer these low-tech kinds of stuff but the hard fact is that at any one time I’m likely to have all sorts of electronics on me: camera, cell phone, GPS…the list goes on. 
Speaking of cell phones, ever get frustrated by the inconvenience of carrying one around with you?  I mean, they come in handy, but those belt clips always malfunction; they get inadvertently activated in your pocket (which isn’t even designed for cell phones… what’s taking those clothing manufacturers so long, anyway?)… Well, you and your customers are already familiar with holsters, and here’s one for which nobody even needs a CCW permit. The Fast Draw www.originalfastdraw.com is a jim-dandy, belt-mounted, cell phone holster, comfortable and easy to use.  Right-handed, left-handed, strong or weak hand, and in a variety of colors and finishes even (including camo, for those turkey and bow hunters who really refuse to stay out of touch).  Where can I get one?  

“I never knew there were so many flashlights out there,” remarked one tired dealer I encountered from
Massachusetts.  Truly, he’s on to something, as it seems that everybody and his brother is jumping onto this bandwagon these days.  Yet the folks at First-Light USA www.first-light-usa.com are definitely on to something worthwhile.  Instead of that same old cylinder-with-a-bulb-on-the-end-and-a-battery-inside, these folks understand that we all have just two hands and often don’t want to—or simply can’t—be using one of them just to hold a light.  Ergonomics is the key, and the Liberator Tactical Light wraps around the palm of the hand, allowing that same hand to be gripping a firearm, holding a dog’s leash, climbing a ladder, handcuffing a perp, or practically anything else.  No more stowing that stick flashlight in your mouth, between your chin and neck, between or legs, or anywhere else. Cool!
