2026 SHOT SHOW releases

[mt100gr.]

Backup sensors alone save about 100 kids lives a year.

16 year olds by nature “can’t drive without all the gadgets to remind them” they are driving. The world has taught them to have zero attention span. I doubt you have raised the one that does….their brains have literally not finished forming at 16.

That's considering any/all drivers backing over kids. Not just youthful drivers at the wheel. Think soccer mom in a Suburban running late.

Don't get me wrong, I have 3 daughters that I will defend and protect to the end, but they will all learn to drive in a vehicle that requires them to f'n drive the thing!!

My oldest has her learner's permit right now and we have about 80% of her practice hours logged. She's definitely not perfect, but her 02 Subaru doesn't make shit up to cover for her.

Kids that are HANDED gadgets that do shit for them don't develop an attention span, but they can still learn.

Sorry for the derail

Back to SHOT Show!!!

Yeah this ain't hard guys, we all have social media. His badge has his name: Bret. Quick lookup on LinkedIn and he's a Sr Product Manager employed by Benelli for 7 years.

Oof. Tell me the engineers discussion went over your head. That guy was completely clueless. Good thing it’s not the most important product showcase of the year.

Did Tikka drop the ball? No 6 Creed. Did they announce anything?
What was the best new bullet introduced? I’m planning to buy some Sierra 6mm and 25 cal TMK’s.
What was the best new product introduced? My vote is the TMK’s. It would’ve been the NX6’s but I was hoping for different reticle choices.

Its a new mountain ascent with a fugly stock but with a floorplate. Searching new kimber mountain ascent on Google should provide some info not from the kimbee website which has seemed to block NZ

If only they'd nix the bag ride cutout and do a short barrel suppressor ready option... Would check all my boxes

I wanted a 6 GT in the Ace Target

There's a stock in the backfire video(very briefly) that looked like it had the negative comb similar to a rokstok. He didnt say any details on it though

The new vortex rf binos have my interest. And the backfire chassis looks like it will be a great option at the price.

I think that may be the foundation remnant?

There's a post on their Facebook that the Internets won't let me share

Ill have to check it out. Dont know much about foundation stocks other than they are heavier.
