Doug from Camera Land's Day 3 SHOT Show ReportToday was a no appointment day. A day to walk the room, see what I could see and revisit a few places just to look again at a few products.
I did wind up turning a tomorrow appointment into a today appointment with
Element Optics. I was shock, thrilled and amazed to see their new
THEOS 6-36x56 FFP. "THEOS has entered the room – Created through a three year process of meticulous planning, careful crafting and brutal testing. With a completely re-engineered turret system, digital illumination control and a magnification range of 6-36x, we’ve raised the bar governing what a flagship should be and placed the Theos firmly on the throne. New features on this model include a revolution flag that provides a visual indication when you pass a full turn, a new zero-stop mechanism that requires no tools, a digital illumination that clears up space around the parallax knob, and an aperture ring that manipulates the depth of field when needed."

I think they have introduced a home run in a very high quality competition grade riflescope.
I already told you about the new
Element Helix 2-16x50 SFP Riflescope - This new
Element Helix 2-16x50 SFP Riflescope Series is a wonderful addition to their line up of scopes. A 2-16x can pretty much take care of any hunting situation, I think you'll agree.

I got together with Ryan from
Leica. We kinda ran into each other so we chatted a while and we are planning to get together tomorrow so I can see the new
Leica Geovid Pro 10x42. Stay tuned and check in tomorrow for more.
I went back to the GPO booth and took another look at their new
GPOTAC 6x 4.5-27x50i FFP - LR PRO and I believe that in the under $1,500.00 category for this type of scope they have made a winner for sure.
Remember all week we are running a SHOT Show Week Sale so if it's not marked down already call, 516-217-1000, and we will hook you up.
Otherwise today was chatting with folks I hardly get to see and looking for new additions which I will be following up on tomorrow. Reports are about finding something important out that you were not yet aware of so this one is bigger than it seems because of the
THEOS 6-36x56 FFP.. You'll thank me.
If there is anything you're looking for please give us a call at 516-217-1000. It is always our pleasure to speak with you. Always give a call to discuss options and what would be best for your needs.
No Ice Cream today, but I did stop at Starbucks for some frozen Vanilla frothy something or other with a couple of espresso shots in it
