Cartoony Zombie Apocalypse Comes to the Range

Champion-TargetsIt is October and Halloween is just around the corner, plus with AMC’s The Walking Dead back on the air you might be in the mood to shoot some zombies – without having to deal with that whole zombie apocalypse and the breakdown of civilization thing.

This year Champion Targets has introduced its new VisiColor Cartoon Zombie targets that are added to its line of photo-realistic zombies. These cartoon versions off some less menacing targets – for those that might have nightmares about the undead and all that.

Outdoor Retailer Show: Shelter for the Zombie Apocalypse

There seems to be a strange – and yet somewhat serious – trend in “zombie apocalypse” gear. The truth is that the zombie apocalypse likely won’t ever happen, but movies and TV shows must have people so worried about it that various brands are jumping on board.

Among one new product introduced at the recent Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City was the Zombie Apocalypse Backpack/TentPak from High Peak USA. Basically this is just a serious survival tent that is among the gear included in the kit. It features a two-man tent, numerous accessories including machete, multi-tool, first aid kit and more. Is it enough to survive something that will never come? Indeed, and it will probably be a nifty camping set too.

SHOT Show: Zombie Kit

While the notion of a zombie apocalypse is likely (and hopefully) just a thing for movies and TVs, the popularity of it clearly is having an impact in the real world. At this week’s SHOT Show in Las Vegas Otis Technology, is introducing the Zombie Gun Cleaning System, which is designed to clean all 5.56MM rifles, 9MM and 45 caliber pistols, and 12 gauge shotguns.

There isn’t anything here that will actually stop the walking dead – for that a good firearm will of course do, at least if movies and TV are to be believed. But the kit does pack everything you’d need to keep your firearms ready just in case you do need to take on a zombie. Continue reading SHOT Show: Zombie Kit
