Graybeard Outdoors was created in 1996 as a personal website dedicated to information on handguns, hunting with handguns and reloading for handguns. By 1999 the site had grown into a powerful source of information on TC handguns and held an active repeat viewer base of over 10,000. This is also the same year we started the Graybeard Outdoors Product Tests and Reviews which is still very active today. We have since grown into one of the largest and most diverse Outdoors talk forum sites online today - a popular information source for gun owners and outdoor enthusiasts.

"A PICTURE'S WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS"
We are in the process of creating an online gallery of our launchers and merchandise. Please feel invited to visit our PHOTO GALLERY and... if you have any photos of our merchandise in use that you would like to share - simply send them along!

"TBL-37 At Sea." We are pleased to announce that our launchers have been chosen by two corporations which provide interdiction services off the African coast.  Our increasing profile within the "Less-Lethal-37mm" market has resulted in significant interest in our products by the sea-going law enforcement community. 

In addressing this particular market, Bates & Dittus LLC will be expanding their site to include information on "High Seas Security." Educational and public-interest articles regarding anti-piracy activity, maritime law, as well as updates about our involvement in these activities, will be posted.
