    A bull deflector is a piece of equipment on some paper-making machines that helps with drying paper and ensuring the right amount of pulp is available to make the desired paper. When we say paper-making machine, we're not talking just the stuff you put in your printer, but facial tissues and toilet paper specifically.Johnny, the principal owner of Bull Deflector LLC worked in paper-making for over 30 years before retiring and turning one of his many hobbies into a full-time gig. He's also sold sports memorabilia on eBay for many years under a bull-deflector-related username, so when trying to decide on the name of this business, Bull Deflector was an obvious choice!
