Ozbow

just to let all you keen hunters know that SCI Downunder Chapter will be holding their convention weekend at the Novatel Coffs Harbour on the 21st & 22nd of Feb. It will be a great weekend with all manner of hunting gear, outfitters, taxidermists & I will be attending with all our gear. So i...

Mark, the $ listed on the web page for the Micro Zoid shows $159.95 which I am guessing is in USD. You could email Spelean.... they are the wholesaler, so they won't tell you much but can put you in touch with a retailer who could give you a current $. I am thinking of opening an account with Spelea...

Russ, the G/Outdoors for memory has just enough room for you & your bow in the main tent & you could store your pack in the awning area. You can check out all the MSR tents & details at www.spelean.com.au & I got it wrong with the colour :oops: ..... beige & red not yellow. The m...

Hi Fellows, I sold my Huntech Bivvy bag last year after finding it way too small :cry: You couldn't even have your feet in an upright position ( size 10 ) & even the main body of the thing was tight ( I'm 5'10" & slim ) the waterproof hood when pulled over your nut to keep the rain out ...

Stickbow, after 35 years of creeping around the hills, most definately those critters we persue have a in built warning system. Much like a gun dog is born with the ability to point or cast for birds without any teaching at all, our game animals from their first breath are on the alert for something...

Bring back winter, thats what I say The sooner this hot weather with all it's flies & bugs goes the sooner we all can get back into the bush & walk the hills in relative comfort & the meat won't go off either

Now fellows you may think I am bias about camo ( seeing as I make the stuff ) but if HUNTING & I mean HUNTING is your thing, then camo is the go. Since venturing deep into the abiss of camouflages I have had so many fantastic experiences mainly because you can approach ( or let the game approach...

Mik, with the demise :?: of Leidreiters tanning kits it become a natural alternative time as with the wattle bark method. I do believe there is a new tanning kit on the market, selling for approx $45. Happened to see one at the local gun store recently. I have a heap of skins salted away ready for t...

Howdy Folks, I gave up trying to achieve a shave sharp edge on my hunting knives a long time ago & bought a Lansky Sharpening Kit..... truly an amazing piece of gear..... a shave sharp edge every time. The draw backs of these are they are a tad bulky to take into the field but are ideal to have ...

Hi Trash, have you thought about taking Jerky out there with you.... or you could purchase that extremely functional Game Bag from Blackfoot Designs re auction, which as well as being a totally fly proof meat safe, doubles up as a meat drying safe as well..... now you can make you own Jerky on site,...

Good on you Vegie & hey Oz dollars are very, very welcome.

Hey it must be good if you guys couldn't find it. I do admit that the photo is a tad dark :oops: so I have lightened this next shot & revealed all!!! I am not in this shot.... hanging is a 1500mm + 750 rectangle of cloth.... I guess a person would blend in even better due to your shape. The samp...

Hi there everybody. I have been working for quite some time now on a camo pattern designed for Oz. As we all should know by now " breakup " patterns outperform all the others & Blackfoot Breakup is therefore a breakup pattern. Although green is not a neccesity in a camo I have intentio...

Hey Pete, it is a small world...... but anywhere you find a knife forum you'll be there. To everybody else, Peter does exceptional work & I'm fussy!!!!! He also manufactures the Blackfoot Designs Ultimate Hunting Axe which very soon you will be able to view at www.blackfoot.com.au or I am sure i...

Hi Erron, I did say most of us!!! You Victorians are another kettle of fish altogether...... most of you guys just want fleece!!! & hey thats ok I'm working on that also.... so many ideas & not enough time to get them all going

Hey its good to see all you guys researching this stuff....wonderful articles. I have been making my gear in the predator fall brown & do spend half my day at a gun show explaining to people that you don't need green in your camo for it to work & thats only the ones that stop to talk about i...

I read with some interest in the comment by Glenn Newell that the pattern of the Blackfoot Designs gear might not grab you on the shelf but seen in the scrub might change your mind. Hey Glenn can you expand on what you think about the pattern & why it didn't catch your eye at first sight..... is...

Hi Cher, nice to here from you. Lets hope the boys put my Game Bag to some good use up north. Recieved your email Charly & have sent you a reply.

Hey There Mr X, yes anything is possible. I did mean customising as in adding pockets,cuff closures etc but I can make from your design...only thing is if its a totally new design the cost could be steep as there is a lot of work in pattern making & then putting your design together, but hey I,m...

Hi Guys, that Blackfoot Gear is top shelf...... hey that is because I am the bloke who manufactures it... yes, right here in Oz. I have been hunting for 30 yrs & got fed up with not being able to get a hold of top quality hunting clothing that suited OUR needs, not O/S conditions, so I started d...
