mick...i've had a couple of bunnies escape on me using judo's...just as i have had them climb up the shaft when struck with b'heads. Tougher than we give 'em credit for. I do have good results with the ace heads and also rubber blunts...although you'll have to tune your shfts differently as the only...

Hey Mick, they look like a really good little arrow holder. I'm not much of a bow quiver fan but always seem to gravitate towards them on the hotter days as i can then carry a camel back for water. I can never decide between my great northern and my selway and now will have to decide between that on...

I have several differing types of wood material coming in various configurations so if you can wait I'm sure something will come it to suit you. Conversely if you got yourself a Hill longbow then I'd....... s...

I always have a cat quiver in the truck or camp at least in case of serious rain. Once you get used to them they are a truly great qiuver and the quickest way to get an arrow on the string that i know of, with very little body motion. never my first choice but always have one handy

I am blind in one eye but still find that just for balance when holding, bino's beat monoculars every time. ALSO from experience i have found that the bigger bino's , whilst cumbersome , are worth their weight as they find the game where the smaller bino's won't.

Rest assured that there are both pigs and goats within 1 1/2 hrs of melbourne . Sadly they seem to take a fair ol' flogging from the dogging community.......It seems some people are in the habit of catching the pigs up north and releasing them down here. Having said that i dropped a good size sow 2 ...

I struggle to answer this question. I have that many knives that i know they's all get jealous if i took just one. Still in a pinch i'd leave the custom's at home and probably go for my twenty year old Puma . It's skinned sambar, pulled prickles and opened tins of beans..... you can't beat sentiment...
