It’s a phenomenal time to be out, but it’s also important to understand the effect on our vision.

Blaze Camouflage – Safety while hunting
Recently, Ridgeline introduced a new range of Blue Blaze Camouflage, following on from Stoney Creeks addition earlier in the year. More options for safety can only be a good thing for hunters, and hopefully colour choices will encourage more people to wear blaze clothing so that they can be quickly identified in the bush. We have had a death in New Zealand this year…
Chilli & Lime Jerky (or Biltong?)
Jerky? Biltong? Yummy either way.
Cactus Outdoor Trade Supertrousers – Superhero Pants!
The kind of pants Superman would wear, if he was doing some part-time work as a contractor on a worksite.
Hunters Element Foxtrot Boots
An incredibly light hunting boot that provides stealth and comfort right out of the box.
The Hunters Element Foxtrot Boot meets the requirements of a lightweight, comfortable boot that provides more protection than a shoe, but doesn’t slow you down like a traditional, heavy boot.
The heavy duty Cordura in Desolve Veil camouflage and the Hydrafuse waterproof lining combine to provide a strong and waterproof stalking boot.
The moulded toe cap and heel stabiliser will keep you on track and on your target.
Deer Processing Course – May
Another great course, next one is September!
Rifle Cleaning and POI Shift
“Hey mate if I take stock off my rifle to clean after a wet Urewera road trip can it ruin my zero sorry if dumb question cheers”
Gun cleaning – just do it!
We all know the scenario, head out to the range or for a hunt, end up putting none (or minimal) rounds through a gun, then get home after a long day and get tempted to put the firearm straight back into the safe. Probably not the best of ideas. Gun cleaning needs to be part of your habitual routine.
Maximum Point Blank Range
You slowly make your way up to the clearing, careful to not make a sound, gently poke your head around the corner, then there it is. A deer – happily nibbling away on the edges of the forest, unawares of your presence.
Waterproof Jackets not as good as they used to be? This could be why.
Ever get the feeling that the older waterproof jackets were, well, just more waterproof?
