    Africa...when will you be priced out??

    This is the problem for most people. Two years ago I decided that continuing to travel and hunt was going to require a complete physical makeover of my body. Either I changed it or it was going to become severely limiting. I lost 100lbs and started to work out again. I change my diet and...

    I Think I’m Overthinking

    You’ll be fine with a 7x57. The right bullet choice and shot placement is more important. Bring the rifle you have the most confidence in your ability to make a cold bore shot off sticks, at ethical ranges. If that rifle is in a very common caliber, even better. -jm2c

    Africa...when will you be priced out??

    It costs what it cost and I can when I can. If I can’t, so be it. I’ve been lucky enough to do what I have done so far. Most never get to do it at all. Prices will come down as the boomers age out of the physical ability to hunt.

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    They replaced your eco drive battery, case back gasket and tested for quartz accuracy. The pressure test included the case deformation test. The movement used is rated to accuracy of +/- 15 seconds per month. EcoDrive batteries last about 10 years or so before they have to be changed.

    Decided to make a embossed Brass Coin set of the Big 5

    All thank you for the responses. I wasn’t expecting people wanting to purchase. Let me think about this. I need to see if I can produce more of these at once and speed the clean up/polish/antiquing processes. If I can I will consider make some for sale. I find creating relaxing a fun. I...

    Decided to make a embossed Brass Coin set of the Big 5

    That would be possible in stainless and blued. I’d do it in a basic 36mm and 39mm field watch. I’d theme it like a scroll work double side plate with scene inlay. That’s a project for later though.
