    Fly's Eye Shooting Sticks from African Sporting Creations

    These look more compact and less unwieldy than the other quad systems I have seen. Interesting.

    Knife sharpener

    I have great results with the Ken Onion Work Sharp as well. Easy to use, and you can adjust angles with the turn of a dial.

    Probability of hunting in 21

    Tanks statement is absolutely correct. I will add that I had never used an agent for any travel (including intl)....prior to reaching out to Travel Express for my first Safari trip. The primary reason was the fact that I would be traveling intl with firearms for the first time. I considered it...

    500 Jeffery Recoil?

    I use them. Have been very happy. The gentleman that owns/runs the place is helpful and available for phone calls. Excellent customer service. I reached out to them after reading a couple posts, I seem to recall, from our esteemed member @redleg. Maybe others will chime in. I do not...

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    I use a Luminox for everyday, fishing, hunting, golf. Good watch, functional. Also use the face as my “measure of success” for practice groups off sticks (.22 LR) at 75 yd range!! Figure if I can hit a watch face, I should be ok on live targets. .22LR Range Shots from African Shooting Sticks...

    Sharp knives

    For what it’s worth....I’ve used combinations of Lansky V notches, Arkansas Stone, sharpening steels, etc. What I’ve moved to is the Work Sharp (Ken Onion Edition). All work, but all have disadvantages as well. Stone or rock: easy to carry, but more difficult to achieve exact angles. V notch...

    Best of luck to you. I couldn’t help but reference in my mind, Santiago from Hemingway’s “The Old Man and the Sea”....and no, I am not calling you “old”. As Santiago aged, he began only to dream of lions, seen in his younger days. Dreaming of the Lions are referenced 5 or 6 times in the...
