hey Optic, Have you had it long? Was it scary? Easy to use? Successful? Fun? Looks the duck's guts, expensive, but top shelf.

I've read in shooting magazines of people using a climbing chair to get up to a good vantage point ,Maybe near a game trail or wallow and waiting for game to come by. Has anyone used one? or know of anyone using one? Make a good new toy for the hunter who has everything

I was gonna get another 5 gun Buff bronze series at Cleaver for $250, but saw their 7 gun for $309, so bought one yesterday. Now I'll have room for the Lanber 12G O/U when my PTA comes And I haven't got any military rifles, or in between calibres lol

Thanks for the link, -couldn't find the item on their site for the life of me. Cheers, Colin

Thanks for the tip, Jason, I've just ordered one. Cheers, Colin

That's the way I did it, got the whole of australia on Shonkey

Anyone out there got a suitable method of protecting your hearing while hunting? I've got Peltor stereo ear muffs which I use at the rifle range, and they work great, but I don't want to walk around the bush wearing them for half a day while hunting. I think it unlikely that in the heat of the moment, you've seen an animal you want to shoot, that you're gonna take off your back pack, fish out your ear muffs and then take the shot. In all the hunting magazines I've read, no one talks about this issue, everyone seems to walk around unprotected, and just take the shots when available. I suppose you could have ear plugs in your shirt pocket and stick em in before shooting, but that delay might cost you the animal. My hearing is stuffed already from using machinery without ear protection and I think my .308 blasting next to my ears is gonna take what's left. What do youse guys do?
