Review: Coast HL5 Headlamp
Headlamps are extremely useful items to have around. Being able to work with both hands, in dark conditions, is especially desirable for hunters and campers alike. Field dressing a Rabbit whilst holding a torch is not for the faint hearted and usually results in a torch covered in blood and guts. Perhaps you’re like me [...]
Shed full of Pigeons!
I visited the shed, a pigeon problem, well it was a big problem, they had made a real mess of this place! I could hear them as soon as I stepped out of my ute. Talking to the owner he said they had been here for years but nothing had been done to remove them. [...]
Canada Abandons Long Gun Registry
With all the anti-gun sentiment here in Australian politics, you have to wonder why we are so different to a place like Canada that actually trusts it’s citizens again after realizing that their firearms registry was a waste of time and money.
Firearms Amendment (Ammunition Control) Bill 2012 (NSW)
So here it is everyone. It is as bad as we all feared. It will not help the police in one bit. One thing I have to take HUGE issue with is the fact that shooter’s details will have to be kept by the dealer. This logbook basically would become a very highly valuable asset [...]
The lucky pit stop!

NSW Government to Ban Buying Ammunition for Firearms You Don’t Own.
The NSW Government with the support of the Greens is about to put legislation before parliament this week to make sure licensed firearm holders in NSW cannot buy ammunition for a firearm that they do not own. This has to be one of the most ridiculous laws I have have heard about since the Green’s [...]
Hunting Trips Gone Wrong!
With all this rain we’ve been having lately it’s been hard to get out for a shot. The paddocks around here have turned to slosh and the ground simply cannot hold any more water. Heading out in these conditions will mean that my winch will see more use than my rifle! As you do [...]
Review: Bear Grylls Ultimate Multi-tool
Bear Grylls survival series of tools and knives have been around for some time now and with the release of some new Bear Grylls products due for later this year, I decided that now would be a good time to review his Ultimate-Multi-tool. Just for anyone who doesn’t know who Bear Grylls is, he is [...]
Kids, Don’t be Disrespectful to Your Folks on Facebook…
Or your dad will get mad and shoot your laptop with his .45cal 1911. I have to say I reckon that this fella was completely justified in what he did: (video below)
Cartridge Profile: 300 Weatherby Magnum
I’m a big fan of Roy Weatherby and his associated rifles. I don’t agree with all his ideas but the Weatherby history has interested me for a long time and both the Mark V and Vanguard rifles are among my favourites. This article is about my favourite Weatherby cartridge, the .300 Weatherby Magnum. Even with [...]
