    I have one swazi windbreaker top thats all.
    If youve ever met the guy you can form your own opinion. Mine is over priced, over hyped, and self centred.
    Had the defence force contract. It was shit gear

    The difference between one mans opinion and the likes of Swazi, F&G and H&F saying what they said is that they are all far more prominent in the community and the media/Government took their opinion as representative of all firearm owners. Especially when it was just trying to save themselves or to get their 5 minutes of ignorance broadcast to the nation.
    If you don't think one persons opinion is worth more than anothers, have you not heard of the Kardashians or other influencers?

    The thing that pissed me of the most about H&F is that they said they didn't sell ARs anyway, yet the next magazine that came out had AR15s and 9mm Rugers in there!

    I'm in the market for a new jacket, unfortunately for me H&F have a great sale on Hunters Element and also stock some exclusive products of theirs.
    I've messaged Hunters Element to see if those products are available elsewhere as I wont be spending another cent in H&F, I look forward to their reply.

    Whilst can save nearly 50% with the current H&F sale, those bastards wont be getting my money even if I'm the looser at the end of it.

    Good on ya mate.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Ionce put a 180gn .303 softnose into a hare-all i got back was part of a back leg -the rest was composted over assorted forest gridsquares.
    my .303 is also great for knocking dead possums out of trees.

    I sold some Kuiu stuff so feel a little 'out of stock'. @Masperjay especially jackets. I am going through a First Lite phase and it is really very good gear.

    Primarily Fjällräven out of Sweden. - but don't touch their Aus/NZ website. It's not got their full range.

    There are a few other brands I'll have a look when I'm home.
