Gear up for the start of the roe season, with all of the essential kit you’ll need to bag a buck.
Blaser Carbon Shooting Stick 2.0
The Carbon Shooting Stick features a patented pistol grip that allows you to keep your rifle safely on target. The holding U-shaped rifle rest positioned on top of the pistol grip is now reliably secured with a new safety slide—unless the forearm of the rifle is fixed directly with the holding pin on the shooting stick.
The revised elastomer screws for the adjustment of the length allow for a stronger tightening and therefore an even greater stability in every hunting situation. A hard rubber pin (previously aluminium) secures the position of each foot and reduces noise to an absolute minimum.

Blaser R8 Ultimate Knife
After a successful hunt the new Blaser Ultimate Knife offers two possible uses: in addition to the knife blade, it has a gutting blade. Both are made of stainless Sandvik steel (12C27) and can rotate, so that each blade can be reliably connected to the Proflex handle.
Both the handle and the sheath are orange-coloured, so that they are easily located when, for example, hunting or gutting in difficult terrain. Like the R8 Ultimate, the Ultimate knife is designed for tough use.

Gateway1 1900 Prym1 Woodlands Boot
The new design of the Prym1 Woodlands print wellies has been developed as a concealment solution for the active hunter in wooded terrain. The pattern is produced using a hybrid camouflage in varying shapes, rather than sticks and leaves, to help achieve a natural concealment within the flora and fauna.
The design also offers hunters the flexibility of subtle movement across their terrain—allowing the Gun to cut the distance on their quarry, providing a closer, more successful shot. Available from mid-April.
