Has anyone any experience of NOMAD products. Do they do as advertised 'Keep you dry in ALL weathers?'

Spotted these at the CLA and noticed them on offer at John Norris at half the price - Are they any good?

Back in the spring I was looking for a mid range pair of binoculars for woodland stalking to replace my ageing Zeiss Jena's. A trip to the BASC Gamekeepers fair found me walking onto the Meopta stand with pound notes in my back pocket and an urge to part with them should the right moment arise...

I have a Nighteater scope 6-25 x 44 on my .17HMR which is okay but suffers once I'm practising at our tunnel rifle range - Burred, unclear and halo image. Up against my S&B 8x56 its a joke. I want to change the scope but as I use the rifle for vermin and range work I don't want to spend a...

Working in marketing I often get interesting, if not strange, challenges laid before me. One such recent challenge was a project commissioned by a local Church that wanted to understand why they were seeing more funerals than Christenings, more deaths than marriages, in essence they were losing...

Visiting the game fair last year I was searching for a smock top that I could wear in those awkward early spring/autumn months when its liable to be damp with the occasional heavy down pour. I wanted something soft that was quiet to stalk in and felt comfortable and light to wear but offered...

I bought a Nomad fleece with hood at the game fair last year. I nearly walked away as they wanted £240 but I am so glad I decided to fork out the extra. I wore it picking up during the game season and have just come back from a 2 hour stalk in the pouring rain. The sales guy told me it was 100%...

Booked an evening stalk with Nick, my first outing, so very apprehensive and excited. What a great guy - put me at my ease straight away. Lovely piece of ground with great views and clearly an abundance of roe and muntjac. Discerning, that as a beginner, I would need an easy stalk, Nick took...

Like you I was on the look out for a good quality stick. After much searching I stumbled across Reloading Solutions in Oxford who advised me to take a look at the Vanguard Quest T62 Tri pod (Although also do bi and mono sticks). The greatest asset of the stick is that the head swivels 360...

New to stalking - mainly woodland, and want to get a stalking stick but I'm not really sure what to get. What are the +/- of BI or TRI and which are the brands I ought to be looking at?

Has anyone had any practical experience of PRVI Partizan rounds in .243 for deer stalking? I use Federal at the moment and that works well in my Varberger but is expensive to use on foxes and I want an all rounder to be able to put through the gun at varying bullet weights. The couple of...

Thanks guys you've been brilliant and I'm getting the jist of the advice - Buy right first time around or regret it later on! It's certainly made me think that I need to take a good hard look at more than one brand

I'm in the market for a new pair of binoculars - most of my stalking will be on Roe or Fallow in or around woodland. As I'm new to stalking I don't want to pay a kings ransom for a pair and I'm looking at Minox or an older pair of Zeiss. Any help would be really appreciated.

New to stalking although I have been shooting for 30 odd years and run a local 1200 acre driven shoot I'm looking for some one to show me the ropes. PM me if you can help with your contact details. Best Shaun
