    Often better pricing than the bigger stores. They have a lot of stock also.

    Yes agree, great shop with sharp pricing and always good selection of local branded clothing that isn't in other Outdoor shops. If you have extra time - enjoy the conversation over the counter. I was up there a couple of months ago and came back on the second day to finish the conversation. Just needs a coffee machine in the shop lol.

    Jason (Looseunit), also pictured, has brought the business off Ken.
    It's come a long way since its beginnings of tussock country sports across the road, to what it is today in its current location.
    I have no doubt Jason will take it forward.
    Miles is staying on. Some may remember miles from Eides Sports.

    Greatest thing I’ve missed since moving away from the area.
    All the best to Wilson on his next venture

    I’ve been in there a couple of times. Awesome service, knowledgeable staff and good prices. A great place to have a yarn, even if you’re just browsing!
    An independently, hunter owner shop that I think we should support as much as we can.
