When
Sporting Classics magazine was first created twenty-four years ago,
the field of outdoor publications was pretty well populated, some
would say, over-populated. There were so-called magazines for every
conceivable activity and quarry in the world of hunting and fishing,
it seemed. |
 They
called it “Classics” because they
felt the outdoor writers and wildlife artists of by-gone eras should
not
be forgotten - that those giants and pioneers of the past had as
much to offer the reader of today as they did the readers of their
era.Today, the tradition continues. Each issue combines the classic and the current, for the information and pleasure of the lucky subscribers. The latest in shotgun technology precedes a fish tale as old as all outdoors. In addition, the lavish use of original art work and illustrations is a visual celebration of every sport depicted. It’s a well-known fact that readers keep, even collect, their Sporting Classics magazines... every well-thumbed issue can be a valued reference or a walk down memory lane. To subscribe to Sporting Classics, call 800-849-1004 or visit www.sportingclassics.net Sporting Classics Magazine, P.O. Box 23707, Columbia, SC 29924. |
Chippewa Boots |
||
As
children we often have to experience a sensation to understand
a word. You can
be told “Hot” ten times, but it is only when you touch
and feel the heat that you really understand what “Hot” means. In the same way, I could never under-stand why, given the choice, someone would opt for a pair of heavy hunting boots in preference to one of the modern lightweight styles. Well, while shooting quail in Texas this January, I really learned what the word “Cactus” means… it means “Pain”! Those needle-like cactus spikes can penetrate the sole of a boot like a hot knife through butter! I quickly understood the value of a boot of solid construction. |

Light-weight,
opens out flat and can be rolled or folded to fit in luggage.
Single or Strapped- together Pair which can be used
separately. Bridle leather, With moisture-wicking fabric lining.
Single: $585.00 Double: $1075.00 
But
I still did not want unnecessary weight. Then it occurred to me
that if a boot
could prevent a snake bite, it must be cactus-proof! So, if you
join me in the South this season for some quail shooting, you will
find
me resplendent in a pair of Chippewa Lightweight Snake Boots. Light
weight, tough, durable and comfortable with light leather inside,
heavy leather and some amazing “ballistic snake-proof” material
on the outside, I can now go where I previously feared to tread!  |
