Girls with Guns Clothing – Huntress, Non-Insulated Mossy Oak Hunting Boots

By Lora Gene Young

GWG Huntress Boots – Spike camping on a beach in Northern Territory Australia

These are an awesome boot I am really enjoying wearing around the Australian Outback. Long, hot days need a light weight boot that keeps my feet comfortable and cool even in the scorching sun. This boot is mid-height which provides ample ankle support but is not tall enough to be hot and chafe my ankles or calves. The boot is water proof for getting through wet, muddy areas or for washing up heads, but still breaths to help keep my hot, sweaty feet comfortable and dry.

Unfortunately, there are no easy aide pull on tabs to help with putting them on in the morning. Also, if you are against pink in your hunting wardrobe, there is some pink on these boots. The pink is limited to the logo, laces and a bit near the sole. Most of this gets dirty and covered very quickly! They are a great Mossy Oak pattern for the rest of the boot.

Overall, the Girls with Guns Huntress Boot is a great boot for hot weather and moderate terrain. I love them for use in Australia and would recommend them for Texas and similar hunting environments

Confessions Of A New Archer

Our newest prostaff member Lora Gene Young is no stranger to the world of hunting, as you can see in her blogs about hunting internationally. But archery is something totally new to her. I was so excited when she told me that she was going to give archery a try this year and I'm excited to share with everyone what she learns along the way. Here's what she has to say about her first 2 days of shooting:

"OMG am I loving this! I was a bit apprehensive to start. Felt like I had waited too long to start a new discipline. That feeling is all craziness, never too late to start a new hobby. Sure, I won't be ready to use archery in hunting season this year, but I hope improving my archery skills will lead to improvement in other areas as well. In the future, I look forward to longer hunting seasons and more opportunity to finally get that big buck. 

Tips for first timers, don't overdo it. Start slow, just a few arrows at a time. You don't want to tire yourself out the first day, it will deter you from continuing the next day. 

Go for good grouping. Don't worry about where the first shot hits, maintain the same aim and evaluate your grouping.

Have fun! Archery should be something you enjoy, don't stress."
