The fellow got a little carried away but it is top quality.

Beautiful
I'd be almost afraid to take it out as not to scratch it or chafe it
Once you put some wear and tear, it'll look awesome
I've been wondering what to make it out of for my 500 NE

I notice the "CB" initials. Did you pick that up from Craig Boddington along with a pair of his used skivvies?

Nice, now you just need a little bone handle skinner in a nice sheath to match the belt.

Wayyyyy too girly and is the CB for cow buffalo?

Too "Western" for my taste.

Giddy up!

Looks like there is room for your fanny pack to slide onto the belt.

Ouch!

Tex, you need to get a new buckle for that belt.

I think the "CB" stands for "COW-BOY"! Here's a pic of COW-BOY George when he was a young-un, complete with his "buffalo gun"!

Nice Tooling!
Come on guys - be a bit more supportive. You cant suggest a western belt buckle without the appropriate footwear to go along with it. Now I suggest these. Not only do they keep up with the western theme Shootaway wants to have for his safari, but they do have good traction, built for walking and have semi quite soles



And as long as we are completing the ensemble:


Perfect adventurer hat for hunting cow!

Shootaway,
I actually like your belt. Whoever made it was dam sure a leather-smith...it is high-quality. The tooling is impeccable...albeit I could do without the black letters.

My daily wear belt has similar tooling.

I prefer my cartridges in a sliding set of loops and open ended.

Holy shit! Honestly, that is the tackiest looking cartridge belt for Africa I have ever seen in my life time. You be pimpin bro. It hurts my eyes to look at it!

very well done!
exceptional quality!

shane

It is actually quite nice!

Lane, what do you use the yellow highlighter for while in the field tracking a buffalo?

Lane- You do know that those harnesses for the bino's can be adjusted so they don't smack you in the balls when you run , don't you?

Quality workmanship.

What's the old saying our mothers taught us? Oh yeah, "If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all". Seems your mother never taught you anything about good manners?

Our fathers also taught us "Paybacks are hell". Shootacow is simply getting his Paybacks! Yep, our Dads would be proud I do believe!

I suspect if it had been someone else's belt the comment would be different.

On a more serious note, I think you need to wear it for a while and make sure that the leather is not going to chafe the top of your thighs. The cartridge section in the middle is a bit wide (he could fit those cartridges into half that space) but then the ears left on either side of that for the CB engraving are almost certainly going to get in the way. It almost looks like you may have to wear it backwards to avoid it killing your legs.

On a tracking hunt you want as little weight and hinderance to your person as possible.
A simple cartridge belt, space for a knife, small gps and camera. Ideally all pouches that can slide so as to allow you to use the belt as a strap, tourniquet, whip, restraint, sling etc.
Camelpack wit 3l water, first aid kit,extra ammo, space blanket, high energy low volume foods. Front pouch filled with tampons and plastic sheeting together with a roll of duct tape.

I would also suggest chatting to your PH about what he and the trackers are carrying as you dont want to double up and carry a bunch of junk around in the field.

Enjoy your hunt

Hey, you just have to look the part when you are tracking the laydees!

Looking at the first pics and then you wearing it now...are you buckling this behind you? With the buckle in front, I was thinking the majority of the cartridges would be waaaayyy to the side and behind. Looks like you just shifted the belt around?

Looks fine to me. Also, looks like a "G" to me rather than a "C". Use it with good success!

great looking belt i have 3 from westly richards nothing super fancy but nice dark leather. definitly a little western but still very nice

George,

If you like the belt who cares what anybody else has to say about it? Hope you enjoy it.

Exactly!

The more I see of these things, the happier I am for using a simple Uncle Mike's slip-on 10 round holder on my belt.

I use belt and cartridge holders from Texas Hunt Company. Has worked well so far. Yours is a bit too fancy/frilly for my taste. If you like it and it works more power to ya.

Another vote for Texas Hunt Co. 5 and 10 rounders.

Dutch

Very nice leather work imo.
Sure wish I was that skinny!
After all the crude comments I'd sure
never post a picture of my hunting rig.
This crap sure gets old, same shit all the time.

Yellow Pelican Mighty Lite. Weighs oz's but bright enough to spotlight varmints with. Numerous times have been caught in the bush at night...never leave camp with out it.

Been wearing that pair of 8X30 Swarovski's for 20 years from the Rockies to the Zambezi Valley...my ball's are still doing fine. But...thank you for your concern about them. If my balls do have issues...I will PM you for advice about them.

I like it but the sides are two large and they trap heat.
I might try and get him to do another one with a slight different pattern.This one is to my liking up front-I think it should then taper off slightly on the sides.
The cartridge loops were made perfect for my rds.I supplied the rds and the leather dried with my rds in them.
