Title: Short bill camo hat
Post by: willob on April 27, 2010, 10:55:00 AM
I am looking for a short bill camo hunting hat.  I like the baseball style hat for early season.  Any ideas on where to look?

The Nocking Point has a good one with a wire in the brim so you can shape it however you like. Different camo's available and maybe even some plain colors? sort of a military style baseball cap with a short brim. Gene Wensel turned me on to them, in one of his posts as "MY NEW FAVORITE HAT". I think they were $9.95. A good buy. I wear one of mine all the time.

I think you have to call them, I don't see these hats listed in their catalog, but they do have them.

I have one made in Predator Camo. I'll have to check the manufacturer for you. I looked and looked for several years and finally found this one on a shelf at the local bow shop. The guy told me he's carried them for a long time but immediately sells out as soon as he gets any in. It's not a particularly good hat, but it's the only one I could find with a short bill!

if it's in the predator pattern it can't be that bad...best pattern there is!

Just trim off the bill to what ever length on any cap.  A little frayer edge won't scare anything away  :)   DDoc

This is a very nice short-billed cap from ASAT. I have one and like it.  http://astacamo.stores.yahoo.net/bacapshbi.html

Bought one two weeks ago from BigJim. The type he sales has wire in the brim that allows you to shape it any way you desire.

I hate to admit it, but I just used a pair of scissors to cut the bill down on one of the 1000 camo caps I have....... am I really that cheap?
