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?
I bought one at the Kentucky Klassic shoot from Big Jim.

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 second big jim's, I also bought one.
I think Bob Lee has some too.
The Bob Lee hats are on sale, and I noticed a camo hat advertised w/ short bill in the new TBM.
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
Gray Wolf has the short brim in Predator fleece for $9.95
This is a very nice short-billed cap from ASAT. I have one and like it. http://astacamo.stores.yahoo.net/bacapshbi.html

Bob Lee! just brought 2 of them, the first one is still going strong after 6 seasons.
bought mine from Assenhiemers.
hey allen, thanks 4 the link on asat camo. i saw some nice marino wool stuff i never knew existed.
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.
sportsman guide has some mil surplus in drab that should fit the bill.
Black Widow carries them too.
This is what I use throughout the summer and early season.

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?
I've known you a long - long time and Yes would be the short answer to that question.
traditional bowhunter magazine has a short billed camo hat with their logo on the front.
