Title: Need help finding short billed cap
Post by: William Stewart on February 28, 2015, 07:21:00 PM

Curious as to where I can find a cap or hat that has a short enough bill that my string on my longbow will not touch before I reach my anchor point.  Hate having to turn my ball cap backwards to shoot.

Thanks in advance    :D

Big Jim's cap has wire as well. At $10 you can't go wrong.

If you want one for cold weather, the wool "coups cap" from Two Tracks is perfect. It has a two inch brim. I just got one, and was shooting yesterday, to test the bill length. Its short so your string doesn't hit it. But if it does, the brim is very soft and gives way.

They also have a fleece model, with the short bill.
