"For hunters who demand the very best!"
"This review will cover Sporting Wood Creations in general and their ever expanding and diverse line of ‘acroutrements” for the shooting sports enthusiast.  Like so many successful businesses, this venture came about as a result of someone’s personal passion.  Whether you are a hunter or huntress or just a romantic about all things Africa, you owe it to yourself to investigate Sporting Wood Creations and the many interesting products they offer."

"Tripod style Shooting Sticks are an African Hunters best friend, furnishing stability on off-hand shots, but it’s important to practice with them extensively before the hunt.  The ones from Sporting Wood Creations are available with zebra tops…really cool!"
"The African Shooting Sticks from Sporting Wood Creations are the best made.  They are extremely steady, well conceived and executed, with unique features not found on sticks from other makers.  Practice with shooting sticks is essential and hunting with the set you own and with which you have practiced is common sense—these break down and fit in the travel case with my rifles.  We recommend Sporitng Wood Creations sticks to all of our clients. "
"If possible get some African Shooting Sticks and practice with those.  One company, Sporting Wood Creations makes nice commercial ones."

"While black polymers and alloys give hunters useful items cheap, I prefer wood in things like shotgun stocks, bows and arrows and, well, shooting sticks. Sticks are still wood at Sporting Wood Creations, which manufacturers take-down Hickory sticks. They’re beautifully made with machined alloy connectors.  At 70” assembled they are tall enough for any offhand shot; at 36” disassembled, they are perfect for sitting or kneeling shots and will fit in your airline approved gun case. Sturdy and lightweight, they’re also a lot more photogenic than the black ones!"

"The folks at Sporting Wood Creations have been making fine shooting sticks and other Safari Inspired items for years.  A welcome addition to their product line is a new take-down version of their shooting sticks.  I am definitely not a gadget guy.  I like traveling light with as little equipment as necessary but these shooting sticks make the cut. "
"Our good friends at Sporting Wood Creations have bought out an excellent piece of field gear. I put the sticks through a rather rigorous evaluation in fair weather and foul.  What happened? Absolutely nothing.  Just what I was hoping for."

"Dear Jim,
I really like the African Shooting Sticks.  Let me know if you need an endorsement."

Jim,
Just arrived back from Africa.  Your sticks worked wonderfully. I never could have made the demanding 150 yard shot on my trophy kudu using the sticks in camp.   I’ll send some pictures of me shooting the kudu and buff off of them in a few days.

Jim,
At first I thought your product was a little pricey but after using and comparing them to several other (lower priced) products I have come to the conclusion they are worth every penny.  Great product!

Jim: (first letter)
I received my sticks today.  I never thought I’d hold a rifle so steady on such a thing but I was so very wrong.  Have not tried them out on the .416 but was very impressed with the entire package.  I will be taking them to Tanzania with me in a few months.  Wish me luck!

Hello Jim: (second letter)
Back from Tanzania.  Your sticks were quite the hit.  If you would, I need three new sets, the platinum/hickory ones with the cape buff tops.

"Theuns’s knives are in a class of their own.  One of the unique features is the way he colors the steel."

"They are fine examples of the best of the knife makers art."

"I skinned an elk with my Big Bowie last week and it worked beautifully and kept a great edge.  Regarding the Prinsloo folder, I fell in love with it when I saw it on the table and when I got home I compared it to my others (that in some cases cost twice as much) and they could not hold a candle to it.  Please send me photos when you get your next shipment."

Jim,
Thanks for spending so much time with me to get my Trophy Room just right.  The African Spears, Shields and Battle Axe are the first thing folks are drawn to when they enter.  The Rhodesian Teak Bar, Pub Tables/Stools and cane stand are even nicer than in the pictures.  I have never seen any wood quite like it and the quality is outstanding!  Can’t wait to get the other items, please let me know when to expect them.

Sporting Wood Creations;
I just sent you an order for three more belts that I plan to give out as gifts this Christmas.  I have worn my Crocodile Belt almost every day for the past year and it still looks brand new.  The last one I ordered from a big mail order outlet cost about half as much and delaminated after about two months.  You always get what you pay for!  Everything you told me at the Vintager’s Show was spot on and thanks for offering such a great product.

Jim,
Your tusk key chains were a big hit with the customers who came into town for the Bristol Races.  Thanks for the suggestion.  Any ideas on what you will do for an encore?

Jim,
Please send me three more key chains…..friends and family can not keep their hands off them.  Have you considered adding a steel cable so the rightful owner does not have to worry about them wandering away?  I would pay double as at this rate it is going to cost me far more than that!

Jim,
I received my first Warthog Tusk Gun Rack and it is just what I wanted.  I have been burned on the internet in the past and was reluctant to even go down that path again so I apologize if the questions I asked were a bit over the top. 

I just had a bunch of friends over for a Superbowl party and your rack generated a lot of interest.  Expect some nice orders from Northeast Tennessee.  Enclosed please find tracings, wood and tusk selections for six more Gun Racks.  Call me with any questions.

"There are georgeous bookcases, tables/chairs and gun racks made from the finest exotic hardwoods available.  All the furniture is built by a veteran cabinetmaker and beautifully finished.  I am particulary partial to the ivory tusk gun racks that are custom fitted to one’s dangerous game rifle."

Sporting Wood Creations,
My husband loved the bookcase.  He put all his hunting books in it the day it arrived. The Australian Jarrah is very different from anything I have seen and is very beautiful.  I think we will be calling you about a matching table in the not too distant future.
