First a very Merry Christmas to all!

I have used the original Wick's Flags for around 17-18 years. Great flags, yup, I'm "old school". Penny and I have shot over the new Wick's Flags made by the Hill "boys", they are every bit as good as the originals. In another 17-18 years when my originals wear out I will be gettinig the new version, that's for sure.

By-the-way Ray, you notice I called you a "boy"? Send the check to my PO box! ;-)

It's going to be a long winter waiting for our new Sporters and the start of another season.

I'll second that as well. Great product at a great price and they stand behind their work like true craftsmen.
 
I love it when several folks are so happy with a product they endorse it with gusto and vigor. Be even nicer if someone would post a contact so more of us can share in the joy of some nice flags. I know I can do a search and find the data, but if y-all are going to tout the mans' work an e-mail address or telephone number would be icing on the cake.

Merry Christmas, all. bob
 
Ray and Bob made me a set to try around July. They have been out on the range night and day ever since. Except for Hurricane Sandy. They work just as well now as they did when new. As said they are a great product
Thank you Ray and Bob.

Look under "wind flags" in the classifieds, Single and double are listed separately. I found them in less time than it took to peck out this note. Al

Thank You Ray and Bob for bringing these flags back, since our new addition to the range we purchased a significant amount of these flags. Great product and great folks to do business with.

Regards,
Joe
 
These guys not only make great stuff, they are a class act to deal with. You want to supplement their traditional flags with a couple of the up/down ones as well.
 
Bob and I appreciate all the thanks, but the real thanks should go to Mr. Howard Wickham.

The man who designed and built those classic flags so many old timers still shoot over. He's given us a lot of help with the details and construction for keeping these flags alive. We owe it all to him. And he's a super nice guy to speak with. Thank you guys and thank you Mr.Wickham

I made the mistake of selling my original Wick dual vane flags several years ago. I was very happy when Ray and Bob Hill started making them again. I won't be selling the set of flags I bought from Ray and Bob! Good folks to deal with for sure.
