In memoriam - Jason Hairston Kuiu Founder has passed away

Thoughts and prayers for his family and friends.
 
Praying that God will sustain and give much grace to those left behind.
 
I just received a clothing order in the mail today from KUIU...

Praying for his wife, children and others close to him. RIP fellow sportsman.
 
Very sad news, didn't know him but its always sad when someone so young passes way too soon, condolences to his family, RIP Jason.
 
Latest is Jason took his own life...CTE may have played a role. See Kuiu website.
RIP fellow hunter... Prayers for his family.

Oh my, that is terrible, and I can only imagine the pain his family is going through right now. I was not expecting that.
 
Prayers for his wife and children.
 
It is now being confirmed that the cause of death was suicide. Just terrible news, you never know what is really happening with others. There is help out there if you need it.
 
praying for the family.
 
Very sad. I'll be keeping his family and friends in my prayers.
 
Sad news. R.I.P. Jason. Prayers for his family.
I had read he been on a sheep not just last month with Donald Trump Jr.

Yes he was, and killed a monster sheep.
 
He’s a traditional bowhunter, right?

How did he get CTE? Sport? Military service?

I enjoyed his longbow moose adventure.

Best wishes to his family and friends.

He spent 2 years playing in the NFL.

He played in college, and sustained some injuries while playing. I read that when he played he lead in with his helmet, not the way the game is being played today. He (Jason) said that he knew he suffered from CTE. Unfortunately CTE can not be diagnosed while he was alive, and CTE can only be diagnosed after death.

Tragic he couldn't reach out to someone to get help. This tragedy is heartbreaking in more than one way.

It's always sad when someone leaves us before they reach their full potential

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
