in reply to: A Big Thanks To All Of Our Veterans #156063
Yes ………………….. A big heartfelt THANX !!!!
in reply to: Rocket Scientist kinda question; #154794Yeah, I want to run a set of field , broadhead & blunt tips for distance but with the recent (much needed) rains my impact area out in the desert is currently overgrown with weeds making it hard to locate arrows and rattlesnakes.
in reply to: Dr Ed on The Meat Eater podcast #154762Got it.
Thanx !!!!
in reply to: Dr Ed on The Meat Eater podcast #154758Is there a linky thing to it ?????
in reply to: Brighten up the nock article #154741Did you pre-charge the black nocks with a U.V. Black Light ????? ……….. BwaaaaHaaaaHaaaa !!!!!
Been playing with the taper white base coat/ fluorescence nock/ white Velcro wrap for my Roving – Rabbit – Romps and am convinced that it’s definitely an advantage.
in reply to: Faces for Names #154642I always believed that my lost arrows are in Ullr’s quiver and await me in Valhalla.
in reply to: Brighten up the nock article #154605Heck, the bunch of knuckle draggers that I used to shoot with at Valley West had a rule that if somebody’s arrow ended up laying in front of the target everybody got one free shot at it. Amazing how often somebody who would be happy to score a 3 for 10 on a forty yard field target can bust somebody’s arrow at the same distance. More concentration paired with evil intentions, I guess.
What is this ‘aim’ of which you speak ???
Seriously, on the practice range I begin ‘aiming’ before I even take an arrow out of my quiver. Starts with proper body position…….. feet / stance, knees, hips, & shoulders. A moment is taken to think on the last shot where improvement was needed and to visualize the next shot sequence. (Think Vic Leach, old time tournament shooting ace) Aiming starts with concentration on the spot as I do the swing draw thru to anchor. A sense of muscle tension is arms to lats to back; push & pull thru the release. The actual aiming is, to me, simple. I’m left eye dominate / right hand shooter. My left eye ‘sees’ the angle of the arrow shaft up and down and my right eye ‘sees’ the arrow shaft straight to the spot plus the gap. Split Vision stuff to the max. While it looks like I’m holding at anchor, I’m actually continuing to draw, just much slower. Prevents the dreaded collapse & peeking. A level or depth of concentration triggers the shot.
Clear as mud, I know but it works for me.
in reply to: Meet the champs video ??? #154469I thought about White Phosphorus. If that’s what it was those guys were even tougher than we thought. I would be really leery of a bit of the stuff ‘splashing’ back onto the shooter upon release. Not something I would want on my pink & tender skin. The other reason I wonder about White Phosphorus is if I’m not mistaken, they shoot a hat with a smoke arrow. Seems as if it was the White Phosphorus the hat would have caught on fire.
In one of the scenes, they appear to dip the end of an arrow into a bucket before shooting. Possibly something like liquid Nitrogen ???
Still an awesome video. Now I need to watch it again, just because.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2021 #154451Thanx Robin !!!
My tribute to Monte Python’s Killer Rabbit. That’s target #7 on my home range.
I take my archery real serious, but if ya can’t have fun, too …………………
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2021 #154241I try to look at compound shooters as future traditional archers ………… but sometimes I have to look really hard.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2021 #154170I think that they ‘hunt’ that way ’cause they don’t know how to hunt any other way. More than once on a two track or in a sand wash I’ve heard a vehicle coming and simply stepped off to the side in the shade of a tree but still in plain sight and watched them drive on by with no recognition. Kind of annoying when it happens a mile back in a Wilderness Area.
Sorry to hear that you’ve had a problem getting something from eBay. I’ve had really good luck with them.
in reply to: Whatcha Got Going 2021 #154154Heck ……….. the unit that I hunt just has an endless parade of vehicles slowly driving up & down the dirt roads, usually the wife or girlfriend driving and the ‘hunter’ riding while holding a bow with an arrow nocked. In the years that I’ve hunted there, I’ve run into exactly one other hunter in off of the road.
in reply to: Bitzenburger models? #154089A trip to eBay …..’bitzenburger’…. shows quite a few old & new models new & used at a variety of prices.
If you can find one at a decent price, I would suggest getting a whole set of clamps; left, right & straight.
