in reply to: The most useful knot tutorial ever. #23606

I understand –I have known my Knots from early life- and used them in my work—my father was an Eagle scout-

and it is a good skill for everyone to know, they come in handy when you would least expect it—you should teach your children-

it is a great App –I have put it in My Faves – even though I also have books on the subject–

in reply to: I just bought my first longbow. #23599

I absolutely agree with Dave’s statement-

there are VERY FEW circumstances – you get to go where you want – without reflection, and it is good to learn that early. although it is funny{your video}–and I enjoyed it immensely – took me back a few years.

PS – balance & discipline in all things–from beginning to end—————for all members of the{family}Unit-

“All units are responsible for their own Security”!*

My Father Taught me this a long time ago – it is still a great survival skill–

Alex-

condolences on the hard year.

wonderful story of a great Hunt!

I like going after the odd ones also, in my limited experience they seem harder to hunt. Almost as if they realize their unique appeal.

Wexbow –

Good guess – but not actually-

I was in London a couple of times in the 70s-80s

enjoyed it immensely – easiest European country for Americans to visit.

Having not been to Ireland and I should have been, and eventually hope to go – my mother is a fullblood O’Rourke–I remember my time in Scotland, As soon as I got past being a “colonial” they loved me because I was not from the southern place–haha.

[My spelling of my name is from the lowlands of Scotland]

when I get to Ireland I will look you up and enjoy a stout/whiskey with you

I’ll buy-

Smithhammer –

Yes, from some mistakes in past experience*. To Echo Dave Ps excellent article. It seemed in range[then] but my practice was not as disciplined and varied as now. Plus I don’t try to stretch it anymore. I would not shoot at turkeys beyond 15 -due to the small tgt area. After all closing the distance is the reason to hunt with a tradbow-at least for me

*”before I knew Better”

Scout.

*What Western?

Troy is spot on —

I practice to 35, would not shoot game past 20 — for the same reasons {especially -the all it takes is one quick step}.

Ausjim-

I think you will have trouble finding someone who has hunted Camels {but you never know}Most parts of the world it would probably get you in trouble like “horse stealing/killing”. If you get a chance to hunt them, make a great batch of Articles for Tradbow. They’re pretty big, better get those efoc arrows worked up – haha.

I have eaten camel –it is OK –but like we say here in the SW you can eat just about anything with good Chile Sauce on it.

PS — Maybe Dr Ashby will chime in– he is one of the few who might have had a run at Feral Camels in his work “Down Under”
