in reply to: Bowstring Questions #62251
I blame my misses on low brace height. Never do seem to get it right!
in reply to: Wet Feathers #62246I think I heard to put baby bottle liners ❓ over your feathers for wet weather. Dunno, been so long since I had a baby around we still used real cloth diapers and the bottles were made of glass.
I ain’t a happy camper huntin in the rain either so holing up works for me. If I get caught in the wet, I just let the feathers dry out and go about my business. Ruffled feathers 😆 work fine for me.
in reply to: Dog Question #58817Hope that works for ya! Glad dog’s blood is good. Maybe some professional help will do the trick.
I spoke to my neighbor, about midnight thirty, one night about his dog that had been barking for hours and we live on the edge of town for the quiet, and that maybe something could be done? Sometimes being nice works. Dog is quiet, neighbor is still friend and I can sleep. I’m tellin’ ya tho, being nice was sooooo haaarrrddd that night. 🙁
in reply to: Takedown from a one piece bow? #56695Seems so to me too if handle was strong, aligned and bow length the same. My wife thinks super glue should keep the house together so…..:D:D whatcha think:?::idea:
in reply to: Takedown from a one piece bow? #56514Best I can do for ya is to tell you to go to Youtube.com and search for big jim’s archery. He has some videos on making a 2 piece longbow. Probably not cool for a recurve but???????????
in reply to: Takedown from a one piece bow? #56503I’m researching and I guess I just haven’t ask the question right yet. I remember seeing a piece once upon a time about sawing the riser in two then joining them back together. Just been a long time ago and don’t remember enough except to be dangerous :D:D
in reply to: Leave Strung in Woods? #53393I thought I could leave some goodies in my pop up blind once. A coon proved me wrong. I believe I’d be carrying my bow both ways there being pesky critters everywhere. You also never know when something might come up somewhere besides where you’re at and you have to leave suddenly.
in reply to: Have You Gotten Lost? #53385Actually I’m usually only a click away from being lost. 😀
in reply to: Have You Gotten Lost? #50844It occurred to me once, while hunting in the Guadalupe’s of New Mexico, when I got all twisted around that the tracks I found in the snow were my own so I backtracked to my camp. That was good cause I was fixing to go off in another direction. Not actually lost but soon gonna be methinks.
That country has a lot of places where what your looking at now looks like what you were looking at awhile ago.
I did know exactly where I was at though, in the Guadalupe Mountains of S.E. New Mexico.:D
in reply to: Things seldom seen or never seen before #47590Glad they ain’t big enuff to haul my behind off. 😀 They look pretty serious. Beautiful birds, which most are and the one’s that ain’t might just not be so in the eyes of the beholder.
If all the world’s problems were so easily solved!!!!!
in reply to: Dogs About #47570We’ve aplenty here in the Texas Panhandle. I shoot’em with whatever I have handy where I legally can. My truck always has a coyote/pig gun handy.
Longbow hunting them is tough but I give it a try. Amazing how quick those suckers can move.
in reply to: Dog Question #43087Our dog is a pit and very well trained by a professional and by us with his coaching but by the nature of the beast we have somewhat more responsibilities than many other dog owners not only personal but legal responsibility also. Some dogs are proven guilty before innocence.
Diamond barks, something is stirring that needs not be around. She doesn’t bark just because she has a “barker:D”.
By the way, she doesn’t point arrows but she’ll mosey to where they’re at and look at me. Pit pointing? 🙄 She’s a great companion and friend.
Hope I don’t get tromped on here but I think archery ranges and functions are not the place for pets. For the safety and well being of all. I’ve seen some tempers flare over the issue before, even some pretty serious threats.
Anyway, good luck with the hyper dog.
in reply to: Dog Question #43052Some people (because of genetics?) don’t seem to understand that their neighbors don’t like to hear their dog barking all the time. I wonder if they make a shock collar that shocks the owner every time the dog barks um……….:D:evil:
Our biggest concern ought to be in keeping our freedom to hunt and each of us can then be concerned with the weapon of our choice. It won’t matter what your choice of weapon might be nor mine if hunting is closed to us. It has happened in many places in the world and there’s folks in our country putting out a lot of money to stop it here.
I love to hunt and I own many types of weapons to hunt with and I will hunt with any one of them (no crossbow but that’s just cause I choose not to own one)when it’s the season for it and I figure that’s my business. I figure a person not so good with a trad bow maybe ought to be armed with an xbow and scope so as not to be running around sticking animals and losing them:?::?:?: I mean how hard can it be to squeeze the trigger. I don’t care who you are, unless your using a firearm, a “100 yd.” shot with anything with is not practical or ethical. So spoken, that’s what I think.
I have the right to hunt and it’s a prime concern for that right to possibly be taken away. Granted at my age of 67 it’s probably not going to happen in my time but my children and especially my three grandsons may have an issue. Heck, kick me if you want but I hunt as I choose and I have no problems how others do so as long as they’re legal and ethical about it.
Just my 2¢ worth, Ralph
