i guess the answer to that question is the more the better…..Dr Ashby’s studies show that for every % increse over 19% foc there is a direct increase in penetration
Robin and Wolf thanks for the kind words!
Wolf we all had to start some where Some had mentors others relied on books and magazines.We are fourtinate to have a forume like this to compare notes and ask questions.
There is a lot of combined knowledge among the members and you will find someone with the expertise willing and able to help
Goodluck on your traditional journey.
Hay David, nice to see you checking in and posting.
Thanks for asking about my health. I am still on weight restrictions. Can’t lift over 10 pounds for another week. Pretty restricted life.:D My wife who is picking up the slack is developing a lot of muscle though.LOL:lol:
After much research and consideration I elected to take Chemo. I had my first treatment Monday. It takes about four hours than they send me home with a pump that runs two more days. They say a total of 12 treatments over 6 months. Only eleven left:D
You are right about attitude it is important. It took me a little bit to wrap my brain around it.
Since this is a hunting forum not a medical forum I will tell you I look at this like an adventure. I never been through anything like this so ever thing is new. In a perverted way a little exciting and definitely a challenge. I can’t resist a challenge.
The prognosis is excellent with the Chemo so I am pressing on.
Now to the hunting part of the forum to make this legal. When I complete the Chemo I am going to plan and go on the ” mother of all hunting trips”.LOL:D
Thanks for the inquire
You Friend
Joe

The worst part is, the skeptics wont even try and reproduce what he is telling us…
Which never ceases to amaze me, but it does seem to the norm. Oh well, opinions are apparently more important than experience…at least when it comes to internet chat boards. I can’t say I know many people who have actually experimented with these set-ups and not been seriously impressed with the results.

If people would stop and think for a second, his goal is to help every bowhunter tweak his bowhunting tackle to be more efficient and deadlier, and that’s what it’s about.
Why else would he devote so much time to experimenting and amassing the amount of data that he has? He’s always made it clear that he doesn’t benefit commercially from this. I don’t understand why anyone would think there is any other sort of “agenda” here.

We live in a world of changing values. Since people judge others by their own values the people that do not understand, believe in, or question Dr. Ashby’s motives are people who would not do anything if they were not to receive renumeration at the end. It is hard to understand as evidently the “doubters” never were motivated to investigate, experiment, or challenge a subject because of their own inquisitive nature. This is sad !!:( Luckily for most of us there are people like Dr. Ed Ashby and others motivated and willing to “ think outside of the box” and delve in to subjects just because …………….:D
in reply to: Bowhunting Area 51 #54645King, Congratulation on the hog kill. Great video, the dissection was real educational, and the trailing portion was real interesting .It gives a person a feel for the country or environment you are hunting. That was a great demonstration of arrow penetration .Nothing like pictures to emphasize the subject. THERE IS JUST ONE THING I DID NOT GET WHAT BROADHEAD YOU WERE USING.NEXT TIME MAY BE YOU COULD EMPHASIES THAT!:lol::lol:
in reply to: Help with camcorder purchase #53421Troy, I guess I will give you my two cents. My expertise in cameras is very limited. Even operating one sometime can be a challenge for me. Dr Ashby can vouch for that as I tried to take his picture at the Kalamazoo expo.:D
I do have video camera and would suggest that there are a couple of things to keep in mind when purchasing one. Like you have discussed you main objective is for your arrow work and shooting. If you plan also to use it on hunting trips consider this also.
1. My camera is compact digital type but the view finder is limited to the LED window. It is extremely hard to follow action in the window. I wish my camera also had a look through view finder.
2 Consider the media on which the filming is being stored on the camera. My particular camera stores the picture on an internal hard disk and has hours of film storage. A definite plus when out in the bush. This is assuming you start with an empty hard disk
A friend has the exact same camera but the memory is small disks. He had a great filming shot of an elk and ran out of storage in the middle of the episode He probably could have avoided this but by checking the storage but he was not even thinking about doing any filming it just happened. You know the old saying “STUFF HAPPENS”.:oops::D
A disadvantage of the external storage like my friends camera when the disks fill up they have to be replaced .You have to have spares with you and then you have to store the full disk in you pack if hunting .
3.The lens is another consideration if you are going to have dual use .It would be nice to have a zoom lens when hunting,
I am sure one will never find the perfect camera. Personally I am just trying to find one I can operate.:D
in reply to: More archers paradox #49711Jason, I figured that out.I guess I should have concentrated more on the paper tuning which was great,but I was distracted by the surroundings.Thanks
Joe
in reply to: More archers paradox #49649Troy strange looking rest for a bow in the paper testing video.It sure looks like a casket.I am glad there are mutiple uses for them:D Both are great jut one a little creepy:lol:
in reply to: Help with camcorder purchase #48534Troy, you will have to go to the competing site to get technical information like this.You know the one that is sometimes referred to the popular mechanics site LOL
in reply to: With A Heavy, Heavy Heart #48463Ed,Sorry for your loss.As we grow older we know and maybe are half prepared for things like this but it does not make it any easier .
It sounds like you have a lot of good memories that you shared together.Hunting and camp fires bring good friends closer and makes strangers friends.The memories will be around for a long time.
