    Imo one of the most important bird dog commands

    One thing I should add about the whoa command. Any command is absolute. If your wife, kids, neighbor, another dog are in area, it wants to stop to pee, it cannot deviate. A command is a command.

    Another consideration whoa

    Many have extravagant ideas about training whoa. I’m big on a dog having manners. This teaches control, manners, and whoa. You get a dog he’s a pup, say he’s a house dog, that’s even better. In the morning you get up, bring him outside. Upon wanting to go back in he’s taught whoa. Once he...

    Imo one of the most important bird dog commands

    Ok guys I’m gonna say something no one talks about. The most important command. Here, whoa, fetch, hip, whatever you train your dog to do or how it’s done isn’t as important as having the dog take your direction. Whoa for instance is easy, do is here, fetch, whatever. They have a reward, the...

    Lab traits

    You’re asking a question that can at best be generalized. Dog breeds sorta have standards but strains among those breeds could vary. For instance to me labs are lazy, unenergetic, plodding type dogs. My buddy has some that are exciting to be around. For me now no dis on anyone’s tastes. German...

    Archery shot placement

    Don’t put it anywhere. No good shot. There’s a decent chance of wounding. As bowhunters we need to strive for high odds chances. This isn’t one

    Switching Dog Breeds

    Since the 80s I’ve had shorthairs. Horseback style so big running dogs. Not against a pointer but the rest have too much hair. Ive also got beagles. At one time 14 dogs, often 10 plus. Never different than those 2 breeds though. Not so much a love thing. Nothing chases a rabbit like a beagle...

    Bad timing

    The other thing I should add, this is why most guys have back up bows. If something like a limb broke and you had no backup you’d really be in trouble. Consider that and keep this bow come next new purchase. If the situation happened now, you’d simply switch until you got it figured out. I hope...

    Bad timing

    You mean your peep serving? Even if you don’t do it yourself you need to help yourself in a sense. Mark your cams, you’ll see if they go out of specs, use a bow square, measure and mark your brace height, mark your knock point height. Turn it the opposite way, use the short end of square to...

    Availability for strings

    Buckrut I can’t help you know but this is one good reason to do everything ourselves. You’d need a press for sure. If it’s a parallel limb bow a press appropriate for that. It might be an investment but a good one. Making strings is easy. You’d be done already and confident the job was done...

    Trouble finding replacement bowstrings and cables for my 06' PSE Fire Flite 33 LH compound bow.

    Call PSE, go to a maker, multiple options. I’d advise changing all. One thing you said strikes me, you think your fuzzy strings are effecting shots and it may but if it does it’s because I bet timing is off. Once you get new stuff installed, mark the wheels where the cables sit so you know if...

    Thought of something that might be interesting. I’m big on mentoring and helping others. I bet there’s someone reading along about to embark on a first year. Or It could even be a hunter who’s dabbled along yet still unsuccessful a year or so. Let’s help em. This is a two sided thought, it’d be...
