The eye needs to be over the arrow and it’s especially critical once and if sights or sighting is used. I’ll try to explain and I hope you follow me. Take an arrow yourself. Draw it. No bow. Your dominant eye is looking down it. Say it’s your right. Now close it. Reaim with your left. Open your...
For bows alot with a recurve depends on how long the draw is, that’s why they’re great, the go up weight as the child grows but something around 15lb at 28” would set em up pretty good for a while I’d think. Make sure it’s relatively light physical weight too.
Now idk of there are any exactly...
A very light recurve is the answer. If she can draw back very little the weight is negligible. My daughters started under 2. They’d stand up close and I’d load the target with over inflated balloons so they’d break.
Make a big deal over her shooting, she wanted to keep doing it. Once tired we...
I personally load to get the most from a gun. I mess with all kinds loads, recipes, seating depths, primers, etc until I get the best from the gun. Now once that happens it’s all easily repeatable. Throughout the Obama shortage, this one, etc I don’t have issues. Everything I need and than some...
I’ve been told if you place tungsten shot on an anvil an hit it with a hammer you dent the anvil. I’ve never done that but man it’s hard. When you load shot with it you need to use Mylar wraps so it protects the barrel from contact and doesn’t scratch it. The stuff is that hard. It’ll not...
To me there are a couple things I like “best” but they’re sorta the same involving anticipation.
I love the getting ready part. Sharpening broadheads, knives, making arrows, packing a day bag or turkey vest. Loading ammunition or shooting.
I also love the walk in. Looking up at the stars. I...
If you think any management could ever happen on even a thousand acres you’re mistaken. You need enough area the deer stay on your place mostly. During the rut bucks wander anyhow but 40 acres won’t even allow but a small piece in time for them. What you’re trying is futile. Doesn’t matter what...
Guess it depends why you reload. If it’s to get everything possible out of a gun/load combo that takes lots of experimenting. I have an awful lots of guns and the powder varies from gun to gun, load to load. No such thing to me as any pet type powder.
Guys ecollars are easy correction. They can be abused but so can a stick or someone’s hand. I don’t condone hitting a dog but a nick is no different than burning yourself on a hot pot, you’ll be careful next time, you had a negative experience
There are lots of techniques but a shock collar will give the fastest most positive results most times. If someone is worried about sensitivity you need to collar train a dog before you use it. That basically determines its tolerance and the setting at which it will respond. If it is “sensitive”...
I’ve built arrows a long time. All tapered cedar nowadays but I’ve made plenty of carbon, aluminum in the past.
One thing I enjoy is splicing feathers on em. It can be practicable also. If I use say blue and chartreuse on one, the next gets chartreuse and blue. If I use two somewhere I know...
