Yeah in my full length video I start off by saying what I’m doing is a terrible idea and that going to a machine shop is always the first and best option. I will say though, in doing this I got the surface showing grain and mill marks so I honestly think if it didn’t have defects I needed cut out that I could have ran it just like that and been fine.
For sure, I checked it all when I pulled the heads. I was worried I might have had a cracked cylinder so I looked over it thoroughly and thankfully aside from the threads on the oil pan starting to go everything is in good condition. It’s got 166k miles on it. Next spring I’m building a motor for it so it only has to last a little while the way I’m building it now.
Nice shot.The fact you're in the middle of a suburb and had the foresight to use your whole garage a range and an ammo catch is remarkable.I would never have expected such a move from a man in a bear fuzzy.Well played sir.Well played."Urban ghillie".I see what you did there.
I really have to turn my notifications on cause I would have responded sooner. Your comment had me cracking up. It took me a few months of practice in an open field to get comfortable enough to shoot into my garage. I build a special target stand with a back stop to catch any errant shots. So far I’ve only hit the freezer behind it twice and that’s a win in my book 😂😂😂😂😂
Your reaction made it all the more entertaining. Lol on a seperate note. I learned something new. I didnt even know there was a difference between cross bow and compound bow arrows. I practice with a long bow years ago but they never taught us that in archery class.
I’m not surprised they didn’t teach it to you. There is an unspoken divide in the archery world between traditional archery using long bows and recurve and non traditional using compound and crossbow. I personally don’t understand the beef but us non traditional archery folks get a lot of hate from the other side. It manifests from being totally ignored to full on bullying.
Im glad you found the channel though, thank you very much for your support. Feel free to watch at your leisure and share the videos to your friends if you think they would enjoy them. 😊
I had no idea there was a divide like that. Goodness. I just think it's an amazing skill to have no matter what bow one uses. I'm not nearly as good as you and am quite rusty with my aim. I've looked at different bows to get back into it and start practicing again. I don't have the strength for a crossbow except the little pistol one I still have. Lol
I’m still working on the placement. My first try the camera was strapped to my wrist. This one it’s strapped to my head. I was thinking about trying my shoulder next but I’m still working on how to safely mount my go pro. But yeah I am working out how to get it looking down the sights without obstructing my own view. For now this is the closest I can come up with. Let me know if you have any ideas and I’ll try it.
@ThatArcheryGuy Trial & error. Sounds like you're narrowing it down. It definitely isn't an easy view to accomplish. Until they have a camera that fits over your eye, let's you still see...it may not be possible. A camera inside a contact lens would be cool af. Unfortunately AI may beat you to your goal. Keep playing around with it.
Yes it is. I have a video with it mounted on my wrist too but it’s not as good because it goes behind my head at full draw and the view is completely obscured. I like the head mounted view a lot better.
There are multiple ranges in my area that are in residential zoned areas. I’m fortunate enough to have neighbors who don’t bother me about it. They all know I watch over the neighborhood.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I honestly didn’t know. I looked up the rules for my area and it’s prohibited inside city limits. Thankfully I live several miles past the city limits barrier so I’m in the clear. I also try to be as safe as I can and respectful to my neighbors so no one has a Karen moment and call the law on me.
@@Hulkhogan94 there is a backstop set up just behind the bag target. 1 inch think solid doors 7 feet wide 7 feet tall and a fiberglass fire blanket behind them. I try to be as safe as possible.
It’s called the Robinhood shot I’m a bow hunter. I made plenty of them when practicing. It’s where you hit the knock into the other arrow underneath the fletching it’s called the Robin Hood.
