When I started the video I thought you never shot a bow. And making these shots with a 50 pound bow blew my mind 😁 I did actually start this month. So never shot anything and bought a 40 pound Samick Sage. After setting it up, I immediately noticed I could not stretch it to full pull. I ordered the 25 pound limbs and I am still waiting on these to arrive. Btw, you have an awesome practice area
I've shot compound bows since I was 15 (now 39); recurve going on my 4th year now. If I go a couple months without practicing with it, I will STILL have issues with holding my form and shooting. It's a completely different monster. I had to order 40 lb. limbs shortly after getting this bow and then work my way back up to 50.
Your humidity is a little high for my liking but then again, I prefer the “dry method” and usually have my humidity sitting around 30% for the first 18 days then crank up to at least 60-65% the last three days. One thing I would recommend with eBay eggs is to candle them upon arrival to determine if the air cells are intact or not. Usually non-intact air cell eggs requires different incubation techniques to hopefully reattach the air cell in the “right” place.
Yeah, I've been reading about the dry method. I just went with google my first go-round and it worked, it's definitely something I'll look into for next time.
Just an update... this summer will be 4 years since I made this and it's still holding up strong. Inflation has brought the cost up quite a bit, but I still wouldn't change anything on it. I believe it's worth the investment. I would, however, recommend bringing it into a garage or something if you have bitter cold or ice storms where you live.
I got 35# Samick sage straight up being new to bare bow traditional recurve or archery for that matter, I too will be getting a new string and soon 40# limbs, highly addictive hobby 😂. Also will be getting Velcro for the shelf and a leather rest similar to yours. Ditto on the advice , most are great though in my experiences, apparently one dude got deleted for his comments towards me lol I never even saw them . Don't be that dude 😂. I like my sage. I'm at 15-20 MTRS at the moment after three months of shooting recurve, only four days on the sage , I'm going to tighten up on 15 and then 20 and so on.
I do the same with the screws and tie the cord so the light will hang without touching anything if it does fall. You can get heat emitters for reptiles also that don't put out any light.
After surviving a house fire years ago, I’m terrified of this man’s system. My brain tells me a feather could float and touch that bulb and ignite and fall to the floor and the rest is history 😢
I took the arrow rest off like you said and we'll see what happens. You can build a backstop out of a 4ft by 6ft horse mat from tractor supply and some pressure treated 2x4's. It costs less than $100 for everything including the deckmate screws. That'll solve your target panic.
Great video and recipe! We will try this tonight. I'm open to more venison recipes, especially if you have any with no bacon. We love bacon (of course) but I'm trying to lower cholesterol and triglycerides. Thank you!
Ive stopped using heat lamps the chickens do better without it as their bodies can acclimate with the cold. If you ever lose power they could go into shock, get sick and potentially die. They didn't have heat lamps hundreds of years ago no need for them now. Your coop looks well made with good ventilation up top. Make sure your roosts aren't too high so as they are in the draft up top. Best thing to do to help keep them warm is make sure the coop is dry,well ventilated and has no draft in their roost area. Putting hay bales around their run or something to help block horizontal drafts can also help. Also make sure to give them lots of high calorie snacks on the super cold days such as dried bugs. My girls have personally seen -32°F before wind chill with no heat lamp and were perfectly fine
I've been researching this for a few hours and you are the only one that has given me hope. Been pretty nervous about this coming winter as I've built up my own flock for the first time.
Awesome job!!! Congrats for sure! Get a pot of boiling water or a tea pot and run the feathers over the steam. They will come back to life in about 20 seconds.
Hey where’s is this is this on salmon river higher up close to the hatchery or some where Al’s I do like a lot , not many people and low water &come I will be there again on October 17-20 it will still be good fish up there
Most of this was filmed in the DSR, the first 2 miles of river from the estuary. However, we had friends fishing public much closer to the end of the run and they were doing better than us. A load of fish were pushed up river in that big rain the day before.
