A rookie hunter documenting my experience while learning how to hunt and track/find animals. My experience is the last 3 weeks of deer season in 2023 in alabama. Mostly hunting public property with hopes of private in the future. Follow me, grow with me, and help me learn what to do in the woods! Should be fun.

Turkey scout trip at the beginning of March
Damn good editing buddy! Keep it up.
Not to offend but your pushing the size limit of that stand. I had to get the titan just to be within the weight spec.
Appreciate the input, I've actually lost even more weight since this video thanks for watching!
I'd load it and not stick my fingers past were the string stops. If it happens to go off your losing fingers brother
Thanks man!
Don't forget to strap your top piece to the tree once you're at the height that you wanted. I use a ratchet straps. Also always connect the two piece together, have a tether rope in between them. Be safe out there.
Thank you! That's great advice for everyone watching as well
Best tool for ruining a knife
That did not sound very sharp.
Thanks for watching!
@@TheRookiePredatorlmao
Obviously this gun is gold and white… ☠
I love the internet! Hahaha
Heck yeah brother. I just got the 50 ae cyclops. I have an old cobray side by side 410 45 pocket pistol . You can shoot both bbls with that one
Nice! It's so much fun and the perfect size to throw in my vest.
@@TheRookiePredator heck yeah man. Definitely make anything think twice!
Heck yeah that's awesome man. I live in pa i have a place up north. We have some world class elk up there but it's like hitting the lottery to get a tag or lots of money and friends in the right places lol. I almost hit one with my tractor trailer close to a 400 inch bull elk would have totaled the truck
Luck was 100% on my side! I'm pumped to get out there!!!! Thanks
Im pretty sure the reason you got stuck i because your seat isn’t in the right place 😂😂 Its supposed to be behind the top bar😂 And side note always leave your top part above waist height so you don’t get stuck and it’s easier to get out if you turn around 😂😂
Noted! I still got some practice to do for sure, thanks for watching!
Check the rear firing pin.
The lever not locking closed is a simple fix the plunger that holds it shut is not locking probably bad spring are crap has got under plunger . Drive pin out while keeping your hand over plunger . It will spring out . Replace spring check plunger for rust dirt that kind of stuff hold back in drive pin in .
Thanks! Some one mentioned below the actual part name as well. Seems like it should be a simple enough fix and back to the range!
"Finger level plunger" or spring is damaged or worn out.
Thanks! I have some one that was recommended to me. Hopefully it will be repaired soon!
Tighten your loading gate screw
I can try that, thanks!
Your bolt isnt locking in fully might not be going forward far enough. Wd40 works good for cleaning and lube. Clean it real good and try it. If u didnt already
Have tried thats why I took it some where. My buddy already recommended some one so I'll get it looked at next week. Thanks for watching!
Your red dot is too far forward. It should be mounted to the receiver not on the barrel reel.
Never put an optic on the handguard. Always on the upper. And this is one of the reasons lol. Side note.. any rifle doesnt matter how exspensive, you should go over with a fine tooth comb. Make sure all nuts and bolts are tight and everything is lined up and good to go. 🤙🏻
Thanks! Rifle has now been gone through, tightened up, and optic moved. Video update coming next time I get to the range
@@TheRookiePredator hell yeah
Arrows that come fletched that have 1 different color vane indicates the arrows spine and with a compound you want that white cane in your situation facing up. I am by far no expert but that is one of the things I was taught by someone that is an expert
Thanks, I was told as long as you shoot the same way every time it doesn't make a difference as long as your consistent with it but hey I'm no expert either hahaha. Thanks for checking out the video!
yeah two pinch bolts on the bottom isnt enough tension+++ to hold the handguard on there ide try and switch the design to an 4-8 bolt that actually drives into the handguard like most free float handguards
Thanks ill check into those!
I remember my first AR build. 8k rounds later it's still together.
Thanks for the confidence! I'm going to fix the issues and get back out to the range!
Sight on backwards, optic on rail… wtf
couple things that could be better, but looks like the comments have already covered those. I would say to look out for sales on PSA aluminum lowers, you can get them for $50 or under and they are not the best quality but at least they are metal.
I appreciate and yeah I got plenty of things to work on. I've had these lowers for probably 4 years collecting dust. UA-cam gave me an excuse to do something with them. I do 110% agree an aluminum one would be better.
@@TheRookiePredator for handguards. look for one that have a lock up system that prevents the HG from moving forward and rotating
Good on you man. Build and learn! Best way to do it!!
Added bonus it went bang! So your on the right track!
Thanks! Only way to learn is by doing in my opinion! Thanks for checking out the channel!
Respect ✊🏿! Spend a few hours on UA-cam. You’ll find all the info you need. I need to go shoot my .300 build.
Thanks! Still learning but I'll yet there
Rear iron is backwards, always keep your optic on the receiver (unless you have a monolithic upper like an LMT or something else). You ran less than a box of ammo and you're already making judgments on the longevity of the lower? Torque your handguard back to spec. This is a prime example of why cheap doesnt always make it worth it, even just to "try it out". Invest in your gear and it'll take care of you as it should.
You didn’t need to tell us it was your first build. We can tell lol
this is egregious even for a first time owner/builder. it's like people don't do even basic research before going hands on. dunning kruger a big problem in america.
Ruthless Reno 😂…lmao
Was it the 20” .300 black barrel that gave it away 😅😂
@@TooManyChoices1I think it was the scope placement 🫠
@@Derrek_V or the backwards rear sight
First thing I do before trying a new AR is to make sure that the handguard is lined up and tight before my first shot. I have seen many handguards come loose. Second thing is to never install an optic in the front rail especially in between the receiver and the barrel rail. I don't have any experience with the AR polymer lowers however, I feel much better using the aluminum lowers. I'm sure that after this experience, you will be fully prepared for your next range trip. Good luck and good shooting!
Thank you and I will be correcting these problems well before the next range trip or before building any others. Thanks!!
*Most sensible PSA owner*
I still have a plastic lower somewhere. I don't use it anymore but it held up for years. It cracked where the buffer tube retainer pin is but still worked. But yeah your gun is good. The hand guard is made to Come off easy. Just tighten the bolts
Good to know! Maybe ill do something with the others. Thanks for the view and you got a new sub!
@@TheRookiePredator you to brother
Should try to keep optic mount on upper only, hard to maintain zero with hand guard movement especially after what happened. Hope you get her fixed up.
Thanks! The optic will be moving back to the receiver. Lesson learned on my part
@@TheRookiePredator looking forward to part 2.
This is a troll post, right?? You're just trying to get a reaction out of people, correct? You intentionally put the optic on the handguard and moved the rear BUS up & turned it around backwards just to troll people, correct?
Nope, out here trying to learn. Thanks
I also thought this was bait
All good I had the handguard and trigger fall out of my 300blk build on its first range day. I was just too excited to go shoot and didnt torq everything I should have.
Glad I'm not the only one! Thanks for watching!
My 7.62x39 ar pistol had gas issues and i didn't want to deal with it so i sent it back to bear creek arsenal and im done with them. Ill shop at psa or delta team tactical for my budget uppers from here on out.
I'll keep that in mind for future builds. Thanks for watching!
That’s NOT a Bear Creek
Lol bro your optics placement is outing you as an absolute scrub. All love tho
It's all good, that's why I started the channel. I have no one to teach me so I'll let the internet tell me how to do it lol. Thanks for watching!
Your flips ups are on backwards. They’re supposed to flip up towards your barrel. Not towards you. Just a heads up. I think your red dot mount is as well. But I’d have to go look. That’s just off memory. Just trying to help brother. No hate
Thanks ill switch the flip ups. The red dot is mounted per the picture on the box hahaha so I hope that's correct
When test firing a brand new firearm, always start with a couple of mags that are only loaded with a single round. Not only is it a failsafe in case it goes full brrrt mode, but your bolt should also lock open on an empty mag and it's best to test that feature as soon as possible. Lastly, if for some reason it does fail catastrophically, at least you're not risking explosion with a full mag.
@@RichardCranium321 great advice
@@RichardCranium321good call, I will definitely do that in the future
My favorite thing about those turret covers is how Vortex will keep sending you new ones because you keep losing them.
Well well, this is my first vortex so I'm glad to know their customer service is on point!!!
This is one reason why u never put an optic on the rail. Keep the optic on the reciever.
Noted! Thanks for the advice!
@@TheRookiePredator probably just needs loctite, clean off the screws and dab blue loctite and let it sit 24 hours. Your dot placement is fine, that's the whole purpose of the rail. If it we're a scope it would be a different story. You have more field of view with the dot placed further from your eyes vs right on top of your eye ball your not seeing crap.
@@jknewb6276no, that is not the purpose of the fucking rail.
@@mw2277 oopsie, "the rail can be used for red dots or many other accessories but wasn't specifically made for red dots" There's your cookie
@@jknewb6276 no, the rail cannot be used for mounting optics unless it’s a monolithic upper.
That management area is crawling with Mr. Green Jeans
You need some orange bruh
Orange flag was on the back of the vest! Safety first!
Welcome to the life man its a blast. Just keep at it. Your stance need a little work lean a little forward but not your hips
Thank you and I will try that! I appreciate the tip
Try setting the trigger heavier so your brain knows its okay to rest your thumb on it without it going off so fast, then start squeezing. If you don't like it you can make it hot again.
ua-cam.com/users/shortsUlr7I72fY7U?feature=share Thanks, I have taken this step since this video came put. It's working!
Punch it lol
What did I just watch!? Is that Captain Jack Arrow?
Thats good!!!!!!!
Very well said
Thanks!
Randomly stumbled across this video! Keep on practicing:) would recommend checking out Joel Turner from Shot IQ. You’ve got a gnarly trigger punch😅 get that in check and you’ll be smoking stuff all day every day
Thank you for checking out the channel!
You seem a bit unbalanced which is causing extra movement
Will work on it! Thanks
Amigo ten cuidado con la barba 😅
Thats how I keep ot trimmed!
More thumb wrestling get them stong thumb muscles
It drives me crazy how people see others using handheld realse aids and have no clue how there actually used
Trying to learn, everyone has to start somewhere.
