    Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.

    Clay, love your videos and learned much on archery from and you got me back into learning. An axe is not a club. It is a precision cutting tool.
    one cuts up the tree from the bottom of the tree. Saves the blade and reduces effort. Also have a small axe and medium axe when carrying a saw.. Just 45 years experience and still learning. :)

    Mr Clay I know you go out and test these things for yourself but I'm sure you realize all the things you're teaching us and inspiring us to do. For me personally it lights a fire under my ass to go try lots of things. I'm here in west Central Florida so no snow or anything but still lots of these ideas and things can absolutely be used here too. Merry Christmas sir to you and the family 🤘🙏🎄🎄🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

    Excellent, all of it! Some things notable to me were the disposable lighter and air mattress. Because though you could make a mountain of pine boughs and use flint/steel doesn’t mean you have to all the time. Those kind of “hacks” are metaphorical in many aspects.

    Great video Clay, VERY well put together..
    I mean whole nother level better than anyone else I have watched.. (and I follow a lot.)
    The cinematography and music were amazing.
    Well done!
    As far as the "Siberian fire" went, I was impressed with the simplicity, duration and effectiveness.
    I wonder, have you tried the automatic long lasting fire technique where they build two ramps angled downward to the fire and stack logs where they will automatically roll down, feeding the fire as the previous one burns away?
    I think I have seen someone try it with good results.
    Anyways thanks for sharing.

    Hi Clay: Found your video on a cold rainy sunday afternoon, appreciate your take on winter all night fires. Nothing quite like enjoying a good hot fire at night after a long day of climbing around chasing the mountain bramby Whitetail bucks. By the way you made such fast, slick work of those logs w/that folding saw which obviously is an upgrade from a bow saw--would love to know the make and model if you get a chance to share. Thanks, Randyc

    I wonder if you put twice as many logs on if it would burn as long. Hotter for sure but perhaps it would use up the wood quicker? with the extra heat. Minimal firewood processing as well. Most of my fires are long fires where the whole tree is slowly pushed into the coal bed but it requires constant adjustment which isn't a bad thing. small trees too.

  • @notfoolediknowthetruth3101
    @notfoolediknowthetruth3101 Місяць тому

    Something to consider: Practice "follow through" after the shot.
    What I mean, is likened to bowling when you follow through with the arm after the release.
    With shooting, the "follow through" is visual discipline to maintain sights, or crosshair, on target AFTER the shot and recoil.
    If the rifle muzzle bucks right, left or up, the alignment of sights at trigger release was not perfect.
    My council is to be conscious to see the shot as two parts;
    the shot itself
    1. sight alignment at trigger pull
    2. and where your muzzle goes after the recoil.
    The trick is to maintain or keep your sight on the target after recoil.
    If so,
    this means the muzzle is driven straight back.
    Which means your shot is perfect.
    Of course you can not hold absolute perfect, having recoil, but keep as on target as close as possible.
    I practiced this after analyzing video (view over rear shoulder)
    I could see the barrel twist.
    I could study the difference between good vs perfect shots, and which direction the muzzle kicks.
    On perfect shots, I could see in slow motion, and determined myself to focus on the disciple to keep that form after the shot.
    .....
    Some say practice freehand with an empty casing.
    Have someone load you gun and you shoot.
    [He] loads one round.....but you do not know whether it is live or a blank.
    Video the shot. If you see movement on a blank shot....you have work to do to avoid flinching, by anticipating the recoil.
    This practice, of visual follow, through has yielded bountifully.
    It has saved a lot of needless grief, tracking and packing.
    I force myself to focus on the second part of the. shot.
    It's in the millisecond......that's what the season can come down to.
    Do not lapse at that moment.
    ..........
