Who said an old dog can't learn new tricks.
Thanks a bunch for sharing.
What I am going to say has noting to do with the quality of the video, or it's instructional value.
It was a great video and I was just wondering if anyone else noticed this.
I saw what I thought was a second shooter, or at least the arrow at 4:15 on the video.......
I went back over it a couple more times, turned the sound up, and sure enough I could see a glimpse of the arrow in the lower right of the video, I could hear a string slap and what I thought was the impact of an arrow on the target....but I could not recognize anything that indicated the video had been edited to cut that part out.
This observation has no real value and the question is more one of curiosity than anything.
Uncle Russ...

I`ve never heard of that, I`ll have to give it a try, thanks
So much for that thought, tried to pull the bow this morn but couldn`t pull it. :(

I started working on my (right) shoulder this year after being invited to hunt a private area. By the time I could actually pull the bow, there was not enough daylight to practice after work. I hope to get there for next year...
Mine is a spur and some muscles that weren't working right, so my shoulder joint was pivoting up (into the spur) instead of rotating in the socket... sure hope all this money I spent on it pays off!

Lynn, I been workin on the shoulder! Got a list of exercises from the folks at Mayo that takes me a good half hour to get through. Then I started doing them on both sides, so I don't wind up too lop-sided!
but back to string walking....
Post by: Fletcher on November 29, 2013, 01:28:02 PM
elbow to fingers and the left has spasms and tingling. Also fell and bruised some ribs
and sprained right wrist. Needless to say my shooting (guns & bows) is radically worse.
May see the neuro Dr very soon.
I can pull the bow fine, but string release and trigger squeeze really suck!

Thought bow would be a good way to get food without being noticed but now it looks like the gun is the only way.

I`ve been thinking we should build some kind of very large spear chucking device.

Did not see what you were shootin' at - would have made the video more 'catchy'
Post by: Pitchy on November 30, 2013, 12:53:58 PM
In fact we are looking for that place to move too.
I was shooting at the 50 yard back stop, nothing in particular, it`s hard to get a close up of the gun and the target at the same time, best ya can get is if ya are shooting at a gong you can see them swing and hear the hit.
I have other vids like that with different guns but they don`t belong here.

One low shot otherwise fair group at 18 yards.

Like I told ya before Pitchy, that's pretty doggone good shootin to me.
