Bow And Arrow

Bow And Arrow Hunting Is AwsomeBow and arrow hunting has come along way through the years. I’d rather be bow and arrow hunting for white tailed deer than to take my rifle. I found that choosing the correct bow and arrow can be a bit of a challenge and have laid out some information that can help you out.

Bow And Arrow Hunting Basics

A large part of selecting the right bow and arrow will depend on the type of game your after. What I choose for white tail deer will not be the same as hunting turkeys of course. Factors to consider are the length of the bow, the draw and color, all of which are very important.

As for the arrows, depending on the type of game your hunting will determine which variety of arrow head to be used which is more important than the type of arrow selection. Arrows used to hunt smaller game have a far more chance of missing the target so they are more likely to get lost or broken which will need to be taken into consideration. For example you will not want to use expensive arrows but they will need to be durable.

Selecting The Right Bow and Arrow

Timber and fiberglass bow and arrow may not be the right choices for the professional hunter or big game hunter so you see not one size can fit all. A rugged compound bow like the Diamond Razor Edge by Bass Pro Shop is an excellent bow for hunting deer. The reason I chose it was because it’s light, noise dampening and has high performance single cam technology. This bow requires better arrows like aluminum or carbon and my choice for arrow shaft is the RedHead Carbon Supreme Lite Custom Arrows – 2” Blazer Vanes by Bass Pro which has a a multilayer carbon composite fiber that delivers flatter trajectory, greater strength, and a truer spine.

You will always want to select a bow that is right for you with regards to size and there many to choose from. When bow hunting the draw length of different bows can vary from 28 to 36 inches and arrow can be in lengths from 31 to 40 inches so you will want to make sure you select the right size bow and arrow at the same time.

One of the straightest arrows manufactured will be made of aluminum and if I’m going aluminum I chose the Easton Premium Finish XX75 Camo Hunter Aluminum Arrows by Bass Pro.  This arrow has bee the most popular amongst bow hunters for over 50 years now and for good reason. Easton guarantees uniform shaft weight to ±1%; exact diameter tolerances ±.0003″; exact spine tolerances ±.0005″; and exact shaft straightness.

Fact is the only problem with using aluminum arrows is that after you get a good kill shot and you are removing the arrow it can be un-noticeably bent. The naked eye can see some bent arrows but others may be bent just enough to throw it off big time the next time you use it.

I hope this gives you a better idea of bow and arrow hunting and what the best products are to use.

Bushnell Rifle Scopes - Elite 3200 Rainguard

Bushnell Rifle ScopesBushnell rifle scopes are always most hunters first choice for many reasons which we will discuss. My father always told me that Bushnell rifle scopes are the only scopes to use because of the reliability and dependability.  What I found to be really amazing is how far they have come in technology, for example their patented Elite 3200 Rainguard firefly Reticle which far exceeds anything else you take in the field.

Why Bushnell Rifle Scopes

Bushnell is an American company specializing in optics and imaging since 1948 and knows what us hunters need. All Bushnell Rifle scopes are built with weather in mind and are designed for durability. We have all scrapped, bumped or slammed our rifles in the field as we position ourselves for the kills shot and with Bushnell rifle scopes we have allot less to worry about.

Which Bushnell Rifle Scopes Are Best?

When I was ready for my new scope I was amazed at the selection of Bushnell rifle scopes available to choose from, which made it hard to decide. I knew one thing for sure, the prices were affordable ranging from $40 to $800 depending on your needs. In my case I deer hunt and prefer a deer stand so I need a scope with great range because although some deer come close most are at a distance and need to see through allot of branches sometime to find my kill shot.

Bushnell Rifle ScopesBushnell rifle scopes offer many choices and I chose the Bushnell Elite 3200 Rainguard HD Rifle Scope – 1.5-4.5x32mm – Firefly Reticle. It only cost me $260 and it works like a charm.

How To Walk And Carry Your Gun

Friday, August 27th, 2010

How to carry your gun is a critical aspect of hunting. Regrettably, there are accidence every year during the hunting season because basic safety is not followed and how to properly carry your gun fits right in there. Every hunter should know some fundamental hunting safety items before heading out into the fields.

How To Walk And Carry Your Gun

how to carry your gun 300x180 How To Walk And Carry Your GunThe most important aspect of hunting concerns how to walk and carry a gun. It is important to make certain that the muzzle always points faraway from the hunter and any fellow travelers. There are a lot of ways to do this. One alternative is the side carry, which is effectively carrying the gun with one hand and tucking the stock between the elbow and the body. It is not recommended to use the side carry when the hunter is strolling through dense brush or with other companions strolling in front, although.

Another option is the ready carry. With the ready carry, the gun is held with two hands and the muzzle is pointed upwards and towards the front of the hunter. The trigger finger should be rested on the correct guard.

Three Basic Methods To Carry Your Gun

The sling carry involves both hands of the hunter being free. A sling is utilized to carry the gun over the hunter’s shoulder, giving clear range for the hunter to move still he or she wants.

Others choose to shoulder carry way of carrying a gun. Using this method necessitates the muzzle of the gun resting skyward. It is probably not a good idea to use this technique of carrying a gun with fellow travelers behind.

Finally, the trail carry necessitates the gun held at a point between the action and the trigger. If someone is walking ahead of the hunter, it’s not a great idea to use the trail carry because the muzzle is pointing down but forward.

As soon as the hunter has established a safe and comfortable way to carry their weapon, it is very important to plan next what to do when meeting the game. Before encountering the point, all hunters should generate a “zone of fire” where each will shoot and track when game appears. It is extremely important that one hunter never encroach on another persons zone.

How To Carry Your Gun From Other Positions

When hunting from a boat, there are your safety precautions that should be thought about. First, make certain the weapon to be employed by the hunter who will be sitting in the bow of the boat is unloaded. His or her gun has to be placed facing the bow. The next hunter places their unloaded gun in the stern with its muzzle signaling the rear. Hunters should never forget to anchor the boat before shooting and to fire in opposite directions.

To keep their skills sharp, hunters often practice on ranges. These controlled shooting areas also have a set of commands geared for the safe enjoyment of all the people who are taking part. If a hunter says, “the range is hot”, as an example, it indicates that the range is open for shooting and that there are no live objects, like people, on the range. If a hunter says, “cease fire”, it indicates to stop all firing immediately. Another command on the firing range is “ready”. This is the last precaution taken by shooters prior to the “range is hot” command. Each shooter repeats the phrase “ready” from right to left to make sure the firing line is clear and safe.

The Leatherman Story

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Tim Leatherman 300x212 The Leatherman StoryTim Leatherman went and got his qualifications form Oregon State University and received top marks in mechanical engineering. Which no doubt assisted him with creating his multi tool and knife making firm.

He then started to design a pocket knife for the Boy Scout of America. It was a knife together with pliers. He continued his work on this and registered his initial patent three decades ago.

The Leatherman has seen a series of changes when it comes to locking and shutting there products each with their plusses and minuses. In 1999 they started to adopt a liner lock. This led to the tools being far easier to handle and overcame a great deal of issues.

As stated earlier, Leatherman stared making pocket knives in 2005. The edges were straight but partially serrated. In 2006 Leatherman developed a gadget to use in the garden, it was a pruner and the company even built in tools to help with gutting kills for those that hunt.

Passing out from Oregon State, Tim Leatherman received a pass in mechanical engineering. This, no doubt, aided him with developing his range of products. Later, he started developing a knife for the Boy Scout of The States. It was a knife and pliers. He kept working on this and pushed through his first patent three decades ago. He then began to see sales of his products go up when he got his knife into mail order firms including Early Winters and Cabela’s. Cabela’s is a brand that almost all of us is likely to know and is a big boost in the sale of these items.

Further down the line Leatherman switched to a larger and better facility. There was no looking back. As Leatherman established itself as a leader, not just in multi tools but in the category of pocket knives.

Three years ago Tim Leatherman was inducted to the Blade Magazine Cutlery Hall of Fame at the Blade show in Atlanta, Georgia. Tim’s pocket knives and multi tools have had a huge impact in the knives industry and his multi tools are some of the most popular tools available. Even though Gerber legendary knives, and Swiss army knives make similar products, the Leatherman Tool rises above them – most notably these popular tools:

What is Dog Pepper Spray?

Friday, April 9th, 2010

25953 What is Dog Pepper Spray? What is Dog Pepper Spray? If not correctly taken care of, dog bites can be one of the most hazardous animal bites. Every year, many individuals die because of rabies from canine bites. Many individuals have the propensity to neglect the seriousness of such animal bites because they think that they are not so dangerous and could be treated with simple hand washing the lesion or by just taking antibiotics. What they are oblivious of is that it could lead to dangerous infections, disability, deformity or even death.

You can evade dog attacks through several means. One way is to keep a safe distance between yourself and the dog. Another effective way is to avoid provoking the dog to attack you. If you find yourself in such a situation, slowly retreat and walk away. However, no matter how careful you are, there may come a time when you will encounter such a situation. This is where dog pepper spray comes in handy.

A dog pepper spray is an animal repellent designed to stop an attacking dog. It is packaged in a canister which you can carry in your pursebriefcase. For more convenience and ease of use, you can even fasten it to your belt or key chain. Such pepper sprays have numerous advantages. Once it is sprayed on the animal, the effects of dog pepper spray is immediate. Its effects last long enough for you to put some distance between you and the animal. Because the pepper spray will cause so much discomfort and hurting, the dog will shift his concentration from you to dealing with the pain. If you are an animal lover, there is no need to worry as these chemicals do not cause lasting or critical injury to the animal. Because the effects are non-lethal, it will diminish in about 20 to 30 minutes. One more reason why such a canine repellent is popular is because it is lawfully permissible to use anywhere in the United States, on condition that you are using it for self defense purposes. Always check with your local law enforcement regarding pepper spray because there may be restrictions in some areas.

What is the difference between human pepper spray and dog pepper spray? One difference is that the pepper resin in dog spray is not as potent as the resin found in the human version. The amount of pepper resin present contained in this dog repellent is typically less than half of the pepper resin in human spray. In case of a crisis, you could use human grade pepper spray to stop a dog attack but not a dog grade pepper spray on attacking villains because it will be ineffective.

You possibly will need protection from some dogs if they attempt to bite you, even if you are a dog aficionado. Because all animals are dangerous by nature, do not underestimate a dog’s ability to harm you. Carrying a dog pepper spray is one effectual and animal-friendly approach to protect yourself and your family from possible dog attacks.

Hunting with fire pits.

Friday, March 19th, 2010

A sport with a lot of popularity is hunting. For some people, it’s about the hunt. It’s the time spent outdoors for others. For many, it’s a family adventure. It can be a tradition passed down from father to son, grandfather to grandchild, or even mother to daughter! When you use a fire pit on your next hunting trip, you will add even more wonderful memories to your time spent with your family and friends.

Quite a few hunting seasons take place when the weather is cold. Hunters pass hours perched in trees just waiting until they see the motion of a deer. Wet mornings in duck blinds waiting for their prey and they spend cold. You can warm up while still enjoying the outdoors when  you burn a fire outdoors. Wrap yourself in a blanket, settle into your fav camp chair and take pleasure in unwinding in front of your own personal campfire TV.

Some hunting cabins may provide a fire pit or you  may need to bring one along. Especially if you are hunting when there is snow on the ground. However, you can choose a pit that comes with a flat grill for the top. This would let you grill your supper outdoors even whilst you’re having fun with the fire pit. You can let them wind down from the day by roasting marshmallows and making s’mores over the campfire when your kids are hunting with you.

Just keeping the wood and fire fuel neatly contained, you can also buy large fire pits that are designed to sit directly on the ground. The deer hunting fire ring is a good representation of this. Three or more pieces of steel are bolted together to create this transportable ring. Immortalize yourself into time as one would find the tale woven in hieroglyphs.

No matter if you’re merely getting warm, fixing supper, or getting some relaxation near the fire, you’ll remember your next hunting excursion better if you utilize a firepit. Be sure to take plenty of logs, or gather extra dead wood from the forest during the day. Once you have felt the relaxation of sitting in front of the fire after a day of hunting, you will want the experience every night for the rest of your trip.
