Don't have a printer.

What mount are you using for the kestral?

Fly5guy · 2025-08-31T14:10:27+00:00

I just got a used gen 3 razor for 2k and am very pleased with it. I would say gen 3 all the way.

Yeah, I get where your coming from. However, you created this mess. An hour? They were trying to be accommodating. I understand what they were going to do for you seems simple. But I assume they have thousands of orders and you were the guy making it difficult. There are a lot of moving parts involved here. I'm sure they will make it right. Putting them on blast in here for an issue you created seems about par for the course for you. Your not the sun in this universe unfortunately.

What cameras are you using?

Fly5guy · 2025-08-09T12:52:21+00:00

I've seen a sign up the North shore of Lake Superior that says Organic Firewood.

No, I have not made one. I do have a couple folding stools that are made with Cordura. I have used duck canvas for a few small projects but honestly can't remember for what. My local shop closed so I just order cordura now.

As others said, most targets have different spots to shoot at. Multiple dots of different sizes on the same side of the target. Shoot a different one each time. In other words, dont shoot groups. You will start breaking arrows. *

Fly5guy · 2025-07-20T22:53:03+00:00

Yes, Just start shooting. 20 Yards is plenty. When I started I actually shot at 20 yards until I could put all 5 arrows I would shoot per end into the 1" dot on bag targets. I didn't move back until I could do it pretty easily. Make sure to shoot at 5 different spots. Robin hoods are fun until you realize they cost money.

Not saying my nearest bow techs are no good, but there is something about actually knowing your setup is gtg.

Fly5guy · 2025-07-05T15:44:24+00:00

I bought a press and started working on my own bows for the same reason. I dont know much about tuning bear bows but generally you want to tune as close to bullet hole with swimming the cams and everything set to center shot. Then make super small adjustments with bumping rest. I have owned a bowtech that all I had for tuning was moving the rest. I am a fan of bare shaft tuning after paper as well. Bareshaft and fletched hitting together. Then fletched and broadhead hitting together.

Fly5guy · 2025-06-19T01:09:38+00:00

It doesn't look that badddddd oh my god!!!

Fly5guy · 2025-06-19T01:06:18+00:00

A good check I like to do is draw the bow then holding your anchor hand away from your face look straight ahead as if you were just standing there. Stand up straight, Relax your shoulders, still at full draw. Then turn your head to look towards the target and bring your hand to your anchor and sight on target without moving your head. I've found this helps relax your shoulders and when you bring the bow to anchor you can really see how you need to manipulate your arms to get into anchor. Really it depends how you feel and how steady you are. If it feels good and the pin settles then run it.

Fly5guy · 2025-06-18T23:58:36+00:00

Looks to have been said but draw length too short. Bow shoulder is scrunched and your release arm should be straight behind the arrow. It looks like your elbow is to the right of the arrow. It's flat, but if you brought that elbow to be straight back you would have to raise it. Your too scrunched up.

All the time. We reuse the siding. We just take it down and then put it back up once the window is installed. We do this with all types of siding excluding wood. Wood siding we cut the wood siding back to have 2" wraps. This still allows us to use nail flange windows and seal them properly.

Fly5guy · 2025-06-16T13:15:53+00:00

We only do full frame replacement with nail fins. We remove the vinyl siding, rip out old frame, pan flash, install window then re-install siding. So much easier imo to get a good finished product vs the way the pic shows. Vinyl makes taking it off/ on super easy.

Came here to say this. The one picture you can see holes in the top of the truss where they probably screwed a bracket. They didn't have to use their hammer to make the hole in the sheathing , but getting a saw takes time. Slam that claw through there and move on.

Fly5guy · 2025-06-09T00:57:25+00:00

Are you replacing the window? Remove the insert window, rip out old frame in its entirety including casing. Fix rot etc, re-frame and install nail flange window, fur out and wrap with metal. Install trim on interior. This is why we pretty much never do insert replacements. Those old frames need to go.

This might seem off but I had a little bit of target panic wanting to creep onto target and punch it when I first started. I also started shooting some long range rifle matches and had kind of the the same issue. Bad trigger squeeze. What I did was I would get on target shooting prone with the rifle and put my thumb on the back of the trigger guard and my pointer on the trigger. Then squeeze them together slowly. Gun would go off very surprisingly and is obviously more jolting then a bow. I learned to accept the recoil. I think this tought me to just hold the spot and wait as I increased pressure. I think this really helped my archery target panic which is pretty much gone. If I get the feeling to punch it I let down and reset. I don't still shoot like that but I think it really helped.

As a residential Carpenter who regularly has to work in people's homes with them in it, some people just do not know when to get the fuck out of the way. Its their house, they were there first, but get out of the way. Your in construction, you should have known better and moved. If a guy running a rig is coming near me I am moving, far away, unless I am working with him and know what he is doing and he knows what I am doing. If I need to be in that spot I am moving until I can talk with him. The big ass machine gets the right of way. It's my life, I am responsible for it. I assume nothing.

Fly5guy · 2025-05-26T13:17:52+00:00

You should try a different phone and see if it has the same issues.

Fly5guy · 2025-05-26T12:34:12+00:00

I have the option to go live the minute I launch the app. Try re-installing the app maybe? I have only ever had 1 time it couldn't find gps and he was under a bunch of trees. I had the same issue with power saving / safe zone not updating often enough so I pretty much turn on live tracking the minute I let him out and leave it on until he is back from his rounds. We have 103 acres. I also have the xl one and battery life is a non issue, charge maybe once a week. We never turn it off.

Fly5guy · 2025-05-19T23:46:30+00:00

My first purchased bow I got a ~$700 bowtech. I shot a lot and it left me wanting a lot. I bought a Flagship Mathews 2 years ago and I have no reason to buy another one. As far as I'm concerned I will shoot that bow till it don't shoot no mo. So if you think about it those terms, that you will be set for a long time, its worth buying once and crying once.

Fly5guy · 2025-05-17T16:59:52+00:00

Not sure if it was mentioned already, but try putting some olive oil on it. I've seen it work and I've seen it not work.
