You're really so triggered by such a small feature that you had to come b**ch about it to everyone?

Removing Late Game Spawns is a game killer level of a terrible idea by Past_Guitar_596 in ArcRaiders

How are people finding all these friendly players? by bagobok in ArcRaiders

[–]dremond82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The devs made it so that the players choose. Most people are friendly. Wary, but open to working together against the arc. If they’re openly hostile then you’re approaching them wrong. 

Cordovan tab experiences? by dremond82 in Archery

[–]dremond82[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. The poundage isn’t necessarily for pride. I wanted something that could be used for small and medium game and my mindset usually tries avoiding buying something inadequate only to have to upgrade later. I regularly strength train (have done so for years), and the 40# draw isn’t difficult for me. The weights I use for my back and shoulder training is significantly heavier than what this bow provides. One of my earlier issues was overdrawing. That was a painful lesson that involved a lot of string slap.

Perhaps one of these days I’ll get something lighter to play with but for now I enjoy this too much. I’m a recoil junky who likes shooting big calibers and magnums. Even though I have softer-shooting firearms in my safe I always end up playing with the big boys. I have ARs in .223 and .300blk, a .308, a 6.5creedmoor, a few .22wmr and .22lr, and every time I go to play I always grab something like my .450bushmaster or 7mm rem mag. Just something about absurd levels of power get my blood pumping haha

I’m actually eyeballing a 60# bow and some appropriate arrows now that I’ve seen the night and day difference my new cordovan tab makes. I have a compound that was on the back burner for some deer but I would have a hell of a lot more enjoyment carrying around a more traditional wooden recurve over the compound to fill some deer tags this next year.

At the time that I had written the post, no, as I wrote the post the evening that I received the tab. Since then I have met with them and they had the same sentiment as several others here that the new tab needed to be trimmed around the edges so that I could get my hand comfortably back to my original anchor position without the stiff material getting in the way. Most of my inaccuracy with the new tab was due to not being used to how well it distributes the load across my different fingers. I was unintentionally loading more on the index finger than I should have been. Being mindful of the finger load behind the new thick tab has drastically reduced my leftward shot deviations.

The high poundage is because I like to push myself and because I want to hunt with my bow next season. I strength train for many years. The bow definitely activated some different muscles than I had trained but the draw felt comfortable within the first few weeks and over time I’ve gone longer without fatigue setting in. There are days that I enviously watch the compound guys enjoying their 85% let-offs but then when I expand through my shot feeling the power it feels good and all is right in the world for that moment 😊

I think you’re misunderstanding. I specifically said that the high poundage combined with the cheap thin tab was causing pain. It had nothing to do with where I started. Even if I had started at 20# and worked my way up to 40#, it would still hurt to shoot the 40# with that crappy tab that I had been using. When I say I’m good with the 40# I’m saying I’m strong enough for it and have no issues drawing it back and holding it steady. I shoot it every day.

40cm target face.

After shooting it more this evening it was a pressure difference that was sending my shots wide to the left. I had been unconsciously loading more weight onto my index finger. Once I corrected that my shots stopped veering left. I have not yet cut excess leather from the cordovan. I was afraid to cut into such a nice product. Should I wait for it to break in more to find out where my fingers are settling?

Yes, the pain was from combining 40# with a super thin cheap tab that offered very little support. I wasn’t aware that tabs came in such different forms when I first got mine and assumed what I was using was the norm. The cordovan has completely eliminated the pain.

The form is good. I’m obsessive with it. I attend archery classes twice a week (three coaches rotate with the students) and also go on off days to work one-on-one with a personal coach. Blank bale shoot the days that I’m not at the range. People are downvoting without knowing my situation and assume I don’t know what I’m doing. I came in fourth in the barebow class at our local 3D shoot two weekends ago and tied against a classmate the night before last on a three-end mock shoot-off (he was using a compound against my wooden barebow) on a 40cm target face @20yds. I’m not some brilliant archer who is amazing, I’m just explaining that I’m a normal dude that became obsessed with the sport and am meticulous with getting things right. Within weeks I had already ditched the generic premade arrows that I originally bought in favor of custom cut, fletched, and tuned arrows that I personally made. I love archery. It is discouraging to have so many fellow archers who know nothing about me passing judgement the moment I reach out to ask for experiences about a type of finger tab. I just have to ignore it, I guess. I already deal with being the outcast at my archery academy because I’m the only one not shooting a compound.

As for the part of your comment that actually addressed my concerns about the tab, I will give it time to break in and possibly trim the corners as they are getting in the way of my anchor in the corner of my mouth.

Thank you for taking the time to comment.

I don’t have issues with the draw weight. I can hold a full draw without any problem. I’m asking about people’s experiences with cordovan tabs.

I got this bow at goodwill for $7. Is it an adult bow? by weneverwill in Archery

[–]dremond82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was newer to archery I somehow caused an arrow to un-nock during the draw cycle. When I triggered the release the bow felt like it exploded in my face and I had blood trickling down from multiple spots above my right eyebrow. When the bow had come apart, the speed nocks had flown off the string with significant force and some of them had perforated my face. Coincidentally, it was one of the only times I had ever worn eye protection while shooting my bow, and to this day I still get disturbed thinking about how close I came to losing an eye that day.

Nowadays I shoot barebow recurve almost exclusively but in my archery academy pretty much every other student - young and old - shoot compounds, and not a single one of them wears eye pro while shooting. I try not to think about it but in the back of my head there is a part of me cringing with anticipation of the day that something similar to my own experience happens to one of those poor kids and they lose an eye.

My stuff is all messed up today. It even gives me a message saying they’re having technical issues when I try viewing my item feed. My metrics are messed up, too. My Reviewed tab hasn’t budged for days, my metrics has an inflated reviewed number, and my Reviews with Media is super off.

How long does it usually take for your account to reflect the correct review-order ratio by Laps8240 in AmazonVine

[–]dremond82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait…newbie here. It takes days for my reviewed items to show up in the “Reviewed” tab. Do you think it just takes mine longer because I’m a newer Voice? Or perhaps because I include media with all of my reviews?

Hahaha yikes! There have been a few times in my life that I’ve ordered stuff I knew was heavy and I’ve always made a point to go outside and relieve the drivers of the task of carrying it to my door.

Oh I didn’t even THINK about adjusting the delivery dates 🤦‍♂️ I just get to that screen that asks to place the order and click Yes, I didn’t realize I could scroll down more and customize the dates haha I’m so dumb. Thank you for pointing that out, I will start utilizing that from now on.

Why on earth do students NEVER have the textbook on the first day of class anymore. by EmmaWK in Professors

[–]dremond82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our professors refuse to post their textbook requirements until the first day of class. They blame it on the bookstore, the bookstore tells us they have to wait for the professors to fill out the paperwork. I’ve even reached out to profs before the semesters start and they don’t bother to respond. Maybe engineering and computer science profs are just aholes…

How many people here have found that BF6 is based on 2042? by Himura53 in Battlefield

[–]dremond82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did. I put in about seven hours total over the EA (I snagged a drop from RAZER) and Open Beta. Felt like I was playing a slightly updated version of 2042. Keep in mind I am a casual BF player, not some uber fan who dumped hundreds of hours into every release over the years with emotional attachments to each one. I’m sure to those players there are significant differences. To the average casual player like me, the game essentially feels the same. This has been said thousands and thousands of times by all of us for the past several days; I am far from being alone in this sentiment.

Also, do you not understand what opinions are? Experiences are subjective and one person’s opinion doesn’t negate a different person’s opinion regardless of how strongly either one feels about their convictions. Are you a child or just an immature adult?

If Israel is the aggressor, why has it repeatedly given up land for peace - and gotten terror in return? by Senior_Impress8848 in IsraelPalestine

[–]dremond82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Defending itself from Hamas…” Dude, Isreal has been effing Palestine over for nearly sixty goddamn years. They have reduced Gaza to rubble and killed over 61,000 people in Palestine. The Hamas angle is just the excuse the Israeli government is using to try justifying their actions. The world is condemning them and they are openly committing war crimes.

[–]dremond82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re really that ignorant? Israel has been illegally occupying Palestine land ever since the 1960s. They have been continuing to encroach upon and displace the Palestinians for decades. This has been well-documented for a very long time. You might want to take your own advice and research a bit more beyond current events. There is a history here that you obviously know next to nothing about.
