Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program

The ONLY good thing about this is that no good comes of it for the government. The firearms community is upset. The anti firearms community is upset. Trudeau gets no political bonus points.

We still have the legislation moving forward that deals with handguns. Nothing to pop the corks on champagne.

Re: Late Season Archery - The Ups & Downs

Nog I bought a set of tire chains at an auction sale. They sat in my garage for years. Never used them. I wound up giving them away. I reached the conclusion that if I actually needed tire chains, I and my truck would simply stay at home. If I recall your account correctly, you had a three tire chai...

Re: Rechargeable batteries for lumenoks

You have proved the economy of using rechargeables. If they prove out for holding a long term charge, that would make them a no brainer on all considerations. Knowing that they held a full charge for the entire hunting season would be one less thing to think about, especially for those who have long...

Re: Rechargeable batteries for lumenoks

Thanks for raising the topic. I wasn’t even aware that rechargeable batteries were available for Luminoks.

Re: Rechargeable batteries for lumenoks

That’s a good, practical test, Paul. I’m curious about one feature, however. What would happen if you retested six months and let’s say a year later, would both batteries HOLD a charge equally during storage?

Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program

What! No apology from the Prime Minister! He does them so well!

He could apologize for dropping that amendment onto the legislative agenda, knowing it would be controversial, and knowing the Gharbi anniversary was just around the corner.

Wrong guy made the apology.

Re: OT: Canadain Firearm Buy Back Program

Hmmmmm. That was just Charlie Angus. He is NDP, but He was elected from a Northern constituency, and may be the only voice with those views from his party. If Singh starts humming the same tune, I would take hope.

Re: Well, I finally got COVID.

Sounds like you have the lucky version-no painful seized up joints, no coughing up a lung. Otherwise you wouldn’t be silently sitting up in a tree.

I hope you are swarmed by deer, and the most stressful issue is the struggle of how to pick out the best one.

Re: Greetings from Spain

Welcome. You have a very good writing skills in English! If you don’t mind me asking, where did you go to school?

I look forward to talking about your hunting experiences.

Re: Thinking about a Charger EXT cocking crank?

The advice on line length is different from the conventional advice. Normally we are told not to put any load on the line until a couple of wraps are on the spool. The point where line attaches to the spool is usually the weak point in the system.,we were told. Maybe the line strength is such a high...

Re: Head Up or Head Down...and Jumping the String

Wheelsquad That was some interesting video that you posted. She was relaxed, head up, when you shot. If she had just been a tiny bit less successful in ducking, you wouldn't have spined her, and she would have likely led her fawns away....with a possibly survivable wound. If there is a pattern to be...

Re: Head Up or Head Down...and Jumping the String

The part of the video that Chris W posted that captured me was the slow motion movement of the deer when it ducked the shot. It was a revelation to me to see the head come up as the back dropped down. Maybe there is MORE than the force of gravity involved in ducking. The muscle groups involved may f...

Re: Head Up or Head Down...and Jumping the String

Keith I think you may be onto something, but I wish you had skipped a couple of math classes and instead taken a couple of Kinesiology classes. Then you probably could give us the answers instead of posing questions. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I wonder if the string ducking thing might even be variable, de...
