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.

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...

Chris W If I had read the video link you offered before I posted, I could have spared us some bandwidth I wasted. May I make a suggestion, though. Next time you have a jewel to offer like you did this time, title your thread "Pay Attention, This Is Good!" I am reposting your link so that h...

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...

Now, if Ontario would only join in. It might not be the death of the confiscation, but it would at least help to undermine the program.
