What did you do today that’s related to saddle hunting?

Pew pew.....hehehe
Wind looking good for couple days later in the week and maybe the weekend so hopefully be out there again soon

I'm sending the strober disco light next....I try to get it on camera again
 
We temporarily lost his bug jacket and I found it for him in a mud puddle in the road....I found a "clean" mud puddle that we hadn't driven thru looking for the jacket and churned up and washed and rung out as best I could....once it was dry and filthy it did well to blur the hard edges of his outline....maybe real cheap diy bug/camo. Little spray paint and u be in business

It was real thin so u wanna not wear it walking around but a nice option for hanging in a tree. It balls up into real small footprint....probably hardly notice in a cargo pocket
 
And I guess I should also add that we take all the extra precaution stuff because there are some nasties worse than skeeters that ThermaCELL and permethrin are t affected by. Straight skeeters a ThermaCELL is about all u need unless u are in someplace that has an extreme skeeter population
 
Got a special delivery in today from CGM…. I’ve waiting on this saddle ever since the mobile expo. I was super impressed with the Cobra saddle. Definitely the best saddle I’ve sat in yet.

Sew some pieces of fake moss on there and you’ve got a dual purpose ghillie.
On another note, I’m so glad skeeters and all the various biting flies are non existent during deer season in the northeast.
 
Not today but earlier in the week, went on a scouting trip to check and hang cameras with a buddy. I did a practice climb and tried out his big bob one stick. I’m enjoying one sticking I just need to tweak a couple little things to get smoother.
 
Took my Fathers Day gift for a workout. Love the dyna loc attachment system and angled steps work good for me with 3 step and single step aiders. Got up to 19 ft with that combo.

Slept in my EWO tent setup last night/tonight...we got a good cold snap....use some SH technology to make my underquilt...take regular rectangle sleeping bag and make a paracord bridge...like making a fleece saddle on both ends of the bag...hook ur sleeping bag saddle to the biners attaching the hammock to the tree straps....no way I'm paying 100-200 bucks for a "specialized" hammock cocoon.....View attachment 60972

I use shock cord instead of para so you can keep it somewhat taunt and still have it flex when you get in it. I use a woobie for underquilt and it works great. it has loops sewn in and you won't rip them out with shock cord. woobies are cheap, camo, and lighter than a bag
 
Just got done with another tuning session. I'm trying to really microtune the compound this year after my string change a few weeks ago. I find that it is best to look at it like a few tuning weeks. I can get it roughed in quick, but shooting bareshafts at 25 to 30 yards is really sensitive to my shooting (mostly my trigger control) and the wind (so I need a day with periods of almost no wind). If I'm not shooting good, I just set the bow down for that day and don't push it. Today, I had a mostly great day shooting and my bareshafts and fletched are shooting to the same point and angle out to 25 yards. I shot one bad shot after all that, and then I knew "just put it down before you fix it until it is broke". In the next week or so, I'll screw on a broadhead and start shooting those out to 40 to 50 yards and once those are flying right with my field points, then I'm done.

Tuning up and down is the biggest pain. I'm not going to move my d loop/tied nocks inside it over and over. And when you move the rest up or down then it changes the tension on my dropaway rest cord and my bow won't shoot if I just pull the cord down snug. So, I've had the bow in the drawboard to time the rest at least 10 times just today (and the drawboard sits on the ground).

This might be the best I've ever gotten a compound to shoot. When I'm doing my part, the bareshafts fly like lasers and I can watch them arc beautifully into the target.
 
Picked up a bow press today. Found one on AT near by. Custom built like an X press. But works. Finally got the new used set of limbs on the bow. Had to make a few modifications. But was able to press down the old parker crossbow. Practiced on and off a few times. Felt good about it in the end. Gonna order a new set of limbs for the old girl. My daughter seems to like it. I think I will just fix it, and give it to her.

It's not as nice as that pac press. But it does work. I had to flip the outer posts over so I could press the crossbow. It wouldn't relax enough to open after I took the cables off. I Mounted it on my rolling hunting cart. I think I might be able to rig up a draw board to it.
For $100 not bad I guess. Screenshot_20230709-090037-023.png
