    For small critters, I would recommend the classic Crossman 1377/22 pellet pistol. A very reliable and accurate pump pistol.

      That Pellet gun is too slow to be considered a firearm so I'm not sure if you'd be legally allowed to hunt with it considering many states have mininum velocity requirements. If you're going to shove something in your backpack for a survival situation a handgun or a takedown bow would be better.

    Your string has large and small loops .Put the large loop on top limb and slide it down then small loop on low limb that way you just slide the string to the end of top limb for easy stringing and when you add your knock point it will be in same place every time .And use feathers on a bow that is not cut to center the plastic vane is kicking your arrow over at every shot. Cool bow tho Thanks for the vid

    Good video brother. May I suggest that first of all that you take your bow to a bow shop and let the pros set it up for you. The trick to accuracy is proper form when shooting and consistency. A knock set will put your arrow at the same height every time. Your anchor point must be the same place every time etc. The brace height must be set properly so that the arrows hit the target straight and not angled left or right and also neither up nor down. A professional will paper train it for you. Then when you unstring your bow be careful to put the string loops together and tied together so that they can't possibly untwist and change your brace height. Keep that measurement written down just in case. I don't mean to sound like a know it all. Please forgive me if I do. I am a former State Champion with a Primitive Longbow. God Bless

    Excellent video. mate. I'm not using the Recon, as the Recon will not fit into my medium ALICE-pack. The Recon is 2 inch longer than the regular SAS bow. As I am living in Germany, bow-hunting is a felony here. Of course I carry hunting and Bodkin arrowheads, as they are still legal to buy here, anyway they are illegal to use.

      @@SurvivalOnPurpose Even if you have a hunting-license here in Germany. Bow and crossbow hunting is totally illegal and a felony here in Germany. Politics nowadays even speak about crossbows being regulated as weapons like guns. And it is very hard to get a license to own a gun here in Germany. Which I believe is unfair on one side, on the other side here in Germany is so many people on such confined space. There's so much aggression here, even if Germany pretends to be a social-state. It is not. It is a pseudo-social state.
      You've had Amok-runs at schools in the US, we in Germany also had AMOK-runs in schools. Have You ever heard of any AMOK in schools in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Poland, Switzerland, Denmark, Austria etc. --- All countries where it is much easier to buy a gun. I've never heard of such AMOK in before mentioned countries ... here in Germany it happens, as kids know where the key to Dad's gun-safe is. (Here in Germany it is mandatory to lock away Your guns if You are a hunter or sports-shooter).
      Germany is one of the countries with the most restrictive laws when it comes to owning a firearm, besides GB and Japan. Besides we've had things like Columbine even here. As I mentioned ... an industrial country, unfair and sick to the core ....
      We have a plague here in Germany and that's wild boar. Hunters (people with a hunting-license) recently got the right to use silencers on their guns due to the boar plague. Wanna know what kind of guns people with a hunting-license may own: 3 rounds in the magazine when it comes to rifles and shotguns. That's it .. total castration by the law. As a hunter here in Germany You are allowed to carry a gun that has a magazine-capacity of 3 rounds and that's it. Even if we are allowed to use silencers on our guns, how shall we get into controlling the wild-boar plague? Tell me!!?
      To get the wild-boar plague under control we'd need fully automatic weapons, at best belt-fed machine-guns.

    Another good way to set your knock if lost is to tie in an over sized d-loop piece of cord wrapped around the string and then glued into place with a small drop of super glue and if you use a bright color ( orange,white,yellow,ect ) you can see the knock point in low light it helps I have the tactile version of this bow in 45lbs and it works greate.

    I tried one of the original versions a few years ago. I absolutely despised that bow. I sent it back without doing a review. It would be an easier pill to swallow if it were under $100. But $220 for a piece of tubular aluminum, 2 brackets and solid fiberglass limbs is just too much. The ergonomics are horrendous and it's slow as molasses. There are some truly high quality bows on the market that can be had for less $. Do a search for the Black Hunter. It's sold under a variety of brands (made in China) but is a takedown bow that is very well made and executed for about $130. There are plenty of other options available if that one doesn't suit you.

      Saber Max I understand your points. That said, the bow I shot was a review sample. I had it for a few months and even took it to a large traditional archery shoot. I have do doubt the parts are of decent quality. My opinion stems from the execution.

    • @SurvivalOnPurpose
      @SurvivalOnPurpose  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I like the "no assembly required" aspect and what seems like pretty solid construction. Maybe if I was an accomplished archer I'd feel differently but it seems to get the job done for a wannabe like me. The only other takedown model I've tried is the Wrascal bow that was in a Battlbox.

    @Bowfella 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My only quarrel with this bow is that it really isn't anything new. Takedown Bows where you can take the limbs off the Riser have been around forever. Sure this is a more compact version, but it eliminates the option of having a more sophisticated arrow rest or sight. Plus I don't see it coming in draw weights heavier than 45lbs so I wouldn't use it for anything more than small game (unless it's a survival situation). I see this as more of a backpacking bow instead, this can fit perfectly into a rucksack.

    At thet point lift and flex the bow while sliding the loop on the top end towards top notch and make sure the string is fully seated.

    @Woodenarrows 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The bow will be easier to string if you slip the top loop of the string on the upper limb before attempting to brace and string the bow. That way all you don't have to go over the upper tip but just slide the upper string loop up the limb and let it fall into the limb tip nock. Also, you can just tie on a string nock point, two points, one above and below the nock is better than one. th-cam.com/video/e789hUCBXI4/w-d-xo.html

    0:20 YES. YES A MILLION TIMES. So many "survival" shows are absolutely terrible when it comes to actually having sustainable food. Anyone who actually thinks you can survive without hunting and fishing is a fool. Just getting minimal protien from mice and bugs is not enough, you need FAT. Which you get from fish and large game (some small game but only a select few). Even more reputable shows like Survivorman fall victim to this, LeStroud does NOT know how to hunt.
