It's been really hard for me to find a good shop that is will to take the time to properly evaluate me. I honestly wish there was a class or something you could pay for where they go over paper tuning, bare shaft tuning, and proper form(reconfiguring your bow if necessary)......
you learn by doing and honestly you need things like a press, draw board, etc so you're not wasting time going 3 steps forward and 2 steps back. youtube is your friend but stick to advice coming from tournament/well know bow shooters and certified level (whatever) coaches.

nice guns. like both stocks in different ways. looks like you're almost dialed in for the one photo.

I've only used a Caldwell model that was cheaper. I always kept the battery fresh and used air to keep lint and what not out of the prop. Seemed to work fine but it only tells you wind speed where you're at. maybe out in flatter western NY it doesn't matter as much but here in NE part of the state elevation changes a lot and quickly.

i don't like snakes. Ive relocated milk snakes and garter snakes but water snakes no way. also i never have and hope i never do run into any of our NYS venomous snakes. even with gators I'd never make it down south or out west.

Ive had them on all my bows for a lot of years, zero failures and so easy to setup. Did you tie it in to your cable or use the "football"?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Proi'm a strong proponent of the football. i've never had any issues with one loosening or breaking. i've always used a sharpie marker to make a witness mark just for peace of mind. also it makes timing a breeze. tighten it just barely enough to pull the rest up to full 90 but enough to slide. draw the bow and it'll tell you exact position then give it a slight bump back down. that said i have had bows where the cables too close to give it room. i tie it in and then leave a little extra coming out the knob on the end to allow for tuning without having to serve it back in. your bow tune is constantly evolving as you shoot so how someone can serve it in and then expect to ignore it for the full life of the string is just ignorant IMO.

Make sure you don't get the hunter qad rest,it can bounce back up and mess with your shots. the next step up is better...
my wife has the hunter without the braking feature. I've never had issue with it when timing it the way QAD tells you to. can't really remember as it's been years since i've messed with her bow but it might have been last 1" or less of drawlength or something. only time i ever bought or messed with the hunter model though.
-
all the methods if done right should get you close but when you draw have someone look at your draw arm elbow postion and bow arm position with shoulder. all in alignment and not hyper extended it should look relaxed with elbow running in line with arrow shaft, not in or out as viewed from the back. @The_Real_TCIII posted a good video by Dudley but still people have bobble heads and do weird things to where it could be off a half an inch. They also have weird anchor points and tend to position themselves to deal with the bow fit, so have them close their eyes and anchor as you explain it to them where it feels comfortable.

I've got bourbon county I have to try from over a year ago.Loooong slow sipper. The barrel is perfect marriage with the coconut. Probably the best beer I’ve ever had. And I’ve only had 6 beers in my life

going rate for large rifle primers is .14 per pew. pretty high but i needed them and LR primers hard to come by. small rifle primers are around and more like .10 per if you need them. powder from what I've seen is around $50 per lb. pretty expensive from what it used to be. definitely by more than 8%.
-
Going up into the Allagash way up in northern Maine to hunt black bear. Likely stick to rifle and not bring the bow. Sounds like the outfitter not setup for bowhunters as well. Despite I've gotten them on trail cam and there's more each year around here in eastern NY, I have yet to see one. Just not as prevalent. Trip starts opening day, the week before Labor day.

no guide recommendations but i'd think about a gator hunt too. guaranteed down there but bigger the gator the more money. field picture holding open the mouth of a 10+' gator would be awesome though.

I never walk in the woods without a seat cushion attached to my belt
funny how i've walked out without one though. haha new hunters i've mentored i've given a wind checker bottle full of talc powder and a seat. I've had them borrow shooting sticks and tell them that's also a must have, well for gun hunting. crossbow that would probably also apply.

i've passed multiple bucks i've assumed to be up to 3.5 yr olds that were under my apple tree in the backyard. i only own 1-1/4 acres at the house and my neighbors are all okay with me discharging whatever last time i checked which might not be good enough. i really don't think a 4.5+ yr old buck would be under my apple tree unless it was at night. a bow would be a little disrespectful for me because i know it's likely to leave my property. a rifle i could dump it right there potentially, despite it's more obnoxious. so it's a possibility but really likely not. no different than capitalizing on opportunity by shooting a buck you didn't pattern, track, or pull in on a managed property.

water resistant foam hunting seat/cushion on a milk crate most of the time if i'm off the ground. more often i'm on the ground with just the cushion that's attached to me. too much other stuff is a plain to carry in/out and holds too much scent to leave.

Our county clerk did a radio interview in which she said ,Monroe county has between 60000 and 70000 concealed carriers and adds 2000 per year .
The judges said they don’t know how they can interview 2000 every year. There’s absolutely no way they can interview / and process the existing 60-70k carriers that have to renew over the up coming three years and go through the process as if they’re new application’s.
Not to,mention how these numbers can all take a 16 hour class with live fire , which doesn’t yet even exist.
Ive had multiple training classes, Hunter ed, Florida’s and Utah’s training class of four hours each , and others I I took on my own . I also took the training to teach Hunter ed of which firearm safety and handling was a big part .
Mrs Nomad and I just renewed our permits, so we’re good for three years ,and by then hopefully it’s all struck down . I also co registered my guns on three other permits in different parts of the state , in case I lose my NY permit .
Don’t forget you’ll need a fire proof gun safe in your vehicles ,for your long guns If you leave them unattended,like buying food on the way to camp , or running to town for lunch and not having a camp or house to store them in . Otherwise you face a felony haha . “But but but I just own a couple hunting guns “ ya they don’t like you either .
updates and conversation again this morning the pistol clerk blatantly said the logistics of just processing all the permits let alone the course evaluations are pretty much not possible. late yesterday into this early this morning they did way over 100. just to hold a class and live fire of a certain capacity they'd need a dozen certified instructors. live fire is practically 1 on 1 to ensure safe handling and no incidents happen should someone who isn't proficient/prepared show up. everyone better be practicing to at least 25 yards and no POI with fixed sights or sight in their pistols. you might only get one chance to keep permit and what's on it.
...other issue is some counties won't co-register any pistol. they state reasons like divorce or domestic disputes with multiple permits having the same serial number listed gets complicated.-

So do we register by 8/31? Then hope this all changes , I can't find a solid piece on line that states its for all ccw holders or new going forward. Myself having a ccw in Albany co am very confused . It took me 25 years of trying to get my ccw, that when I got it I felt honored.
you have to talk to your county clerk pistol permit office. it's changing by the day. I talked to mine across the river last week in person and again this morning. stuff i'm reading online and from gun shops is all over the place, some being speculation and some just plain inaccurate. not that they necessarily fed you BS, so much as yesterday's word trickling down from NYSP is changing.

Everything seems in line with what I've been told. I didn't pick up on any discrepancy.I did not write out the below information. This was done by the Wayne County Clerk and emailed out to SCOPE members. I thought it did a fair job of explaining some of the new stuff and it seemed to align with a lot that I have already heard but now it's slightly more than just rumors.
This is the most up to date information on Fire Arm Regulation that we have received from the State Police: If any of this information appears confusing or contradictory it probably is. The County Clerk shares your frustration with this situation and the unfair penalties our law abiding citizens are being put through.
SUMMARY:
1) For the removal of restrictions in Wayne County an amendment will need to be submitted to the County Clerk’s Office for the Judge to review.
2) We are waiting for greater clarification on the details mentioned below. As I receive more information I will post it on the County Clerk’s web page. Anything in this memo is subject to revision and update.
3) The Judge as certifying officer has significantly increased responsibilities. As we receive details and direction from the Court I will be sure to make the public aware.
4) Much of the issuing authority on pistol permits has been moved from our local County Judges and has been transferred to the State Police. Time will tell what this means.
5) The new statute removes the Sheriff’s office from doing pistol permit background investigations and transfers the responsibility to the State Police.
LIFTING OF RESTRICTIONS ON A PISTOL PERMIT
1) Anyone wishing to have restrictions removed from their pistol permit will need to file an amendment for the judge to review and consider. The amendment fee is $3 amendment fee and $10 card fee.
2) Restriction removal is not automatic. An amendment requesting removal will need to be filed.
3) Please note that everything is subject to change due to actions yet to be taken by the Governor and Legislature.
HOCHUL PISTOL PERMIT RESTRICTIONS LAW
In a period of six hours the Hochul Pistol Permit Restrictions law was released to the public and then signed into law. We are in the process of trying to understand what was passed and what it means. Here is what has been gleaned from the statute so far:
1. The "good moral character" eligibility requirement for all pistol permits (concealed or otherwise) will be defined in greater detail in the law. Going forward it shall 2 mean "having the essential character, temperament and judgement necessary to be entrusted with a weapon and to use it only in a manner that does not endanger oneself or others."
2. New requirements will need to be met specifically for concealed-carry permit applicants. An applicant for such a permit: a. Cannot have been convicted of Assault 3rd, misdemeanor DWI, or menacing within 5 years prior to application b. The applicant must meet in person with the Judge for an in-person interview c. The applicant must submit to the Judge and investigating agency the names and contact information of the applicant's spouse, domestic partner and any other adults residing in the applicant's home, as well as indicate whether or not there are children living at the applicant's home, even parttime. d. The names and contact information of 4 references who can speak to the applicant's good moral character, and who can also attest that the applicant has not made any statements or taken any action that would lead them to believe that the applicant would harm themselves or others. e. Certification of completion of the new training requirement (more on this below) f. A list of former and current social media accounts from the past 3 years must be disclosed to the Judge and investigating agency. However the legislation does not require that the applicant provide access to these accounts.
3. Prior to the issuance of a concealed carry permit, an applicant must complete an "in-person live firearms safety course." Such course must be: a. Conducted by a duly authorized instructor. The definition of who is an authorized instructor and who does the authorizing has not been determined by the State Police. b. At least 16 hours long c. Covering those topics required by DCJS, which include things like general firearm safety, safe storage requirements, conflict de-escalations, best practices when encountering law enforcement, a minimum of 2 hours of live-fire range training, etc. PL section 265.20 would be amended to grant an exemption from prosecution for possessing a pistol without a license for the purposes of such training. d. Current concealed carry pistol permit holders would need to complete this training course prior to their next recertification. It must only be completed once, not upon every subsequent renewal.
4. Concealed carry pistol permits will have to be recertified every 3 years, as opposed to the standard 5 years. Licenses that were issued over 3 years prior to the effective date of this legislation would have to be recertified within 1 year. 3
5. The Judge will be granted the discretion to revoke or suspend any license if the possessor engaged in acts that would have been grounds for denial of the granting of the license in the first place. Judges must give written and specific reasons for denials so applicants know what to expect. Additionally, a licensing officer must revoke a license if it becomes know that the applicant made a materially false statement on his or her application.
6. Denials, suspensions, and revocations of licenses can be appealed but will no longer be handled by a local judge. Appeals will be reviewed by an "appeals board" that will be created by State Police. DCJS in cooperation with the State Police, will be responsible for promulgating rules and regulations with regard to the operation of the board
7. The legislation also creates the crime of possession of a firearm, rifle or shotgun in a "sensitive location". This would be a class E felony. Police officers, peace officers, active-duty military personnel, and persons engaged in lawful hunting activity would be exempted. Sensitive places are defined as:
a. Federal, State and local government property
b. Any place that provides healthcare, mental health care, or addiction treatment services
c. Any place of worship or religious observations
d. Public parks, public playgrounds, zoos and libraries
e. Any place, or the location of any program, licensed, regulated, or operated by DOH, OASAS, OCFS, OMH or OPWDD.
f. Nurseries, preschools and summer camps
g. Homeless shelters, youth homes, family shelters, DV shelters, etc.
h. Schools of all education levels
i. Public transportation
j. Any establishment that serves alcohol
k. Entertainment venues such as stadiums, concert halls, racetracks, museums amusement parks, conference centers, etc.
l. Polling places
m. Any public sidewalk or property that restricted from general public access for a special event that has been issued a permit for the same
n. Any gathering of individuals to collectively express their constitutional rights to protest or assemble
o. Times Square
There is no list of locations where it is acceptable to carry your weapon concealed in New York State
8. This legislation demands the creation of an ammunition sales database maintained by the State Police. "There shall be a statewide license and record database specific for ammunition sales which shall be created and maintained by the State police the cost of which shall not be borne by any municipality no later than thirty days upon designating the division of state police as the point of 4 contact to perform both firearm and ammunition back- ground checks under federal and state law. "
9. The legislation would require that firearms dealers record all ammunition sales in the database. The records maintained in this database would not be subject to FOIL and will be maintained by the State Police.
10.Firearm owners would have new safe storage requirements when leaving weapons in their vehicles. Guns left in a vehicle would first have to have the ammunition removed, and then the gun would have to be locked in a "safe storage depository" somewhere out of sight from outside the vehicle.
11.The Law creates new home safe storage requirements for when an individual cohabitates with or has present an individual under the age of 18, up from 16. It has not been determined which police agency will be responsible to policing the home storage and what the penalty for non compliance would be.
12.DCJS will be tasked with conducting NICS checks for every firearm and ammunition purchase made in New York State. How this is supposed to happen or if there is a fee has not been determined
13.The Sheriff’s office or local police agencies will no longer be conducting background investigations for pistol permits. The entire process has been centralized under the State Police and DCJS in Albany. Quote: “Upon receiving a request from a licensed dealer pursuant to section eight hundred ninety-six or eight hundred ninety-eight of the general business law, the division shall initiate a background check by (i) contacting the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) or its successor to initiate a national instant criminal background check, and (ii) consulting the statewide firearms license and records database established pursuant to subdivision three of this section, in order to determine if the purchaser is a person described in sections 400.00 and 400.03 of the penal law, or is prohibited by state or federal law from possessing, receiving, owning, or purchasing a firearm or ammunition.”
14. The effective dates of these statutes appears to be a blend of conflicting dates and feasible compliance of September 1, 2022 and April 2023. We are waiting for clarification.
SEMI AUTOMATIC RIFLE PERMITTING
IF YOU HAVE A PISTOL PERMIT
At this time we have not received any information or forms from the courts or the state police. When we have more we will update this page. This requirement is supposed to go into effect on September 1.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A PISTOL PERMIT
At this time we have not received any information or forms from the courts or the state police. When we have more we will update this page. This requirement is supposed to go into effect on September 1.
RECERTIFICATION
1) The New York State Police web site for filing your pistol permit recertification. The paper application is posted on this site as well. https://troopers.ny.gov/Firearms/
2) The Hochul Pistol permit restrictions law now requires that all permit holders must pass a 16 hour gun safety class with 2 hours of live fire training prior to recertification. We do not have information on when this will take effect or what the training will look like. Best advice is to continue recertifying as normal until we hear differently from the state police.
3) If you held a pistol permit prior to January 31, 2013 your second pistol permit recertification will need to be done by January 31, 2023. After that date, recertification is due every 3 years from the date of issuance.
4) You can check the expiration of your recertification on the State Police Web Site mentioned above.
5) If the form is submitted electronically the permit holder will receive a receipt that can be printed out. If submitted by mail it was recommended that the application be sent by certified mail so that there will be proof of mailing.
6) Regardless of being filed electronically or by paper, a permit holder can check the status of their recertification on the state police web site.
7) If you have a NICS check by a dealer you still need to recertify with the State Police.
8. If you have a Brady check by the County Clerk’s Office you still need to recertify with the State Police.
9) Semi Automatic permits will need to be rescheduled on this same schedule.

Draw Length
in Bow Hunting

Don't have a hooter shooter or a chrono. Tune your bow and speed is what it is. Drawboard and press are essentially the most important tools. Next is the versa cradle bow vise I use.
