you need an inclinometer and a calculator shooting steep uphill has the opposite effect as shooting steeply downhill as far as arrow flight time is concerned; deceleration from gravity vs acceleration from gravity

BOTH SOLD, thanks!

not the whole story and the wrong math, as the issue is not the distance but the arc of the arrow that is most influenced at different angles and it is not only the horizontal distance that has the longest effect of gravity on the arrow's path and thus it's point of impact at steep angles. you are simply solving for B, horizontal distance here and the distance is not what you are trying to find, also, you are not firing at the deer's feet, but 3 feet higher, which effects the drop of the arrow, so to have the flight line of the arrow intersect the deer at the heart area you can immediately see that your distance point B needs to be well BEYOND the deer, and because the arrow flight is not a straight line but an arc you can see that your B distance will vary based on arrow speed and drag and it is the drop of the arrow that you are solving for, which is basic trigonometry, first you need to find the cosine of the angle at the deer relative to the tree stand archer, not at it's feet. immediately obvious is the height of the target is in play as is the levelness of the ground, and the temperature and pressure as it relates to arrow speed and ofcourse the important effects of gravity on the arrow dependant on the arrow speed and loss of speed. I won't go into the math unless anyone truly cares, you won't have the equipment with you in the tree to accurately measure anyway, suffice it to say because of the downward pull of gravity on an arrow, even todays fast bows, the steep uphill shot is much longer than you measure horizontally to the target and the steep downhill shot as from a treestand is shorter but only marginally so mostly because todays bows have little difference in impact point from 5 yards to 15 yards. don't forget you also have acceleration from gravity when shooting downhill.

I'd like to see something more on tracking and reading sign, I see a big emphasis on cameras and planting food and much less talk about woodsman skills and actual hunting and this ground is perfect for reading sign, perfect. then again you don't see ice cream in the flavor of Burnt Hair because there is no interest in that...it is very very different in this NY world, perhaps there is no interest in these things here.

yes, especially since they often crouch before taking off, people often call this jumping the string , more often its the movement and noise from the hunter's release but in any case holding low will bag more deer than holding high also, in shooting downhill steep angles with a gun you're going to also hit high, bullet path is higher than line of sight, exacerbated by the steepness of the down angle, so you want to hold even lower more important than anything when shooting steep angles with the bow is you MUST keep the same plane between bow riser and your upper body, not bending properly and fully from the hips is what makes difficult anchoring..

ya gotta stop babying everyone the kid buying the canoe called , he is at the house in Vermont...where am I?? I said, well, kiddo, you were a cry baby about the distance so I drove the canoe 50 miles further away. Grow a pair.

you know, I don't have any photos of this boat.....taking one outside is pointless, its got another rowboat and canoes on top of it all lashed down, I can't lift anything for another 10 days.....sigh... this is all I came up with

...and then you did anyway...tsk tsk tsk

well, try to figure something out, I'd be happy some decent folks got this stuff.

Just popped on here to mark it SOLD, pending the fella showing up... I won't name names but he too thought it was a long run to get it until I pointed out from our home in WY to the University of Wyoming football games in Laramie actually is 10 miles longer than it is from Albany, NY to Washington,,D.C. If an old crippled blind couple can drive down to watch a university game and turn around and drive back through the Rocky Mtns at night , in snowstorms, with elk, deer, pronghorn, loose cattle and buffalo on the switchback passes then a younger guy certainly should be able to handle driving across flat little NY state with all the painted lines and rest areas and text stops and nothing but deer and raccoons to look out for.....stop being sissies. oh, yeah, I forgot we drink while driving too, so snap out of it. but you do drive at ridiculously slow speeds...cripes, our school zone is a 45 mph zone, lotta highways here are only 55...sheesh!

extremely sturdy and stable, duck hunting out of it is a breeze you can also put the Grumman sailing kit on it or use as is

$400 I agreed to $400 plus some small trade stuff and the kid never showed up last night so fair is fair if I'd take $400 from him I'll take $400 from the rest of you

I think that is the universe's way of telling you we really should all be getting fruit baskets from you, not just a "like this" click button response.

army issue rain poncho, cuts wind like a brick wall, Hefty bag if you don't like green

snowmobile suit. unzip the legs or arms if you get too warm, zip them up to get toasty.

that's a beginners kit! but No! you can start off with the mostly finished kits and they are an excellent way to get your feet wet... I honestly think that once in your life you need to cut the tree down for the stock, grab a couple pieces of flat steel to make a barrel and learn what it's like to make a sand cast and cast your brass and silver parts. But any start anywhere is better than not starting it at all! grab a kit and have some fun flintlock hunting is about Hunting, not shooting, you see these kids today in camouflage and they're shooting at 500 yards....why the camo? the point of the flintlock is to hunt, I don't think I've ever shot an animal past 35 yards except one moose I head shot years ago but there is target shooting with flintlocks and its always fun to see what you can do way out there, as I've shown before on here we do 1,000 yard shoots with handguns, it's not hunting its shooting and a shame that's what hunting has become to some in this country but anyway..... the accuracy of the flintlock is in the shooter, most modern guns shoot far better than the people doing the shooting but in the front stuffer world the skill of the shooter is only enhanced by an accurate gun. what is accuracy but consistency? so being consistent in your loading, measuring, components ...each item you make consistent shaves another tenth off your group, very good springs in your hammer and trigger, another couple tenths, a very good lock, another tenth, a very well made barrel..another tenth, and lots of trigger time another few tenths before you know it, you are punching one ragged hole at 50 yards, or 100 or whatever you are capable of. like most things the better the quality of the parts the better the accuracy but not always... My family used to hold beef and turkeys shoots on the weekends, and my 5 brothers and I would always slide in there and make sure the turkeys and beef didn't go home with other people. our father, a competition shooter and live bird competitor, read hustler, would train us how to beat the local boys and win the side bets and sometimes we[d be surprised, but not often. Our father would size up the competition and make side bets with the gallery and spectators and sometimes he wouldn't bet at all and let us just shoot for the beef quarter or turkey and n those times we almost always were beaten or nearly beaten by a stranger that stood out to Dad and he would warn us, " boys, beware of that man, he only owns one gun..and a man who only owns one gun you can bet sure knows how to shoot it..." NOT my photo, just one that popped up on the world wide web searching for "muzzleloader target group"

I know that feeling I always have electrical tape holding my barrels on while I am out trying loads, and in not alone! :-) All the parts in one place makes my trigger finger itch

yep, that's a good middle of the road general use set up, I think you will really enjoy it!

congrats. whose kit? and rifle or smoothbore?

this is SOLD , trying to figure out how to lock it or remove it? Thanks!

I have a currently registered 16 foot Mirrocraft Utility V model 4656 with caravan galvanized trailer for sale. it is either a 1998 or 1999 ,I'll check registration, it is the 4656-S but back when Mirro had a 40 HP rating on the boats, the new ones are 25 HP max and stick with that IMO, I had a 40 hp on it when we lived on the lake and had to cross it to get to the house, it was excellent but honestly TOO FAST, that's a lot of tiller to hang onto. the 25 worked better and was perfectly fine with three people. the trailer is a bunk model caravan, I have one spare tire for it brand new, it has been sitting since last year, needs a good power washing. I'm really struggling to get photos to post today this is the mirrocraft stock photo online, its very similar boat but with three bench seats and 16 foot length. max is 6 people or 1100pounds, Pickup in Bennington, Vermont has a 1 7/8" hitch size on it. ready to go! No motor unless we do a motor deal too.? $1,200 firm Cash. SlickRockPack@outlook (dot) com you can price a new set up just look up MirroCraft 4656-S 16 foot and the Karavan galvanized trailer is ( I believe) # 1250-56, the boat was about $3,000, trailer around $1,000. I think its fair for the wear and tear on them, they aren't new but are not beat up either, never been in salt water or in water with invasives. I think it's fair, if you don't think so throw out a number

yepper, I would use them til the end but I cant lift them I cant pull start them, time for someone else to have a helluva time. they don't have to go together, I'll split them up!

according to Cabelas website the Mercury is 55 pounds Mercury® Four-Stroke Outboard Motors Item number: IK - 017287 MODEL 4M 4ST 15" and the Johnson 3 HP according to the NADA boat pricing guide is 27 pounds speaking with a young man about these motors I forgot that not everyone is familiar with small outboards, the 4hp merc has reverse, the Johnson motors do not, only neutral and forward, you turn the motor all the way around to go backwards. The merc has a twist grip throttle, the Johnson has a lever that controls throttle on the face of the motor, the tiller handle literally is only a tiller, it steers and nothing else.
