I've had an archer in my group who used a laser-tool to measure the distance between the stake and the target in my last 3D-archery tournament. He used it at the first target but understood the gr...
Should I be concerned if my skateboard somehow got wet? Let's say I didn't know it better and rode it in rain for example.
According to the "Australian Bowhunters Association" there is no minimum requirement. Q: What the minimum bow poundage required to hunt in Australia? Answer The ABA has no minimum re...
Skaters commonly wearing special kind of shoes. However, from my point of view they just look like a pair of sneakers. In most cases these are very expensive and I asked myself if they're reall...
They are often basically the same but there are often three additional items listed: tick tweezers louse-comb foldable cone (to be preferred), muzzle or strips of cloth to prevent biting (its wo...
I'm pretty new to skateboarding and I've ordered my first "real" deck. The shop mailed me which ABEC I want to have for my ball bearings. The ABEC scale is an industry accepted standard for th...
I've read that one can create a (actually a pretty decent) fridge with quite common materials a few years ago. How do you do that?
In 3D archery and while hunting we're aiming for the lungs and the heart most of the time. At least this is true for bobcats, lynxes, deer and other similar animals. See this target for example: ...
If one doesn't have much opportunity to go shoot over the winter, how can they maintain their muscles? Which exercises are suitable? What equipment might be handy?
tl;dr What you describe is absolutely allowed (using a bivouac to spend one night). If you set up a small camp (described as a "planned bivouac" further in this text), you shouldn't be in a prot...
We've a map and a functional compass. A compass shows of course the magnetic north and the map provides us with the correct and current declination. The North Magnetic Pole is the point on the...
We found ourselves in a pretty dangerous situation once. We were snowboarding in the backcountry and came to a spot where a rock on the left side and a slope on the right side built a path (about 3...
Let's assume there's a reason to stay dry from rain. You've a form of a basecamp which can keep you dry. Is it better to walk or to run back through the rain? The crux (imho!): Running reduc...
When I hear people talking about archery or I read something about it, there is often a "recurve bow" mentioned. Altough I know how it's shaped etc. I wanted to know what exactly makes a bow to a r...
Someone has recently mentioned a "bullet tip". I assume he meant something for target shooting but it sounds like some hunting equipment. So, what exactly did he refer to?
I'll travel to the Planneralm next summer to shoot a little 3D. However, we've a person in the group which is a little bit concerned about the height (she has a shortness of breath if she goes too ...
Introduction The answer to this question is a surprisingly complicated topic due to the fact that longbows have such a great history and different styles. For example from Wikipedia: The lon...
The Shelf The answer is really simple. It's the little "cut out" just above the grip. This edge where you can "lay down" your arrow while you shoot. A picture might help: Note: An "arrow res...
I'm new to archery and bought a book. However, the author is often using the term "bow shelf" and I can't really imagine what this might be. So, what is a "bow shelf"?
It might be surprising that this question is not as "simple" as it seems. As already stated a field tip is of course there to do target shooting. The crux is that not every "target arrowhead" is au...
I wanted to add something to the very good existing answers. While this would work to harvest a smaller animal, I would definitely not recommend it on any size game. With smaller game, a har...
Assuming you or one of your party has broken his leg (or something). How can you create a provisional splint or cast to bring you/him/her back to the next hospital etc.? Would be cool if it's made...
Yes, there are a few facts to hold in mind. Roving is much fun but you really have to take care about a few points. Don't shoot where other people enjoy their free-time Never shoot towards trai...
My friend and I want to go out for roving. However, this is our first time and we wonder if there's a list what we should consider before moving out? Roving can be described in the most casual...
A bow whose string touches a section of the limb ... Yeah, all these different bows may confuse a beginner. However, it's generally really easy like in this case. A recurve is simply defined as "a...
