Congrats on the buck! I guess the camera anti-shake doesn't work too well when a big boy is rubbing a tree right in your face, huh? Pretty cool!
Awesome video!! I'd like to put it up on the InsaneArchery website. Please send me an email (email address below) so we can coordinate. Brian Piltz InsaneArchery [email protected]
Sorry I missed this 'til now... VERY deserving of a congratulations!! AWESOME buck (he is SO cool and gnarly!!) and I'm glad others asked about the camera and mount... I'll definitely be ordering me that combo before next year.
Congrats on a great buck. Is there anything better than those shakes of excitement after you shoot something!
Email sent Thanks, definitely a good deal. Bought it after seeing it on here. I also have the iphone adaptor but can't let my phone go for the entire hunt. Thanks, I get that with all deer. But think this one got me especially hard after I thought I blew it when he spooked. I lost it after the camera went off, I tried so many times to post on here in the live in the stand thread. I got 8 1/8 and 7 2/8. One was actually longer than the G2. Can't wait until I get him back in/around February. Told the taxi I trusted his judgement on how to shoulder mount him. Can't wait to see it
Congrats !!!! Very up close and personal footage, love it. " Thanks, definitely a good deal. Bought it after seeing it on here. I also have the iphone adaptor but can't let my phone go for the entire hunt " If you use an iphone check out what Firenock has coming out in 2012, It in laymens terms Turns yout iphone into your bowsight / videocamera / pendulum sight etc.... " iBowSight utilizes today’s highest performing smart phones, the iPhone 4 and/or iPhone 4S, coupled with an app that transforms an iPhone into a bow sight with capability that has never been seen. In a nut shell, iBowSight consists of four components: A bow sight mounting bracket, An iPhone, the iBowSight App, and a lens correction system. These four components are not only a cutting edge bow sight but can also take advantage of the iPhone’s video recording capabilities from within the iBowSight App. With future development possibilities are to have auto range finding, night vision, thermal imaging, and target acquisition with instant shooting solution features built on top of our current design platform. As for version 1.0, the feature set is detailed in the App section below. iBowSight App The iBowSight App will be available for purchase via the Apple iTunes App Store in the near future. The iBowSight App not only transforms the iPhone into a bow sight, by leveraging the iPhone’s advanced electronics and iOS 5, it is also a video camera which can film every shot and store them into the internal memory of the iPhone. The video will be recorded in 720p and 1080p when using the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S respectively. In v1.0 of iBowSight, the following features are available: 1.Sight ring can be size from 0.3” radius to an edge to edge radius of 2.1” 2.Sight ring’s can have up to 2.6 millions colors of choice 3.Sight ring can be micro adjust in an increment of 1/326” 4.Each pin size can be adjust from 0.012” radius to 0.240” radius 5.Each pin can have up to 2.6 millions colors of choice 6.Each pin can have its own shape beside a standard dot. At version 1.0 there is a total of 9 shapes to start. 7.One can add up to 7 pins to the sight 8.There is built in digital zoom from 1.0X base on internal optics to 4.0X in an increment of 0.01X 9.3rd axis adjustment to accommodate the most demanding and complicated sight set up 10.Built in water level for visual bow leveling 11.Sight level confirmation via ring color choices. i.e. One can set the ring color to be green (color A) when leveled and red (color B) when the bow is tilted. Thus one can look at the ring color change instead of the water level to confirm if the bow is leveled. 12.One can have the option to set the sight into an automatic pendulum sight when the bow is dropped below 45 degrees. This feature allows the best of both worlds. In pendulum mode, the choice of sight pin shape and color is totally independent from the original pins. However the reference position of the pendulum sight is still base on the 20 yard pin. Therefore setting the pins in use are critical for the pendulum sight options to function properly " http://www.firenock.com/main.php?page=iBowSight Dorge was over for a hunt with me the other day and brought it to demonstrate for me... it was SWEET All I need is an iphone now
Got him back today. Very pleased with the mount, window in the back made it hard to get different angles with my phone. Once mushroom season is done I'll be counting the days until Oct. 1
Dude, congrats. I never saw this back in November as I was hunting most of the time! You did a great job having the patience to hold on that shot until he presented a broadside one. I'm glad I don't video as I am not sure what comes out of my mouth after the shot. He looks good in that man cave. Is that Golden Tee in the middle??
Really nice Buck and a Great Video --about as real as it gets without all the theatrics! How long was your final shot yardage? Hard to determine distance in video. Thanks of sharing - Like to go out right now!
Great job and nice set up with the camera. I have a camera on my bow and I know how hard it is decide when to focus on the hunt and when to play with the camera.
Thanks eveeryone, I'm very happy with him. I didn't realize how dark his face was until I seen him with the other one. Going to send his tooth in for aging, have a aging kit from a place in Texas that will do a cross section. A guy at work thinks he's 2 1/2?? I'm thinking maybe 4 1/2. Thanks, and yes it is a GT. I used to play all the time at the bar and then they ended tourney's and came out with live and I got too old to go to the bar all the time. Always said I'd get one when I got my own house. The shot was probably about 15 yards. Wasn't very long at all and looks more obscured than the first broadside shot, he was 7 yds then. I had a twig in my sight window, or atleast I thought I did. Hard to see anything in the video and at 7 yards I probably could have shot before he busted me and not worried about it. Just glad it worked out, had he spooked and not offered a shot I'd have had to live with that video pondering the what if's.
