Keep us informed on that shower heater. I attempted to fab a heat exchanger using truck radiator water. The first did not get hot enough, so I made one with twice as many coils; haven't installed it yet. We I stalled a LS in the 04 Tacoma and tomorrow engine cage lol. I managed to buy my Turkey tag.

How do you like the sticks? I am thinking about giving the XOP minis a run and getting rid of my 30" Hawk Heliums.
Ordered some new arrows and feathers from Lancaster Archery yesterday. I thought I might give feathers a chance since they are lighter than vanes. Trying to slightly increase FOC without increasing total arrow weight. I will try it on one arrow and see how it flies. If it doesn't work, I wasted $10. Oh well, I have wasted $10 on worse things.
Ah the old is new again... Feathers are problematic in rain/moisture. You can hit them with some dwr (or recipes used for dry flies) and it'll help some, adds a tiny bit of weight. They also wear, separate and fall off... You may shoot them off depending on your test and glue. Good luck.
Yeah, I knew all that. I am going to just start with one and see how it flies, more curious than anything else. Thanks for the tip on DWR. I really only plan on hunting with these in dry conditions, if I can get them to fly...
Best cold weather jacket I have ever used! The only thing that would make it perfect, would be if it was waterproof and quiet at the same time. Other then that awesome jacket Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
It's what my old archery guy told me to use...he was a competitive shooter that shot against Fred bear a few times and was pretty good. The spray worked for me. You do a few LIGHT coats letting it to dry between coats. There was also a common powder he would use...I just can't recall which powder it was at the moment. . Gosh this just reminded me I still after all these years have two aluminium arrows with 4 huge fu fu feather fletching on each of them . He was always giving me something to shoot. God Rest his soul.
I'm going to be in real trouble this season...nothing comes even close to fitting other than the game hide rain suit I won years ago and gave hubby. Even that it's roomy, which allows me to layer underneath. That is a lot of hunting clothes. Belts on pants help but the waist really folds and fall camo sweats impossible to cinch up enough. I am going to need to replace my extreme weather suit, So ideas and places to look for best prices would be appreciated.
Camofire is your friend. Download the app and they have specials every day. Many deep discounts. And some of the days it's even all women's hunting clothes. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
You could of had it for $100 cheaper had you listened to me. You're going to love that jacket though, best money I've spent on a very warm layer.

We might have to disagree just a bit on this one. Yes, feathers will get wet if it rains, but I hunted with them for two years and even soaked they still steer an arrow adequately. I tested this one myself a long time ago. I actually soaked feather fletched arrows in a big mug of water and then shot them tipped with Slick Trick Magnums. They still hit were I was aiming. Personally, I think that when you release 65# or 70# of stored energy onto an arrow, almost all of the water held in the feathers is left behind on the shot. They do look kind of like a drowned cat, but they still work. When I shot feathers I never had one come off. I shot chunks out of them, but I never even managed to shoot one off. That might be due to the fact that I always used Loctite Super Glue Gel to glue them to wraps instead of the carbon shaft. They are prone to wear and separation, especially if you shoot them off a recurve or longbow, but as long as you're careful with them they'll do their job nicely. My biggest problem with feathers is how loud they are out of a modern compound. I just recently found out how loud Blazer Vanes are in flight. Feathers are considerably louder than Blazers.
