That’s cause when Grandpa said that you were a fidgety 8 year old kid and Grandpa didn’t want you to flip the boat with him in it! 🤣

I'll check it out. I think that is probably my next and most likely final upgrade. Thanks man!

Thanks Mike. My dad is about to turn 79 and he is still getting out there with his crossbow! That's awesome! Keep it up.

Yea I do think that would be a good addition. I am definitely considering that for sure! Thanks bud!

I have a small target and a practice arrow I use when I am finished with my hunt. You basically shoot it to decock it.

Thanks bro!

My hooks still get stuck in it an awful lot, does yours?

Thank you 👍

So there is a difference but it's not a night and day kind of difference. Check out this video and you can see the audible difference it makes based on the sounds levels I recorded with and without: ua-cam.com/video/doeBhjk74sg/v-deo.html

@@BooneDownSouth thanks

Yea man that is a great price on a very nice crossbow. I think when I initially bought mine it was $800 or so. The scope was fine, but CVLIFE sent me one of their scope models to test out and so that is what I have mounted on it now. It is one of those 20 yards to 100 yard scopes. I do like the CVLIFE better, but not because of that. I like it better because it has illumination. What a world of difference that makes at first and last light. ua-cam.com/video/E2282LqtSWs/v-deo.html

@@BooneDownSouth Matter of fact i have one of those and was gonna use it- by the way- I'm down south in Mississippi

@@kennethrogers1129 That would be perfect!

Oh man.. that's awful. I haven't had that issue fortunately, but I guess I'm not out with it in too many rain storms either.

So this is what you need to do. Sight in at 20 yards using the regular scope adjustments just to get the windage correct. Then once that is done, sight in at 50 yards using your scope adjustment. Yes that will totally mess up what you did at 20 yards but don't worry. They key is getting 50 yards dead on. Once 50 yards is dead on, do not make any more adjustments with the normal yardage adjustments on the scope. Now go back to 20 yards, but instead of using the normal windage and yardage adjustments on your scope, you are going to use the speed adjustment or "zoom" ring. Adjust in one direction and if that takes you further away, make your adjustment in the other direction. You will figure it out in a couple of shots. But keep making the adjustments on the speed ring until your 20 is on. During this whole process, your 50 will always be on because it is the center of the scope and the center never changes as you change zoom on the speed ring. Once you have the 20 yards set with this method, you should be good to go. I ended up shooting mine out to 80 yards with this method.

It's part of section 1 and section 2. We put in at Russell Bridge at the state line and took out at Long Bottom Ford campground. We had some shoals but nothing serious to worry about.

There are shoals in several sections of this stretch but nothing bad. It is a loooong run though.

Thanks Rich! I am a big proponent of wearing a safety harness and not just the safety harness but the whole lifeline. When I was young and dumb I would climb 20' up a tree putting tree steps in along the way and then mounting one of those old loc-on stands on the tree with no harness or nothing. Then I bowhunted out of that little loc-on stand with nothing. It is only by the grace of God I never fell. How foolish I was back then. I think everyone needs to wear a safety harness and use a lifeline. Every year there are bad stories of people falling from their treestand.

Hey David, the white and black used on the tip overlays were pieces of phenolic.

@@BooneDownSouth Where did you acquire it at T.Y.

I got it from Bingham Projects but, sadly, they shut down.

Yea man! So this stretch is the piece that comes out of the tail end of Lake Greenwood. It's a great stretch for sure.

@@BooneDownSouth yeah man thanks looks awesome

Man it just depends. We tend to fish it slow and then we get out and stop in several places and fish the holes and then move on, break for lunch, it usually takes us about 6-8 hours. You could do it a lot faster if you wanted to for sure, but we take our time and fish it hard.

Thank you. Glad it helped. I'm working on a 1 year update to how I have it all rigged out. Made a few changes since then and I think my setup has gotten even better.

Yea I think it has been hot about everywhere lately! One of these days I'm going to head to PA and fish the Susquehanna.

Yea buddy!

Yep since then, I have backed my braid. I have not had a problem with spooling braid using the piscifun spooler since then. In fact I just spooled braid on a spool with it 2 weeks ago! Thanks for the info!

From what I am gathering is that folks seem to get a pair that work, or they get a pair that just doesn't work very well. I'm glad yours is working for you.

This is a great crossbow, especially at the current price point. You can switch the safety to be left or right handed, but if you get the model with the accudraw, the crank will be on the right side.

Haven't touched skis since I was like 17 so I don't know about that. The prop is the standard prop that came on the motor.

@BooneDownSouth would you mind looking at the prop next time you are around the boat? It will be engraved on it. 21,22,23, etc.... I'm going through the same thing you were when doing research and your video was super helpful. The prop pitch would be super helpful to me as well!

Not sure about that. If you already have the bigger tires, you should be able to see whether or not they would hit by just visualizing how that mud flap will extend down farther.

Yea I ran a drag line down that path before daylight. I was done for the morning and popped up on my knees to start packing up and there he was. After he left, i gave it another 15 mins, popped back to start packing up and here came the second one. Ya never know. It was fun though!

Very welcome

You bet!

I grew up in Florida and that is about the only thing I miss about it - the fishing! Yea if you are in lakes and use a trolling motor, the SS127 is hard to beat for sure and you are dead on about the seat. Super comfortable and great height.

Oh yea years ago I was using an old amaker heavy steel tree stand hunting in palm tree on a management area in Florida. The bottom dropped out on me. It was awful getting down and bringing the top part of the stand with me. Banged my head all the way down. I always attach the bottom to the top to prevent that from happening now. I like the idea of that foot brace. That is a good idea. Especially for long sits. Thanks for the info!

Yea I really liked it. Thought it made things a little easier and didn't have to worry about my rods getting caught in the trees. Once I got it adjusted for me, it worked great and was not in the way at all like I was afraid it might be. Took a little bit to figure out how to lock it in the track though ;)

Maybe there are multiple ways to get in packed in there, but this is the only way I could do consistently. Crazy right?

You are so welcome!

It's all about what you want to get out of it.

Thanks man. We put in at the Hwy 28 bridge (Russell Bridge) where it cross the state line. There is a parking area on the GA side and you can take your kayak down the hill and put in at the bridge. We took out at the Long Bottom Ford Campground. We also catch some Bartram's Bass in the Savannah River at the Augusta Shoals area but not every time. Little farther drive for you there though.

@@BooneDownSouth awesome, yeah that's the bridge I went to last June looking to put my kayak in. How far downstream were you able to catch the bartram's from the bridge. I waded to where the other creek comes in in the right. I guess that's the West fork? I asked a couple of fly fisherman there about if they had caught any bartram's and they acted like I was crazy so I assumed none were there and I just trout fished instead. Thanks so much for your help I want to get one so bad. I'll be there in a couple weeks can't wait.

Thanks man!

Thanks and welcome!

So people are always going to say that man. Back in the day, when they went from 50% let off to 65% let-off you had people saying the same thing about compound bows. In those days, 85% let- off was just thought of as nuts and people said these higher letoffs (even 65% were going to ruin archery season). And here you are touting an easy to pull back compound bow telling us that crossbows ruin archery season. What you are doing is trying to limit what everyone else can do. Not everyone has the time to practice - a compound bow takes much more practice than a crossbow. Not everyone has the same physical abilities - think of older guys, think of guys who have bad shoulders - like myself. You are going to tell me I can't hunt archery anymore cause I use a crossbow, even though I might mess my shoulders up by still trying to shoot a compound bow? Really? Come on man. As hunters we need to stick together and allow each person to use whatever weapon they are capable and comfortable with as long as it is legal. I have been hunting my whole life and I see no evidence to show how crossbows ruined archery season for anyone. If anything, they brought more people in to the sport of hunting which is in fact what we need.

@BooneDownSouth There's a huge advantage between drawing a bow and pulling a trigger,there should be a seperate season for them.

There is an advantage no doubt, but there is absolutely no evidence showing any detriment to allowing crossbows during archery season that I have seen. On the contrary there are a lot of reasons to allow them during archery season. We will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

​@@laurelhighlandoutdoors3257 You need to get a life. How dare you try to tell me I shouldn't use a crossbow. I have used both, and I hate to tell you, but it's not that easy with a crossbow bud

@jonathanyates5198 It is easier to use a crossbow that's why alot of people went to one.They belong in there own season.
