First Lite Source Jacket Review | After A Full Year!
This has become my absolute favorite hunting jacket, and this review of the First Lite Source Jacket was done after hunting deer, ducks, turkeys, crows, and more over the course of an entire year. This is a lightweight quiet puffy jacket with a very high warmth to weight ratio thanks to PrimaLoft insulation and some amazing fabrics. It is very versatile and works good as wind resistant outer layer and a highly insulating mid layer. I have hunted in this jacket extensively in all weather conditions and I will go over both the pros and cons to this excellent hunting jacket.

The First Lite Source Jacket is an excellent piece of gear without of lot of great features such as a good comfortable neck fit, thumb loops, great zippers, perfect fit, it is packable, evaporates moisture, stays warm when wet, has a great camouflage pattern, has a DWR finish to repel initial precipitation, is wind resistant but breathable, has a harness pass through on the back if you are hunting in a tree stand, and is very quiet for stalking or archery hunting. #huntinggear #deerhunting #duckhunting

The #1 Problem Holding Hunters Back
zhlédnutí 1KPřed 19 hodinami
There is a common problem faced by deer hunters, waterfowl hunters, turkey hunters and upland game hunters alike along with all others that hinders them from become great hunters. People often believe they are more successful, more accurate, or more effective than they really are. Pride blinds us and keeps from recognizing the truth about our skills so we can work diligently to improve them. Bu...
How To Match Bird Hunting Ammo To Target Loads
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 14 dny
How can you get your duck hunting ammo to pattern like your sporting clays loads? If your hunting shotgun ammo has similar pattern distribution to your target ammo, your sporting clays, trap, or skeet practice will better equip you to more effectively hunt ducks, geese, pheasants, doves, grouse, crows and much more. I demonstrate a process for testing your hunting ammo and choke tubes to find a...
The Danger Of Being A Squib Load In Life

A squib load is a round that does not have enough power to make it out of a gun barrel and can lead to serious problems. Likewise, many people are living life below their potential without enough power to make it through and can end up with bad problems. Some squib rounds are avoidable, others fixable with prompt attention. The same is true in life, some bad situations are avoidable, others mor...
Same Choke, Same Ammo, Different Gun Pattern Test | BOSS + Black Cloud

How much does each individual shotgun affect patterning? I pattern tested two different shotguns using the exact same Carlson's extra full choke tube, and the exact same ammunition to see if the shotguns produced different patterns.

5 Reasons Semi-Auto Shotguns Are Best For Hunting

Are semi-automatic shotguns best for hunting? I cover five major benefits of autoloaders for hunting everything from turkeys to ducks, geese, pheasants, doves, and more. Autoloaders have distinct advantages over pump shotguns, over-unders, and side-by-sides because they reduce felt recoil, have faster reloading, require one less skill to master, are more versatile prone & with a rest, and give ...

Do Tighter Choke Tubes Increase Recoil? TESTED
zhlédnutí 1,5KPřed měsícem
Do tight choke tubes cause more felt recoil than open choke tubes? I test a cylinder choke against a super tight turkey choke with a recoil sensor to see if there is a difference. The tighter choke did indeed produce a little tiny bit more measurable recoil which was possibly noticeable to the shooter. This means very little for hunters, as you would not realistically hunt things where such a d...

Is Your Turkey Choke Too Tight? TESTED Short + Long Range
zhlédnutí 4,1KPřed 2 měsíci
Does your turkey ammo pattern too tight? Turkey hunters usually aim for the tightest possible choke to get maximum pattern density at 40 or 50 yards but that is causing hunters to miss turkeys at short ranges because the patterns have no margin of error. Here I test BOSS Tom TSS at 20 yards and 50 yards with Muller Decoy, Passing, and UFO chokes. The results are surprising, for hunting over dec...

    @Snailz5 Před 3 dny

    I think you missed the key point of explaining the boiler room. The front half of the lungs (front of the shoulder crease) has many more major vessels than the back half. Aim in the center of the vital V and you can impact several inches in any direction and you’re still hitting vital tissues. I think not discussing the high shoulder shot is another omission as it’s a way more used target than head shots (in the US at least). Neck shots don’t need to hit the spine to kill, but you want a fairly violent expansion such that the CNS is shocked and you tear major vessels. They lose enough blood that they typically don’t get up after being stunned and dropping.

    @KinetikES Před 3 dny

    Is there a real world advantage for the mixed 3&5 shot? Or is it an unnecessary compromise that looses on both fronts? I.e. Not enough 3 to really be effective at long range or bigger birds or too much for smaller birds at close range (blow them to bits). I’m a newbie and trying to figure out a good “beginner” do-it-all (I know that’s not really possible) shell. Something to begin with and start patterning etc. thanks for the content!

    • @TheNewHuntersGuide
      @TheNewHuntersGuide Před 3 dny

      In my testing I find it performs almost the same as #4, except it patterns better in my gun. Alot better. That's the main reason I use it. Does it pattern better in everyone's gun? I doubt it. But that's why we test. In terms of ballistic effectiveness, it's almost the same as 4s.

    FYI, I just bought a Benelli Super Black Eagle 3. In the manual it says the following: "WARNING: when your shotgun is new and before beginning to use it normally, a breaking-in period may be required before your new gun works perfectly with light target loads. If you experience any initial functioning problems, we recommended firing three or four boxes of standard hunting cartridges."

  • @JefferyWoodcock
    @JefferyWoodcock Před 5 dny

    The way ammo companies look at it is 1 or 2 percent being slightly irregular is acceptable based on the total amount of shot in the shell. If ammo companies took the time and labor and machine cost to make each one perfect, they would have to pass the extra cost on to the consumers.

  • @JefferyWoodcock
    @JefferyWoodcock Před 5 dny

    I learned many years ago that shotshell ammo companies put whatever falls from the shot tower in the shell. All shells, not just water fowl. Simply because the consumer can't see it. Logically when you buy shot, it's all polished and pretty.

  • @JefferyWoodcock
    @JefferyWoodcock Před 5 dny

    Man you really hit it on the head this time. I cut open a Remington 410 -3" #4 shot. I was gray and dusty. The nastiest looking trash I ever saw. I bought a bag of number 4 and it was perfect, round and polished and really nice. I guess it's all a matter of profit margins. Getting rid of otherwise unsellabe kull.

    This is a bit like fly fishing. At one time there were only books, so there could be excuses for thrashing the water. Then dvd's. Now CZcams so there are NO excuses. But they still go out there without a clue-because some cannot learn no matter what. In deer, turkey or wildfowl shooting there again there are those who just 'blast' away having done little target or test shooting. And once you do aquire any skills do everthing with comfidence and with expectations of success not just hoping! And relax don't tense up. And you must try to pass these skills on.
