our season isnt so specific, september to february we get to hunt pretty mutch everything in any way. Exeptions are certain bird species wich have variable shorter seasons based on their migrations

sorry, i suck at making pictures while i work, tunnelvision. i straighten the spring, hammer in the seperation of socket and blade, then i hammer out the middle until its close to final thickness. Then i rough forge the blade until its just a single heat away from finished. then i hammer the...

should get to it tomorrow. I use coil springs from cars, the real trick is tuning the arrows to the bow. Its a real pain to make the shafts as any difference in wood is amplified by the head. Forged broadheads tend to be quite heavy compared to most modern machine made ones. My bows tend to be...

I Forge my own. wich reminds me i need to make some. Lost most of them last season. Will post pics when iam done. My whole setup is historical and DIY when it comes to bow hunting.

Is it bad to be jealous? man id do alot for a property like that

the kind they sell in my birthcountry is herbal and smells kinda funky. Suddenly gives the strang urge to spin a bob marley record. Never been my thing tho so iam not missing mutch. I prefer my guns and the two shouldnt mix anyway. Finland is probably the second easiest country to get a legal...

i could argue the same for Finland tho but for different reasons. Now if you implemented everymans right i would move tomorrow. Over here guns are lightly restricted by EU standards, everyone i know in my community owns a gun of some sort. Specifically concealable weapons and autoloading are...

i wish i could own even a single one. Handguns are a nono here, at least for hunters. Would need to spend 5 years competition shooting with a loaner or join the military reserves wich is not going to happen due to my not entirely Finnish birth status.

When it comes to drillings maybe a blessing you never bought one, they are an addiction. Start off with a 16g/8mm, nice and versatile. Next you will find a scoped 16g choked mod and full with a 6.5x68mm barrel and think to yourself "hell that would be nice to have for the mountains" next you...

well, any drilling is a high end gun really. Think of them as artisan items. They are like a double rifle with extra complexity. 12 over 7mm tends to be made to order for americans, often those stationed in west germany. 16g is the standard on most drillings because its already a heavy weapon...

same here. I do all my precision work with a Sako l61r in 30-06 or CZ550 in 6.5x55 with a big can

The cock on close to me is a superior system but then alot is personal preference. If you are used to them they make the cycling extremely fast. On a good condition spring they eject casings by themselves, just lift the bolt and the spring does the rest, then just slam it back forward. I have...

This is what they do to invasive pests (30-06)

its possible, seems counterintuitive given the velocity, however i could imagine the hollowpoint might get plugged up with hair and such more easily. Never had anything but impressive results from the .30 version but the 222 family from Fox is a bit new on the block. They first focussed on 6mm...

Fox classic hunter. they certainly arent early design. They are very popular with professional stalkers in the UK.
