Bow Adventures Fall 2012

normally practice between 40-60 yards and move out to 80 as well. I could not video from my phone well at those distances. I attempted to, but it was a waste of time as you couldn’t view the target well enough. Here I was set up at 100 yards. The one thing I did notice, which I have found with many camera mounts for your bow, is that you can see some degree of vibration in the video while filming. If you want to video your hunt it is something you will have to make peace with because it happens often. Something very cool to try that isn’t actually videoing your hunt is to Skype with someone while hunting. The person you are chatting with can view whatever you are shooting at, or if you reverse the camera they can view your reaction while you are hunting. I understand you want it to be quiet and the

person on the other end would have to be quiet, but it’s an interesting idea. My dad and I have discussed it and we are going to try it at some point for fun. Have any of you tried it? What were your results? The cost of the JackKnife is $44.99 retail. In my opinion that is very high. The entire camera mount is plastic and while it has moving parts that certainly have to be put together at the factory, I think this should retail more toward the $25.00 range. I think more bowhunters would consider something like this if the price were lower. BA
