David your left handed and you shoot bow right handed, and from what i remember your right eye dominant which in the case of a bow would make sense shooting right handed. Although you shoot a pistol left handed. dose that pose you to make any adjustments. just wondering

[wildernessoutfitters]

No because when you shoot a gun you close one eye so dominacy does not matter.

[luvu2luvme]

dave what bow do you suggest for a beginner

[wildernessoutfitters]

Long Bow-Fred Bear Montanna

Recurve-Martin XD 200

I have a ton of artificial sinew can this be done with that or do you have to have bow string? And could I use the same sinew to serve the bow once I'm done? If not is there another method that works better with sinew? Thank you for all your videos they are REAL life savers!!

@mryellow123 sorry i didnt get back to you, didnt see your comment in my inbox. I would pretty much be screwed, last time someone snapped my picture, i flew backwards like a gremlin. I could only imagine what would happen if i had my full on night vision and something like that happened. I dont care to find out either.

[kaldicuct]

@mryellow123 correct, you gotta warn me before taking a pic, otherwise i fly backwards like a gremlin :P

[mryellow123]

@kaldicuct oh and I had it backwards... not so much night vision, as being stunned by the brightness when your closed eye opens into full daylight.

[mryellow123]

@kaldicuct long as your pupils are moving, closing an eye will have an effect but yeah sounds like yours are pretty responsive. Don't know the exact details but there is the whole "cones and rods" cells, I believe the black/white ones (rods) are more sensitive, maybe you have more then "most" people. There is also the micro-movements of the eye which spread the light over a bunch of cells, while the brain then holds the image in place, which is why we can see things which aren't moving.

@mryellow123 it takes the average person like 45 min to get their night vision last i read about it, takes me about 5 or 10. i dunno if its really IR but its sorta like those night vision scopes on the hunting channel, those green tinted ones. only grey and a bit darker. but yes my eyes dilate.

[mryellow123]

@kaldicuct Interesting, had heard of people with more UV spectrum but not so much IR. Your pupils still dilate though right?

[kaldicuct]

@mryellow123 I see in the dark, acute infared. nothing like a rattlesnake, its sorta like Riddick from pitch black, but grey. so i dont think thatll be an issue.

[mryellow123]

@kaldicuct Some are taught to keep both eyes open and use the dominant. Benefits include situational awareness and not messing with your night vision.
