Making an Archery Target and Setting Up a Practice Range at my Off Grid Bushcraft Camp

[@duncansbuddy]

Watching Shawn's episodes on the weekend soothes the soul after a long week.

[@SJones-pr7tq]

You produce such beautiful and moving videos. They take us to a quiet and peaceful place and time. Thank you for sharing your amazing and enchanted world with us.🌲

I really enjoyed archery as a kid - the local YMCA held a summer day camp for the local children, me, my brother and cousin were enrolled every summer from age 6 through 12, we learned to swim and how to rescue, play "capture the flag", archery, arts&crafts, wood carving - with knives (haha), how to build a fire and cook on it, field trips to all the amusement parks in the area, wonderful time and a part of my childhood that will stay with me forever, this was from 1965 to early 70's. Archery time was my favorite, imagine a bunch of 7-12yr olds with bows and arrows and there wasn't a single bad moment in all the years we attended this camp. Such a great time.

Being able to take my children out to experience real life is a life goal .. thanks for sharing the sweeter part of this for motivation. Also the wooden roof tiles were a very nice touch .. i haven't seen that before

[@rickf.9253]

I'm enjoying seeing you build some things again.

[@tedbryer2512]

Hi Shawn - having a practice range is a real plus! I am a archer also that moved to Perth Ont.. 5 years ago. Most ranges around here are an hour to two hours away. I build a back stop I could move around as I like to shoot long distances. I bought a couple of target bags and filled them with plastic bags and old dog food bags. Even old tarps with brass ferrels removed work also. I have to practice so this is what I use. Place is looking good! I am 76 years old and have to keep in shape. Have a great weekend everybody!!

[@Olgerd23]

Hello Shawn! I recently came across your videos on KZbin and I will tell you, I am honestly very impressed by your skills and love for nature. I am from Ukraine, Russian bandits are not far away, when they shoot at us, it is very hard mentally and emotionally on the heart when this happens. I start watching your videos with Cali, they are like relaxation for me. Thank you very much. Thank you.

[@Martin_HD28]

I literally had chills running up and down my spine after the 19:00 mark. Father, daughter, hauntingly beautiful music and scenery and incredible videography. WOW!

[@rebeccamercer4160]

Hi Shawn I don’t know how far you are from the horrible land slide in Canada but my prayers are with you and your family family and all the people in Canada! Take care and be safe!🧚🏻🧚🏻🧚🏻❤️

[@hanneken4026]

I love the animals and beautiful nature views at the end.

[@skruloos1]

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thanks for filming Shawn. 😁👍🏼

[@DavidJones-ly9bh]

[@jackkeeble9272]

Thank you so much for the scenery love it.

[@Esoj.]

You know it’s too hot outside when something like this 6:04 happens, been there 😂. Thank you for the video, it was nice to see you take a trip w Emily again, have a good weekend & take care.

[@paulinemann960]

I’m so jealous to be honest. I’d love this life.

[@calholli]

For filling post holes like that.. You can actually mix a lot of dirt into the concrete and it will still get quite hard and stay solid.. Like you could put 60% dirt in the concrete mix and fill that around the posts.. and make your concrete go a lot further. It's particularly useful for filling holes, since it has the dirt around it anyway, so it doesn't need to be super structural.

[@1sanchez684]

They way Cali was looking at the deer like make a move mr.

[@straubdavid9]

11:07 .... 1st shed of the season? 🦌🤣Love this vid .... especially the drone and wildlife footage. Spent many days paddling🛶on lazy rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds .... the serenity was priceless👍🏻✌🏻 Take care you guys🦮🦌🐻🐿🏹🛶

What creativity, awesome! 👏👏👏🤩🤩🤩💯💯💯

[@Lee-qp6gf]

LOL, I built one of those for my bales at my cabin. Used shingles instead of shakes. It lasted a very long time. I had my bales turned face side out. Nice compound.

Молодец Индиана Джонс, красавчик!

[@southernbelle6108]

I hope Kelly is okay. I didn't see her in the Canoe. And y'all usually take her. Beautiful scenery

[@ws775]

Actually it looks like this is at the homestead which is what was said in the last Our Self Reliance video. The workshop is there on the property with the house which is partly on grid.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Shawn . 🐺Loupis Canis .

[@garrycarlyle4429]

Good skills with a bow im in nz my sons bow hunt and have several methods including tree hides on trails and clearings one son has a sleeping bag with straps he hangs up a tree but different angles shooting down for a heart shot. Ive followed you for many years keep up the good work m8

[@lucascady4992]

I plan on going back to Long Bow this season, I have harvested many deer with a Compound, a few with a Crossbow.. I feel like it's time to get back my Roots, and shoot something I started with, No sights, no letoff, just pure stick and string! 😊😊😊

[@timmylittle2406]

That place is so beautiful

[@elrenso]

You’re beautiful soul Shawn James ❤

[@HackHunter1835]

Shawn you're looking ripped my friend. The Keto diet has helped me drop bf% Cutting down on the potato's worked for me. It never gets old watching you build things.

[@ericeverson5956]

Beautiful & sad at the same time. Thank you, Sir. Peace soon. Out.

[@domdom-dr2wx]

Nice James😊

[@chack1965]

Красота!) Спасибо.

[@thebrownthomascrown917]

This..among others is something I miss when I traded in the house for condo-life...used to go out there with the sir rifle or bow and blow off an hour or two shooting at targets

[@shaolindreams]

Cool project... Good for fun and actual practice.. never know when you might need to use the bow for hunting.

[@remystraub6990]

merci JAMES

[@DorisGronewold]

I know absolutely nothing about archery, but sounds intriguing. I shot my first deer with a good old British 303. One shot from a distance on a second hill to the head. Quite a distance. Decent tasting deer. All very interesting my friend.

[@LiriaTorquato]

Sou brasileira e moro em Orlando adoro seus vídeos

[@brendad585]

Your corner looks very good.👍

[@scottwhite6040]

Beautiful

[@irishheart4768]

Hello Shawn, I have watched your channels for years. Always something interesting, but do you think there will ever be a time that the work will be done and you can enjoy your relaxation time at the homestead. God bless stay safe n well. 😊

[@kenadams5504]

I've never seen anyone enjoy hard work as much , and produce so much from that labour .

[@GoatPeak]

Nice!

[@suseyq4559]

Your videos continue to be incredible. Thank you.

[@vidanov-2023]

Thanks for motivation. 💯❤

[@MichaelDeClerck-l5z]

The breadth of your videos is truly amazing. I have followed you "religiously" since day one, and am still transfixed with each new adventure. So glad to see Emily out enjoying your world. Beautiful scenery and wild life shots. Give the one and only CALI a BIG SMOOCH from Mike & Ronnie. God Bless

[@AlexejSvirid]

The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why liers and murderers feel good while righteous persons are persecuted. This is the reason why Hitler got the power, but Christ was executed as "blasphemer" and "rioter" by denunciation of clergy. This is the reason why the whole world is Sodom. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our loved ones again! :-)

Your a regular Robinson Crusoe, is a shoot range next? It's the middle summer and no fishing trip, dump in digging and get the rod and reel.

[@wobdeehomestead]

Yay I like the wilderness Shawn! Too much gardening lately.

[@ctgarrison6039]

I was just wondering if there are many snakes in your area. I have a cabin in the mountains and we see black snakes, rattlesnakes and some copperheads. You have a very nice cabin there, would love to have one like that and enjoy you videos.

[@noiseosoutros]

Thank you my friend very good.

[@dottiehildebrand3123]

Hello Shawn., You are turning your compound in your place... Firewood storage , and now target range .. That's a plus.. God bless..Be safe..PRAY ON!!!🌹🙏❤️

[@TheTruthlady]

Peace 😊

[@misupercooner]

Awesome range!!

[@Zico7878]

Shawn's channel is like a cross-section of the evolution itself. At first you need to grind for a looong time to create foundations, mechanisms for everyday living, learning how to do stuff along the process. Now he's just enjoying himself, hopefully creating abundance for himself and his family.

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Beautiful!

[@Hamada2-v3i]

رائع

[@scottanderson2980]

mabe you could show Russel how to hunt lol as if that were posible

[@BrianBigfootBeliever]

Hey Shawn, Have you guys ever seen, or had any reports of Bigfoot or Sasquatch sightings up there. Just wondering. I love the topic of Cryptozoology of the creature. Besides the subject of the Hairy Man. I love watching your videos. You are a True Mountain Man with your building skills.

[@SomewhereInYorkshire]

Can someone please tell me the piano version of the tune at the end. It’s Coldplay but not sure of song or the instrumental version. Many thanks.
