[@Suttonc70]

Love how been nodded when you said are coming out to check the bow!!!! That’s was super cute!!!

[@chadbooth4371]

You probably already know this, but going up in arrow weight will make your bow quieter. I shoot 650gr to 750gr arrows out of my recurves, and longbows. I shot a 550gr arrow with my recurve the other day, and GOOD LORD did that thing sound loud! Another thing that can make a huge difference in the sound of a trad bow, is the string. Obviously different materials, but also thickness, will make a huge difference. Love the traditional archery content!

[@davidblalack5015]

Yes, you are absolutely right! I recommend flemish twist strings

[@stonehorn4641]

Yup. I don't do a lot of trad nowadays, but thr rule is the same with any bow. My carbon Elevate is shooting 655 grain arrows @ 80lb, and it's a bear slayer. Quiet and deadly.

Listen to the crows when they are that wound up. Possibly because of the coyote but if real close it might be for you. Something else to tune in. Great stuff. God bless all here.

Don't know if anyone else beat me to these comments/suggestions but putting them out there. Awesome that you at least scared coyote off guessing it headed back towards it's den. You should fly a drone out to where you last saw blood and have a look around, I realize there is a lot of tree's it could've hid under but couldn't hurt. Also ultraviolet light for tracking blood can't hurt. Love learning/watching the bow builds I don't have the craftsmanship to be able to do it so it's awesome to watch you do it. Thanks ans keep up the good work

I would suggest you reconsider your ammo choice for coyotes. I have a .25 Condor too and it is my go to airgun for medium size game like a coyote or racoon. I have my Condor tuned to shoot 43.5gr NSA slugs at 960fps, almost 90 fpe. Pellets are not the best choice for something as big as a coyote.

[@stonehorn4641]

Honestly, baiting is the best way to deal with coyotes. We have a lot up here in Canada. I sold 75 furs last winter between baiting and trapping. Ive killed about 400 in the last 7 years, and our dwindling deer population bounced right back. When we gut our pigs, you can be sure to kill 8 to 10 in an evening, especially if the ground is frozen. Surprising how many coyotes can live on 415 acres.

[@caracarametal]

What brand blind is that?

[@travislangston5705]

I shot a hog in the snout once and blew his jawbone off. Similar reaction as far as the yelping goes. He left a good blood trail for a while and then it slowed after a while. I found about a 2 inch section of lower jaw, so I figured he was as good as dead.

[@tatertots-n-soup]

Get a zebra dual twist string it is a zero stress string and should not bind the imaginary draw arc plane. Put string savers by limbsavers between the two diffrent colored strings(up to four) or just split a string with a dull flat wedge(called a string seperator) and place them far enough apart to dampen the length of the string. The 1 2 or 3 nocks in the center will dampen that. Youll have to move them around trial and error. You might beable to rent a bd meter for a day locally. This testing is why a bow press is a nessesity for a compound. Or two speed balls or speed nocks(1 each end) might be the better option. then string savers may or may not make any more of a difference. Moving them around will make speed and noise differences. Buy a chronograph. So you know what speed diffence its making. Maybe upto 15fps, but you sure dont want to slow it down 20fps. towards the outside can have a big effect too. but get rid of the fuzzy string. Sorry mann but its not going to get quite. Altho you have to wax it. It didnt look waxed. Heat up the end of your wax tube with lighter and then rub the end of the melted stick on the string and use wax paper or use fingers/ nitrile gloves to rub it in completely while melted. Reheat every few inches. Plan 30 minutes to do it right. That said becareful could get glass slivers from some strings. That is not wanted in the woods with your sensitive trig finger. Never apply heat directly to the string. Dont care what anyone says. You dont want the strands to be unevenly conditioned, melted, shrunk, dried, tightened or damaged. Then add four more limb savers to the otter limbs 2.5 - 3 inches apart two on both ends. You can put them on the front side if they are going to hit the string after the shot reflexes. Put adhesive felt or adhesive whisper quite/mole skin material all over the entire arrow rest area. I currently have vibe stop smeared all over mine. 2 little layers produce the same results. Trim the snot out of your feathers(totally arguible). So not to hit excessively. Feathers fold back and collapse blah blah blah. Its still noise when they hit the rest and collapse against the shaft. Altho will a 30yrd deer hear that? You can always squeeze it(riser) as hard as you can with a death grip while firing and it will be quiter and faster. Try it. Is there a rubber grip on it? You could use vibra stop to paint a design to help it look more traditional. It used to come a color that dried clear also black. Paint it on as thick as it will heave, maybe 2 coats. Ummmmm.. potentially the more wieght you add to the string. The slower it is going to shoot. But a wieghtless string is going to be unstable and vibrate. Some wieght is going to tame it and make it slippery smooth. Goodluck

[@tatertots-n-soup]

¹the Zebra zero twist is a super strong string. The whole point was to beable to use a smaller diameter to slip thru the wind. ² the material for the rest is call whisper quite or mole skin and should come with a very strong glue already on it.

[@tatertots-n-soup]

Another advantage is low stretch to break it in. And further more as it does stretch over time a reg string twists in one direction needing the nok guide and the peep sight to be turned every 50-75 shots. One the noisiest things on a bow is a shock tube to algin the thru-style peep sight. Get rid of it get a string that is twisted in opposite directions and a release that uses a speed ball with nok aligner. Or just have to finikely adjust the strands around the peep ever once in a great while.

[@tatertots-n-soup]

It is also arguible if you want extra twist in the string to counter releasing with fingers.

[@Tbowie13]

Not bad blood for a pellet rifle shot. Coyotes can be pretty tough though, that's why I like a suppressed. 22-250 or .223, that hydrostatic shock explodes their ❤️ and 🫁 and they drop. Not sure your neighbor situation though, so maybe you can't do that, even if it is suppressed. *edit...BTW, I wish I knew more about tillering and sound, but I do know from shooting plenty of trad bows, the ones that are very evenly tillered sound much better. I think the resonance of the bow plays a huge part in sound. Have you considered trying a reversed angled bow, like a slight recurve and thinning the wood out more? Obviously you'd need to sinew back it to do that, but it's a thought. Good luck man!

[@robertevans8024]

[@jacoblawrence1124]

I tried a head shot on a fox once, it bled like the coyote you were tracking, I never found it either. my thoughts are that it was a mouth hit, bleeds a lot but eventually the animal starts swallowing most of the blood.

[@robertevans8024]

You downed that deer when that top arrow severed it's spinal cord. 😂

[@bowsandbeards]

you can take and put some kind of fur under the string where it the string touches the bow after the bow is strung up. That is what was put on my long bow when i had it and i took the pop sound out of it. Hopefully this helps. happy hunting bud.

[@bowsandbeards]

basically what i can hear is happening is when you release the arrow, even though it doesnt seem that it would do so, it is slapping the back of the bow. This is exactly what my longbow was doing when i first got it. so i stuck some beaver hide to the back of the bow under where the string would be slapping and it helped a lot.

[@tatertots-n-soup]

That is another great spot to use anti-vibe. Actually now I think recalling the name to be Vibe-stop

You should wait at least 30 minutes to let it die. There is a higher likelihood it will lay down and bleed out that way. 150 yards isn’t that far either, especially if you walk after it and bump it.

With that much blood loss I can almost guarantee that you won't see it again. A wounded animal can get turned around and do crazy things when fear and an injury come into play. Rational thinking is usually the furthest thing from their minds. I shot one and it howled out for a good 60-90 seconds it ran and then went across a fairly deep moving river and I wouldn't have found it then if I hadn't seen another coyote eating on it's buddy.

Pellet guns are not ideal for anything bigger than a raccoon unless you’ve messed around with it and it’s shooting like a .22lr, people take pigs and deer with pellet guns but they’re tuned to hell, get a suppressed .22lr or something similar and use subsonic loads it’ll be quieter than your pellet gun and pack more of a punch at medium to close range, coyotes and foxes are hard as f**k if you don’t hit brain on a headshot they’ll live

You were shooting at a downward angle towards a critter that was looking up at you, given that geometry, and the angle of the critters skull, I think that it's highly likely that the pellet glanced off its skull instead of penetrating it leaving a nasty graze wound which like all head wounds no matter the critter, bled pretty well, leaving a trail until it started to clot, it's most likely not dead,but I think it will leave the chickens well enough alone for a while, it's angles like this that causes bullets to bounce off car windshields, and wind up god knows where, which is why most police department policies forbid shooting at or into vehicles.
