A rookie hunter documenting my experience while learning how to hunt and track/find animals. My experience is the last 3 weeks of deer season in 2023 in alabama. Mostly hunting public property with hopes of private in the future. Follow me, grow with me, and help me learn what to do in the woods! Should be fun.
Range day FAIL!!! Budget 300 blackout goes horribly wrong!
I put together a budget 300 blackout rifle and it failed first day at the range.

Turkey scout trip at the beginning of March
Respect ✊🏿! Spend a few hours on RUclips. You’ll find all the info you need. I need to go shoot my .300 build.
Thanks! Still learning but I'll yet there
Rear iron is backwards, always keep your optic on the receiver (unless you have a monolithic upper like an LMT or something else). You ran less than a box of ammo and you're already making judgments on the longevity of the lower? Torque your handguard back to spec. This is a prime example of why cheap doesnt always make it worth it, even just to "try it out". Invest in your gear and it'll take care of you as it should.
You didn’t need to tell us it was your first build. We can tell lol
this is egregious even for a first time owner/builder. it's like people don't do even basic research before going hands on. dunning kruger a big problem in america.
Ruthless Reno 😂…lmao
Was it the 20” .300 black barrel that gave it away 😅😂
First thing I do before trying a new AR is to make sure that the handguard is lined up and tight before my first shot. I have seen many handguards come loose. Second thing is to never install an optic in the front rail especially in between the receiver and the barrel rail. I don't have any experience with the AR polymer lowers however, I feel much better using the aluminum lowers. I'm sure that after this experience, you will be fully prepared for your next range trip. Good luck and good shooting!
Thank you and I will be correcting these problems well before the next range trip or before building any others. Thanks!!
*Most sensible PSA owner*
I still have a plastic lower somewhere. I don't use it anymore but it held up for years. It cracked where the buffer tube retainer pin is but still worked. But yeah your gun is good. The hand guard is made to Come off easy. Just tighten the bolts
Good to know! Maybe ill do something with the others. Thanks for the view and you got a new sub!
@@TheRookiePredator you to brother
Should try to keep optic mount on upper only, hard to maintain zero with hand guard movement especially after what happened. Hope you get her fixed up.
Thanks! The optic will be moving back to the receiver. Lesson learned on my part
@@TheRookiePredator looking forward to part 2.
This is a troll post, right?? You're just trying to get a reaction out of people, correct? You intentionally put the optic on the handguard and moved the rear BUS up & turned it around backwards just to troll people, correct?
Nope, out here trying to learn. Thanks
I also thought this was bait
All good I had the handguard and trigger fall out of my 300blk build on its first range day. I was just too excited to go shoot and didnt torq everything I should have.
Glad I'm not the only one! Thanks for watching!
My 7.62x39 ar pistol had gas issues and i didn't want to deal with it so i sent it back to bear creek arsenal and im done with them. Ill shop at psa or delta team tactical for my budget uppers from here on out.
I'll keep that in mind for future builds. Thanks for watching!
Lol bro your optics placement is outing you as an absolute scrub. All love tho
It's all good, that's why I started the channel. I have no one to teach me so I'll let the internet tell me how to do it lol. Thanks for watching!
Your flips ups are on backwards. They’re supposed to flip up towards your barrel. Not towards you. Just a heads up. I think your red dot mount is as well. But I’d have to go look. That’s just off memory. Just trying to help brother. No hate
Thanks ill switch the flip ups. The red dot is mounted per the picture on the box hahaha so I hope that's correct
When test firing a brand new firearm, always start with a couple of mags that are only loaded with a single round. Not only is it a failsafe in case it goes full brrrt mode, but your bolt should also lock open on an empty mag and it's best to test that feature as soon as possible. Lastly, if for some reason it does fail catastrophically, at least you're not risking explosion with a full mag.
@@RichardCranium321 great advice
@@RichardCranium321good call, I will definitely do that in the future
My favorite thing about those turret covers is how Vortex will keep sending you new ones because you keep losing them.
Well well, this is my first vortex so I'm glad to know their customer service is on point!!!
This is one reason why u never put an optic on the rail. Keep the optic on the reciever.
Noted! Thanks for the advice!
@@TheRookiePredator probably just needs loctite, clean off the screws and dab blue loctite and let it sit 24 hours. Your dot placement is fine, that's the whole purpose of the rail. If it we're a scope it would be a different story. You have more field of view with the dot placed further from your eyes vs right on top of your eye ball your not seeing crap.
@@jknewb6276no, that is not the purpose of the fucking rail.
@@mw2277 oopsie, "the rail can be used for red dots or many other accessories but wasn't specifically made for red dots" There's your cookie
@@jknewb6276 no, the rail cannot be used for mounting optics unless it’s a monolithic upper.
That management area is crawling with Mr. Green Jeans
You need some orange bruh
Orange flag was on the back of the vest! Safety first!
Welcome to the life man its a blast. Just keep at it. Your stance need a little work lean a little forward but not your hips
Thank you and I will try that! I appreciate the tip
Try setting the trigger heavier so your brain knows its okay to rest your thumb on it without it going off so fast, then start squeezing. If you don't like it you can make it hot again.
ruclips.net/user/shortsUlr7I72fY7U?feature=share Thanks, I have taken this step since this video came put. It's working!
Punch it lol
What did I just watch!? Is that Captain Jack Arrow?
Thats good!!!!!!!
Very well said
Thanks!
Randomly stumbled across this video! Keep on practicing:) would recommend checking out Joel Turner from Shot IQ. You’ve got a gnarly trigger punch😅 get that in check and you’ll be smoking stuff all day every day
Thank you for checking out the channel!
You seem a bit unbalanced which is causing extra movement
Will work on it! Thanks
Amigo ten cuidado con la barba 😅
Thats how I keep ot trimmed!
More thumb wrestling get them stong thumb muscles
It drives me crazy how people see others using handheld realse aids and have no clue how there actually used
Trying to learn, everyone has to start somewhere.
You didn’t look anything like a fox!
I don't make up these names, the internet told me hahaha
This a joke or something?
Could try getting a little lower and bending your knees a bit for more even Ness and balance consistency
I will try thanks!
😊😊😊
As I continued watching I see that you are trying to wrap your thumb around the button like I said to do but you want it wrapped around prior to using back tension. So get it seated behind your thumb and then start pulling through your shot. That’s why setting the trigger colder will help you not accidentally set off the trigger. But all in all it’s definitely progress in the right direction 👍🏻 good job
Thank you for the continued coaching and help its highly appreciated. That's why I started this channel.
@@TheRookiePredator you bet! And that’s a very smart move. Watching yourself shoot will help drastically…whenever I get in a rut I start recording myself and can usually see some small changes in habits that I pick up
I know you said you’re pulling the bow apart but you want to do that slowly and evenly with your thumb deep behind the button and as you separate the bow it will fire. I know I told you to check out John dudley but you should also check out Joel Turner and his SHOT IQ process. It’s going to take some time to get it down just stick with it
You’ll get there! I think you’d really benefit from a hinge release to help you with proper back tension. You really gotta try to not move that thumb at all. Having that button set hot like that is just going to keep setting you up to punch the trigger. This might be something you want to work on next off season if you are accurate punching the trigger then go with that for this season but target panic is just going to get worse with time. Good luck this year 👍🏻
I can agree there. Im going to focus on slowing the thumb down and not ripping the bow apart. I never plan on taking a shot over 25-30 yards at most for this year. I would hate to wound anything. Next off season I can really focus and nail down a form or give a hinge a try.
Pleaseeeeeeee stop punching the trigger
ruclips.net/video/TsajMkbhrH4/видео.html Working on it! It's not perfect but I'm working on it. Thanks!
Blackout arrows are made by GoldTip for Bass Pro Shops
Thats what I read/was told. With how inconsistent I can still be, I'll save a few bucks no pun intended hahaha
Set that trigger really cold so it’s hard to set off. Wrap your thumb deep around the barrel and work on squeezing your shoulder blades together buy slowly pushing and pulling the bow apart. The shot will be a surprise and it’s supposed to
I do have it set hot, maybe I should try it cold I haven't really thought about that. When I practice tomorrow I'll give that a shot. Thank you very much!
Please check out my most recent video from a few minutes ago, I was pulling against the back wall very hard and trying to correct that as well
Try magnus broadheads! An even better fixed blade
I'll have to check em out!
How you gonna spend all that money on that release and not even use it properly! Come onnnnn
I really did not like the index and wanted something adjustable
If you shaft tune at 20 yards a bare shaft would fly straight
I'm positive you are correct. I need a bit more experience before I dive into that. This was just for curiosity. Thanks!
Joel Turner videos are excellent in explaining that. Helped me a bunch.
I'll check them out thank you!
As a competition shooter myself, please watch that beard. Trust me, it hurts when it gets caught in the string. Lol.
Noted! I did trim it down to a goatee because the sides were starting to get caught!
I like your setup, simple yet accurate and efficient.
Thanks! Have to start some where
@@TheRookiePredator Hey, I'm still using my old quest single cam bow 🤷🏼♂️ works great
I’ve tested this out with my bow. I found that the flight was only changed at 55 yards and out. At 45, the arrow flew poorly but still hit its mark. This being said, my fletching was not damaged the exact same way as yours so, the results may be different if you go out to further distances.
I did it bareshaft as well just to see how much fletching makes a difference. Being new to archery it's fun to try these things out!
4 blade Muzzy's are the way to go!
I'll have to check those out
@@TheRookiePredator when you set them orient the blades one set on the vertical with the bow string to keep them from planing.
Good luck this upcoming season. I'm new at this sport as well. It's a lot of fun. Enjoy the journey, man.
Good luck to you as well! It's definitely a steep learning curve but I'm hoping to get on some hogs and a deer!
@TheRookiePredator we're in Canada... so no hogs " thankfully," but whitetail starts in just under a month.
Got a month for small game and 2 for deer!
Should have used a better song.
Is that a whisker biscuit? Ever try a fall away rest? They are supposed to help with accuracy because nothing touches the arrow as it’s leaving the bow. Highly recommend 👍 🏹
Maybe next year, this is my first bow. Thank you for checking out the video!
If you do buy VAPORTRAIL ARROW RESTS I PROMISE THEY ARE THE KINGS
So glad i stay in Texas. I see so many states having a time when they can hunt hogs. Hogs are open season 365 days 24/7 here in Texas
Hogs are open 24/7 in Bama on private land. I only have public available to me right now so I have to wait until any other season opens up
@@TheRookiePredator here it doesn't matter private are public. We have so many its crazy.
@CowboyOutdoorz ill have to make a trip out one day. This is my first full season hunting. Just started last year but I'm into it.
@@TheRookiePredator nice its addictive especially if you bow hunting. Good luck this season. And if your coming from bama. Soon you cross over into Texas from Louisiana youll be in east texas. Its alot of hogs down there alot
@@TheRookiePredator also got a new subscriber. I see your videos your just getting into this
I do barebow, even at 50 meters distance of target, damage fletching doesn't really matter to me.
Surprising how much of a difference a tuned bow makes!
@@TheRookiePredator right.
May wanna change the name
Nah, I'll keep it. Thanks though
