Gurl got it. and she all way out bolts and too hard for her.. she not going shoot it! keep fingers crossed.. ooh pray 4 me- brother went spear fish and thought i was nice fat 1.. i will shoot fish from land now!

    • @cariboumediaoutdoors

    I’m wondering why measuring the arms span when you can easily divide your height with 2,5 and your done.
    Arm’s span almost always equals height, try it out…get to a wall and touch floor with fingers of one hand then expand your other hand along the wall straight up as high possible while still touching the floor with the other hand, maybe someone can watch your shoulders to be in line with your arms, mark your upper fingers and stand up to the mark, you’ll se that you’ll fit right in.

    • @nebulaM16
      @nebulaM16 Год назад +1

      I figured out why this doesn’t apply for USA.
      It’s because of the metrics system.
      Your reading for heights is expressed in feet’s and inches due to imperial measurements system.
      Now I’m from Slovenia Europe and we use only centimeters for the height measuring.
      You have to convert your height into inches only then divide by 2,5.
