So you call yourself a sportsman, huh?  Have you ever been bowfishing? Go ahead and put your compound in storage and pick up this recurve.

The Sand Shark was built-tough with laminated Maple/Purple Heart wood construction.  It features a heavy-duty sight, stabilizer and plunger bushings that are threaded and epoxied into the riser.

Let’s move on to the best part, the gear!  The Sand Shark is outfitted with all the top of the line find ’em and catch ’em gear: Light-Stryke Laser Sight, AMS Retriever Pro, Hydro-Glide Arrow Rest, Hydro-Shot Finger Savers, Fin-Finder String Silencers.

If you are new to bowfishing here are a few tips I have picked up:

• Think about where the sun is before heading out on the lake or pond.  The worse the glare is, the harder it will be for you to see the fish.  You may want to consider getting a good pair of polarized sunglasses.
• I prefer fishing at night.  The OMP Light Stryke Laser helps you aim and shoot with accuracy in the daytime or at night.  Spotlights can also be used in conjunction with the Light Stryke Laser.
• When aiming at a fish, aim low…then a little lower.  The distance of the fish that you see at the surface is distorted through the water.  I usually go with aiming 6 inches – 1 foot below the fish as my ‘rule of thumb’ but you always need to factor in how deep the fish is to determine how much you need to compensate.  Bowfishing is a skill that you can continuously improve upon.

Spring is here and summer is on it’s way.  Now is the time to pick up your fully loaded Sand Shark Bowfishing bow.

There is something about have your own flock of Chickens that does the family good.  You can get quite a bit of enjoyment from raising your flock not to mention the fresh eggs you get along with a supply of fresh meat if you decide to.  You can use the flock to teach responsibilities to young members of your family.  From taken daily care of the flock to raising 4-H projects for the fair.  Rural King has all your needs for starting and taken care of your flock.  Your local store has several different breed on hand plus you can always order exotic breeds for 4-H projects.  We carry Starter Feed, Layer Crumbles along with many other feeds or treats.

When starting your flock, remember to keep your Chicks at the proper temperature. Chicks need to be at 90 to 100 degrees for the first week.  You can drop the temperature 5 degree each week until the chicks are 6 to 8 weeks old.  You can tell if the area is too cold or too warm by watching your chicks.  If your chicks are grouped closely together under the light, then it is too cold.  If the chicks are spread out unevenly trying to get a way from the light it is too hot.  If the Chicks are spread out even within their area, then the temperature is just right.  Remember Goldilock’s when it comes to your chicks, not too cold, not too hot but just right.  You can get everything you need from Brooder Lamps, Heat Bulbs, Feed, Waterers and Feeders at your local Rural King.
