Do they really work

seankb · 08-19-2009, 07:04 AM

I recently purchased the anti uv soap and spray. And I was wondering if anyone knew if they worked or not, also have been thinking about buying one of the ozone machines, could anyone lead me in the right direction on which brand and if they work or not

I presume that you mean the Atsko SPortwash/UV Killer Combo Pack. Yes, both products work as advertised. I've used Sportwash for years because it kills odor better than any I've tried, and leaves no brighteners behind. I tested the UV Killer on a Hardwoods snow camo set, and some blaze orange items, it completely blocked the uv "glow" on both. The snow camo was a full synthetic material(very tough to get complete coverage, took an entire bottle), the rest were cotton or poly/cotton. The blacklight showed no uv relected after treatment. I also accidentally discovered that a Nat Gear shirt that I had purchased from bass Pro Shops recently glowed like neon, it got treated too. Blacklight your intended items before treating them, sometimes it isn't needed.

Did you get the Sports Wash soap and Spray? I just picked some of this up a couple of weeks ago, but have yet to use it. I hope it works. Did you get the kit where you got the DVD with it? That DVD has some very interesting stuff in it.

Looks like Kevin pretty well covered the UV part of your question.

About the ozone machines. Check out http://www.ozonicshunting.com/. A buddy of mine shoots for Wild Outdoors and I was told that all of Jay's shooters has one of these in the tree with them. While I have never used one, my buddy has told me they work great. However, these are pretty expensive toys and I cannot imagine me owning one until the price drops into the poor man's range.

Yes that is the combo I got. It was very intresting!! I feel like I learn something new every day.

Also thank you I never thought about useing a blacklight to see if it works.

And the ozone product I was looking at was ozonic I think they ran about $300 and you would put it in a closet or something to that nature. I did read a little about the one you bring in the tree with you, and I agree very pricey. Don't think I can afford that one quite yet.

Another question I had was about papper sighting how far away from the target should the papper be, and how far from the paper should I be.

All your help is very appreciated, I have just recently become very serious about my bow hunting and my hunting group is more into gun, although they do bow hunt I don't think they quite have that burnning desire for it. So this makes learning better techniques and improving my skills difficult seeing as I'm kinda flying solo. Thanks again

Yes it was the wash and spray combo. And that video was awsome never thought a deer could see that way.

Thank you never thought of useing a blacklight to test if they work or not. So now ill know before I go into the field if my clothing is completly covered.

Those machines are expensive the one I was looking at was the one that would go into your closet and run over night. I think it sold for around $300, but I have done some reading on the one you take to your stand and they are definetly out of my price range.

One othe question how do you go about papper sighting. Like how far away should the oapper be away from your target and how far away should you be from the papper. I have just recently started to take my bow hunting seriously and my hunting groub is mostly gun hunters, althought they bow hunt. I don't think they have that burning desire for it, so learning better techniques and tactics is difficult, I'm kinda doin it solo. So thank you all for your tips and advise

I am assuming you are talking about paper tuning. If that is the case, the paper only needs to be a few feet away to paper tune. However, paper tuning in only the very start of the tuning process.

I would suggest you spend some time googling bow tuning, as there are a ton of sites out there that provide some really good information.
