By “zero” we simply mean that you must make sure the top dot or reticle is properly aligned for hitting targets from the 20 yard distance once you do this, the remaining dots and reticles will be automatically aligned for their respective distances. Your goal is to “zero” the top-most reticle or dot for a specific distance (20 yards in almost all cases unless instructed otherwise by the crossbow manufacturer). The basic procedure is exactly the same for any scope you get, although you should check out our best crossbow recommendations to make sure the scope that comes with your crossbow has decent optics. The exact procedure for sighting a crossbow will vary slightly from scope to scope, as different models can have somewhat different adjustment knobs. The process of sighting a crossbow is very easy, though if you’re a beginner who’s never done it before you might assume otherwise. Also, please see our arrow drop interactive chart to get a feel for how differences in arrow weight will impact trajectory. You will not be able to properly sight your crossbow if you aren’t capable of shooting tight groups of arrows from a 20 yard distance “tight groups” means that arrows should be landing very close to each other – a spot around 2-3 inches across – regardless of whether they are landing in the bulls-eye or not. ![]() ![]() Important Note: if you are a rank beginner, we strongly recommend that you shoot 50-100 arrows before attempting to sight your scope. ![]()

![]() One difference that might cause you troubles is that while you can spawn your program over multiple files, those files must all be in the same folder. Once you compile your sketch, the IDE will make sure the end result is a correct C++ program and will basically add the missing glue by preprocessing it.Įverything else is normal C++ code, and as C++ is a superset of C, any valid C is also valid Arduino code. We don’t have a main() function like you are used to in C/C++ as the entry point for a program.

Every forest branch moves differently in the breeze, but as they sway they connect at the roots.No one who loves the woods stays on the path.It is the place where you hear yourself better.

The most suitable materials for dog muzzles are leather, nylon, plastic and others. They are usually made with a strong buckle or other fastening device to ensure that they do not come off accidentally. Muzzles can also be used on racing dogs and working dogs (military, police, security, etc.). Muzzles are also used on dogs when there is a risk of them taking baits that have been laid for vermin. They can also be used on dogs who display aggression, whether motivated by excitement, fear, or prey drive.

The seventh and final series first aired on BBC2 in the UK from 8 December 1998 to 9 November 1999, and in Australia on the ABC from 15 July to 1 December 1999, for a total of 40 episodes. After nearly a year of repeats, 20 more episodes aired from 1 July to 8 September 1998. The first 20 episodes of series six aired on the ABC from 23 June to 28 August 1997. Series six marked the debut of Hartley Heights, the student's new school location. A new school year begins from the eighth episode onwards and continues in a floating timeline, with students in their last school year but not sitting for their HSC exams until midway through series seven (with over two years passing in real time). This series had the most significant cast change, with the majority of remaining cast members being phased out of the show within the first six episodes, and the show shifting focus from the Bordino family onto the Scheppers family. Series five first aired on BBC2 in the UK from 10 December 1996 to 14 October 1997, and in Australia on the ABC from 3 February 1997 to 19 June 1997, a total of 39 episodes. Although later (and international) airings of the episodes were screened in full, the show would continue to follow this soap opera formula in Australia when it was subsequently bought and revived by the ABC. ![]() Network Ten eventually aired these episodes to meet their local drama quota in a late night timeslot from 5 August 1996 to 11 November 1996, splitting the 45-minute episodes into 23-minute parts, allowing two episodes to be aired weekly across four nights (Mondays to Thursdays). They aired the first thirteen episodes in the UK from 26 March 1996 to 16 June 1996, then thirteen more episodes from 3 September 1996 to 3 December 1996. The show was axed after two years on Network Ten, however 26 more episodes were subsequently produced with funding from BBC2. A third series of 13 episodes premiered on 20 August 1995.

Jenkins and producer Ben Gannon developed Heartbreak High as a spin-off of the film, with several cast members reprising their roles, reimagined in a Sydney setting. The play was first performed by the Griffin Theatre Company at the Stables Theatre in Darlinghurst, New South Wales, and adapted into the 1993 film The Heartbreak Kid, directed by Michael Jenkins and filmed in the inner suburb of Prahran, Victoria. The play centered on Papa, a 22-year-old Greek-Australian teacher at an inner city school, who has an affair with her student, Nicky, and explored the restrictiveness of Greek culture, as well as racial tensions within Australian society. Heartbreak High had its origins in the 1987 stage play, The Heartbreak Kid, written by Richard Barrett and starring Gia Carides and Arky Michael. In 2020, Netflix produced a reboot, created by Hannah Carroll Chapman, which aired in September 2022. The show is a spin-off of the 1993 Australian feature film The Heartbreak Kid, which also featured Alex Dimitriades, Nico Lathouris, Doris Younane, Scott Major and Katherine Halliday as early versions of their Heartbreak High characters. Series six and seven were set at the fictional Hartley Heights, and filmed in Warriewood in the Northern Beaches. The first five series were set at the fictional Hartley High and filmed in Maroubra Bay High School in Maroubra, New South Wales in the Eastern Suburbs.

The minimum temperature required for these crops is 35 degrees F. For instance, the optimum soil temperature for seed germination of carrots is 80 degrees F, for parsley and lettuce is 75 degrees F, and for spinach is 70 degrees F. The realistic soil temperature (degrees F) recommended for these crops are: beans (72), beets (45), cabbage (54), chard (54), eggplant (75), pepper (64), radish (45), tomato (55), turnip (50), and corn (55).Īs might be expected, those vegetables which are really the cold weather champs such as carrots, parsley, lettuce and spinach have lower optimum soil temperatures for seed germination. Yet the minimum soil temperature required for certain of these cold-tolerant crops such as beets, cabbage, hard, radish and turnip is as low as 40 degrees F. You can begin planting carrot seedlings or sowing carrot seeds as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring, even two to three weeks before the last frost. For the above-mentioned crops, the realistic soil temperatures (degrees F) for best plant production are: cucumber (64), cantaloupe (68), okra (73), pumpkin (75), squash (70), and watermelon (72).Ĭrops such as beans, beets, cabbage, chard, eggplant, pepper, radish, tomato, turnip and corn have an optimum soil temperature for seed germination of 85 degrees F. Thus, there must be a “realistic” soil temperature. Yet if a gardener plants when the soil temperature reaches only 60 degrees F, the vegetable seed will germinate and grow, but not vigorously. For instance, the optimum soil temperature for seed germination of vegetable crops such as cucumber, cantaloupe, okra, pumpkin, squash and watermelon is 95 degrees F, but the heat of summer will decrease yields and plant vigor. The realistic soil temperature is that temperature somewhere between optimum an minimum at which gardeners should plant to insure maximum success. Soil temperatures at which vegetable seed will grow are classified into four categories - the minimum temperature required for seed growth, an optimum temperature, a “realistic” soil temperature and, maximized temperature above which little germination will occur. Soil temperature is a factor which few of us consider important enough to check before planting yet it is probably the most important factor affecting seed germination, stand establishment and seedling growth. ![]() Ore important than moon signs and more predictable than weather is another variable which drastically affects how seeds and transplants grow - soil temperature. ![]() |
