So, after tax and shipping, paid about $70 a box


I found a couple boxes on grabagun… $55/box after tax and shipping.

I’m sure it will get better as inventory, increases, but I didn’t feel like waiting.

ETA: I guess I still have to wait. There was a “glitch in the system,” so they cancelled and refunded my order.

Figure out what her proper length of pull is (generally 12.5” would fit most women), and adjust from there. If that LOP is right, something else needs to change to prevent getting scoped.

Eta: You already said the scope fits a little weird. I’d try something with better eye relief, and you may also want to add a cheek riser if she can’t get a proper cheek weld.

Personally, I like a shorter length of pull over one that’s too long for me. It sits just right with a couple layers on. I’m 5”8” ,and 12.5” LOP is a little short but still works pretty good for me.
I wish you would have waited about 6 months to sell this. I’m sure you won’t have a problem selling but if it’s still around by then, I’ll be calling you :lol:

You’re late… LA Deer season opened last weekend.

Do I just need to adjust my expectations of an EDC blade holding its sharpness longer than 3 months, change the angle, or something else?


You go 3 months without any maintenance?
Lithium AA batteries last way longer than alkaline AA batteries.

Rechargeable lithium batteries are not going to be as big of a difference, unless you’re using a solar panel.
My dad always called them jam-o-matics when I was growing up. I think someone he hunted with had one that didn’t function too well.
Just buy catfish feed, not the overpriced trophy fish feed.
I like 1.5-4 x 20mm on mine.

Frozen jugs and ice packs work wonders for the food ice chest. But I don’t think there’s any substitute for a supplemental cooler loaded with fresh ice for drinks and meat/fish.

Say your still awake after the incident, but find yourself in the water with broken ribs


Yep, I know a guy that broke both legs after getting thrown from a boat. If he didn’t get pulled out rapidly, he would have drowned.

Inflatable PFDs are too damned convenient to not wear while running.

Correction : I wasn’t accounting for the time, labor to remove the existing boards


I’m sure that’s why you’re getting downvoted. That, and the guy asked where to bring it, not how to do it.

It took me more than an hour just to go to the store and buy new boards.

I know what you mean, but the way their population has grown, compared to other species, they’re evidently on to something. :lol:

Why stop making money? I love making it. It’s fun


I have fun at work too, but a whole lot more fun when I’m off.

It’s not for everyone. If you don’t have enough hobbies to keep you busy without a job, you might be better off saving less and spending more money now. Personally, I’d like to retire at 50… and if I had saved like I do now 10 years earlier, I would probably be retiring by 45.
Buy the one Loup posted and a spare. Also, get someone to help you install a bilge pump.

stop saving so aggressively and go enjoy a little more


What does enjoy a little more mean? This is going to be different for everyone, but I think it’s often used as an excuse to forego disciplined saving.

Personally, I’d rather be able to retire at 50 and “enjoy a little more” while my kid is a still a kid.

I don’t think so.

Who do you think you are?? You act like some kind of doctor who knows a lot about snakes!

Me too (once). They sent a replacement even though it was a few years past warranty.

I never did until I had a cracked tank and my pole vibrated down on the road. Now I strap it up. Hydraulics fail from time to time.
