  1. Well, it has been delivered to Primos. Now I hope they can get it repaired and back to me soon!
  2. Looks great! Congrats! Interesting, I just changed my IP service to 15MB u 2 MG down and your pictures loaded up just fine. Quick too! All the best with the home!
  3. When I was on the track team that was my race. I did not have a burst of speed like a sprinter but had the stamina to get the deal done. My speed was good but never as good as Emmon Coughlan. Ah, those were the days!
  4. There have been several lawsuits over the years. So far, Scent Lock has won out. How long does the scent lock stuff last until it can no longer retain efficacy? Is it number of washings or time for when it no longer has the desired effect? So may clothiers are made of scent lock technology. You can easliy see the price difference in scent lock vs. non scent lock. I wonder how long it works to make the price difference pay for itself? I use the scent free soaps and sprays and have hunted for decades without scent lock duds so I jest need a compelling argument to consider paying the extra cost for their clothes. Any thoughts?
  5. A few class action lawsuits have been filed, no outcome yet. I use them sparingly just for my annual big hunt where it takes two days to drive to my spot. One drink each day max. Articles have been written: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/15/health/research/15risks.html?_r=0 Long term use; excessive daily use can not be good for you IMHO.
  6. I went back the store. An extra trip I should not have had to make. Package was delivered. So much for on-line service with UPS. Maybe UPS internet service need people that can read correspondence.
  7. Here is the chain of emails back and forth to UPS Customer service. I redacted the personal info but I think you can get the thrust of my frustration. I sent my Double Bull Matrix Recurve Blind back to Primos for repair. UPS moved to Atlanta but where oh where did they locate their email service customers reps? To: Total Tack UPS.com 7:41PM today: Hello, I left a large package at the UPS store on 9/22/12. $109.85 to ship. The store took my email and said I would receive a tracking number. Store XXXX. I have yet to receive an email on the status. Receipt ID xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From me at (home address) to Primos (business address) Can you let me know if this was delivered?

  8. Good luck! I use a different brand but I enjoy having the option to use a compound or cross bow. Good luck with your set up!
  9. I tried the mechanicals some time back and I did not like all the fiddlin' to keep it all together. Back to Magnus 4 Blade Buzz cuts, never had an issue with them.
  10. Only during the rut and usually Code Blue Still Standing Doe in Estrous.
  11. I found this commercial informative: http://safearrow.com
  12. I use what I use on my Compound bow. Magnus fixed 4-blade 100gr. "Stinger Buzzcut" blades. Works well crossbow or compound!
  13. The Helim in all black would be nice. I will have to stick to my Hoyt Laser Tech for a few more years however.
  14. 33 yards on a Buck walking left to right, not running. Heart shot with Bow. Brown & Down!:rockon:
  15. Nothing. I don't want any distractions. Ever notice some people are oblivious to how long hey play their device? Nice way to wan deer while working on decreasing your hearing
  16. I use several versions of Double Bull Binds. Some I left up for weeks at a time and they survived some nasty storms when the wind blew some large tree limbs and smalls trees on them. I got a nice but about 30 minutes after setting it up. Before season I also cover them with waterproof spray. Not perfect but good enough.
  17. When we started having kids ( and their friends that come over) I went from the lockable cabinet to a full safe. I got a good deal at an end of season sale at Bass Pro. Fireproof and handy as well for some important family documents (i.e. Birth certificates). I got a large one and that was handy as I added to my collection of guns over the years. If you budget can handle it, think of moving up to a safe. Good luck. Be Safe!
  18. ABC News CBS News NBC News PBS News But FOX News tries. Better than the lefties mentioned above
  19. Long sleeves, light gloves, Bug Suit pe undergarment and with this heat and the Nile Virus going on, I will have Two Thermacells with me. Each are good for 4 hours so use one and crank #2 up when the first one is done The Frog Toggs seem good, if only they came in camo! This may do it: Amazon.com: Grabber Magic Cool Personal Cooling Towel, True Timber Camo: Health & Personal Care Get long sleeve gutting gloves too Good luck!
  20. Thank you for your services and all the best in your future endeavors
