    people who troll with cowbells gotta have this....

    So when i was stationed in Long Beach?? Anyways 1st charter since i was a kid and decided i would take fish home and clean them myself. L.O.L. bad choice! Dang i was ready to cut fingers and maybe hands off after multiple dorsal spine punctures including 1 under a finger nail 😢. them dang rock fish dont screw around 😂 I can honestly say the boat crew have cleaned my fish ever since.
  6. I think maybe when it's a human that's lost it should be posted in the campfire or classifieds where the most attention is paid. :-) glad the lost item was found especially since it was a human.

  8. Rodney Rudd is your contact name for correct info on this topic.It was Rodney I talked to. Maybe I shouldnt have been to hard on them, I dont know. Their bows have awesome reviews. I just thought their marketing ploy was a little cheesy. Rodney didnt know me from my great aunt Ethel, and his first reply to me was to sign me on as a pro staffer, for $150 off a bow and a t-shirt. Maybe I missed my opportunity...lol L.O.L. well guess it depends what price it was starting at. let me say this, i have yet to meet a Athens guy that goes back to any other than Athens. What does happen is you suddenly have a whole closet full of past and present bows. :] I asked him I think it was last year if he would donate a bow for Christian Hunters of American elk seminar and I was told no that they're not doing any donations the whole year. I know they took a pretty good hit they tried to come out with a crossbow is absolutely amazing crossbow but Athens archery actually started as a machine shop the owner Jason machines parts for multiple bow companies and scorpyd crossbows. I believe scorpyd sued them or some such thing over there design so Athens never got to produce it or maybe scorpyd said they were going to leave and maybe Athens said will we make a lot of money making their bows so let's just drop our crossbow???. I'm not really sure what happened there all I know is I really wanted one of the crossbows it was amazing. But what they do is they focus on just a few designs each year just a few new ones come out and they're absolutely top-notch amazing each year it seems to get better. They've somehow even developed 30-inch bows axle to axle that feel like a 34 inch bow and they hold like a 34 inch bow. This Summit is the new one guys are jumping all over but to me it's just that seems really small at 30 in ATA. The altitude is a good compromise between hunting bow and target bow 33 or 34 something like that. Many 3D guys actually go with the altitude. I owned one of the target bows years back and it was pretty cool but im not target guy. I have a Solace from 2016 that I'm actually converting cams on right now I sent it to a guy who's putting K2 Cams same as is on the altitude he's putting those on my Solace and supposedly it's a pretty mean machine afterwards. He said he can tune it with a monster Valley and 90% let off if I want :-) :-) :-) after a ton of surgeries I'm slowly trying to work my way back into actually being able to hunt with a bow cuz crossbows are cool and all but I miss archery. If you end up going Athens route the altitude or the revelations 7 is super popular and then the Revelation or rev is actually a shorter brace height and faster so that's a pretty popular speed bow i know Rodney shoots that 1. I think in original post i mentioned you can choose the colors in the limbs and everything. They have stock options that you can choose from or you can go custom in spend more money they have a custom shop there where they do all kinds of work but they have some really super cool colors and then for the Riser and then different colors for limbs that you can choose and put together what you want that makes it kind of fun. If they were adjustable draw bows everybody would own one but because they're fixed cams everybody tends to shy away from them because it hurts the resale value. Me personally I don't buy a bow because I'm looking forward to selling it I buy a bow because I want it to perform its absolute best for me. I've bought multiple used bows and then bought different cams and have them put on but of course it's easier to just by your draw length but im 31" and it seems most Athens guys are 27 or 28" 😡 i do have some in 30" including 1 lefty if anybody ever wants to try out but i do not have a current model in production i like being cheap and buying used.
  9. I was introduced to this company back in 2012 or 13 I believe. Since then I have not read one single bad review of any bow I've ever had. Guys may want a longer ata or to change their draw length or more speed but nobody's ever complained about a bows performance that I've read. I don't have any of the new lineup but just the bragging on them is unbelievable how nice they are there specs are always under so if they shave it say it shoots 350 it's actually going to be faster if they say it shoots 342 it will be faster ibo. Want to put this link to their bow so you can take a look before you order one. You must know your draw length because they are fixed draw bows. If you're in the market and not scared to buy Blind (without feeling 1) I'm telling you you'll never step away from Athens archery. My favorite in the new lineup is the altitude but I'm also six foot two and almost 300 pounds so I like a little more axle to axle like that they have the newest bow is the summit. The Revelation i believe is 350 ft per second these Bows are a lot shorter. The Revelation 7 have had plenty of 6-foot guys say that they actually shoot it quite well even though I believe it's only like a 30 inch axle axle. Take a look at them they're very nice. Also all Athens have lifetime warranty that follows the bow not the original owner. https://athensarchery.com/

  11. The accomplice 34 is still a heck of a bow. A lot of guys still call it their favorite Super smooth shooting bow. I want a ALTITUDE!
  12. Staff must own a current production bow and getting into 1 at their pkg $ is discounted. If accepted for staff you do get discounts from other companies also. Im unable to share pricing info. Like stated above they are small company and not big on advertising or giveaways so they can keep prices down. They let their staff wins hepl sell their bows.

    WTB a lightweight hunting rifle

    Ill second that. I have a Savage LWH in .260 and is one of my all time favorites. Very accurate for a little light gun, have taken It to 1,100 yards for fun and is dead on. Killed a few deer with it, longest was 536 yards and was a chip shot for it. Weighs in at 7lbs 12oz full set up and thats with a 20oz scope plus caps and lightweight bipod. Heres my last group with new brass, not my best but happy since its only a 14X scope and for what it is. You probably just cost me some $$$ nice rifle

    Hey man that's like a whole nother thread all together LOL

    Does everyone have their popcorn ready??

    your a horrible person!!! But not as bad as jumping the highway on a dirt bike as a sheriff comes around the corner. Then jumping other highways and having your license taken away before you even get it. Not me, I knew a guy 😂😂😂 I hate it when that happens! I lived in the desert when I was a kid, well at that time it was the boonies 40th Street and Bell period back in the three-wheeler days, the ATC. Well I raced a atc's at Canyon Raceway. I pretty much spent all day on the motorcycles throughout the summer as usually with a gun strapped on the front. One night they had put in a new subdivision first time anything came in with asphalt i was a little ways east of my house somebody had lost their dog so I was out on my ATC helping look for a dog. I was slowly cruising down the road looking up and down the roads and I passed a police officer sitting there with his parking lights on while he's writing his report so I kept going at the same Pace as soon as I passed that Street I just opened her up and took off well problem was it was a new neighborhood that I didn't know the road I chose to turn and run away on was a cul-de-sac so I just shut my bike off took my helmet off put my feet up and a few seconds later that cop came screeching around the corner lights and siren blazing and I was just chilling LOL he wrote me a ticket for everything you can imagine no helmet no license no registration no insurance all the good stuff I was only 12 years old I mean no protective glasses, no gloves no boots it was all this protective gear :-) anyways the kicker was then he made me push my motorcycle about 2 miles to my house will he followed me with his lights on Obviously this is just a fun stories from the past not any of the skeletons from the closet. By the way it ended up costing me $12 in court and the judge laughed his butt off 😂 the judge said Son how much money you got in your pocket, I had $12 in my pocket that I was putting towards buying some used skateboard wheels so he said pay that with the clerk as he continued to laugh

    No you just wish for a while she would go straight there! Actually she can be forgiven also. Once Jesus died on the cross and rose again we were given a choice to take the higher road and forgive her. (much more difficult than any many could ever imagine till you try loving a woman who is walking in your house at 3am laughing at you.. Too divorce that woman would be way easier than forgiving her and loving her!!!) If we were just too dang hurt we can divorce her and re-marry BUT she as the adulterer if she re-marries without repentence and change of life acceptence of Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior has now drug the new guy into adultery also.. I know this all too well! Ok carry on back to the drama! Dang does anybody wanna hear about my life 30years ago???? You know way more than half my life ago. Im with Shedhunter i think about it all daily but go forward in Christ helping others to not walk the same path.

    Wanted house painter

    With all proper prep im usually $3500-$5k on average house not a giant 2-3 monther of course. But yes pop outs, over hangs 2 toned, garage door sheened etc all start costing $$$.. We always figure in all repair of facia, cracks, garage door trim replacement etc. Very hard to compete with the trash work out there now. We always get the after effect calls where someone wants you to give them a special deal to fix something and unlicensed contractor just did to their house lol they don't understand it's harder to fix a bad paint job than it is to just do it right the first time. My biggest suggestion is make sure your house gets pressure washed 1st! (if,over hang needs scraped thats 1st then pressure wash) Then usually sand textured caulking on all cracks and facia repair. 5-7 years max before repainting so if its been 10-15 expect price to rise if done by good company. 👍 and if only done every 5-7 years dont ya think its worth using quality paint? contractor grade is a roughly 3 year paint *Adam just remember it is much easier to paint a house than it is to properly prep a house for paint.

    Wanted house painter

    With flyers being dispersed in neighborhoods "any house painted for $1300" there aint much thats supposed to be done getting done. L.O.L. no pressure wash, no facia work, no caulking.. Lowest grade paint is being sprayed thin over dirt and coloring your house not sealing and protecting your investment. 😡 if its done in a day or 2 guys that is wasted $ and will cost you $ down the road. Two or three houses have been painted in my neighborhood in the last week and I have not seen anybody work on them one time I just suddenly see a different color on the house LOL
