    Trump shot at rally today

    Trump escapes assasination, calls for unity, is shown tremendous support at the RNC and significantly leads in new polls. Audible called. Biden conveniently catches covid, is headed back to Delaware to hide in the basement, and we will soon hear who Trump's new opponent will be..

    Ferry cicada bite?

    Otw home. Many fish caught, cicadas barely buzzing at all, dry action was there only with great casts and location. Fish population down but healthier individuals than any time in the last 2 decades.
  3. Great bucks, good luck getting them back!

    Pros/cons for sure. The right drop away is the best of both worlds 😉 Absolutely 💯.

    Archery Setup

    I wouldn't let anyone make you think 60 lbs isn't plenty. 70 can be overkill factoring in hunting situations, clothing and cold weather. A shop will help and is not a bad idea, but length can be measured at home too. Check a few videos on YouTube and sort through the guys that shouldn't be making videos. There are so many great used bows on this site that aren't selling well, see if you can find one with accessories (sight, rest) from someone that is willing to bring it to a range one day. There may also be an archery event worthy of your time.

    Archery Setup

    Welcome. A good starter bow is one you shoot a lot with a reliable string. Accessories can be upgraded over time. I prefer drop aways over whisker biscuits, and would never own a single pin slider on a hunting setup. I do not think visiting an archery shop and buying a brand new outift is necessary if money/cost is any factor. The money can spent elsewhere. I killed handfuls of critters with a $350 Bear combo. I now shoot a 2014 PSE model that isn't very desirable and it blows through animals. All said, if you go to an archery shop, shoot a bunch and let the bow choose you (comfort).

    3A/3C

    The portion on USFS is all Apache-Sitgreaves NF, yes. There is also State Trust, BLM and obviously lots of private, especially in 3A.
  12. I have a nice stock and a few barrels to swap in and out for a youth donor. I'm looking for an old beat up and/or shot out Savage short action 10/110 chambered in 308, 7mm-08, 260 Rem or 243 Win. An Axis won't work but a Stevens might. Just need a decent action and bolt. Please pm me if you have one you'd like to sell. Thanks.

    Johnson 9.9 Restore

    I was extremely fortunate to pick up this 1986 Johnson 9.9hp outboard from Sam. He was an excellent seller and I appreciate the ease of communication and transaction. Thank you, Sam! The motor was purchased with no questions asked and with similar experiences restoring/maintaining 70-90s OEM outboards, I ordered the anticipated service parts. When I hooked up the fuel for the intital test, fuel spewed from the inlet to the fuel pump. Instead of the entire fuel pump for an additional $60, I had ordered the fuel pump repair kit betting the rubber diaphragms needed replaced. If you don't have youth motor skills with your hands, you may be better off getting the entire pump, the springs suck. YMMV. Fuel continued to shoot after the fuel repair kit. It ended up being a crack on fuel filter cap once the kit was installed. No biggie, another $11 Luckily, a 1976 4hp I own shared the same cap I found cracked and testing continued.. 20240422_185635.mp4 Immediate fire and glory, but nothing out of the tell-tale. I removed the water outlet and it was clogged. Even after, still no water in the outlet. I have the water pump and carb kits ready to deploy through the week, more to come. Thanks again, Sam.

    Kelty Kids Carrier

    I've got a similar pack that my kids have outgrown but I haven't been able to let it go yet. Any and every young dad needs one of these. I started putting my kids in around 4 mo to get them comfortable for a few minutes at a time. It ended up being the best place to keep them safe in busy places and key for much needed naps. Yours looks light compared to mine, good luck with the sale and congrats to whoever buys this.

    Johnson 9.9 Restore

    With shifter in forward position, it took six 3/8" bolts to drop the gearcase and one 3/8" bolt to remove the shift linkage to get to the water pump today. The old water pump and driveshaft have some wear but the impeller was in good shape. Found the shaft key below the pump (likely culprit). Regardless, all cleaned and replaced. Runs excellent for no carb work or spark plugs. Those and gear oil change left. Stay tuned.. 20240424_190416.mp4

    What Round would Sell Best?

    No disrespect but I'm not sure the cartridge is the issue. Not many buyers want a bare used rifle right near the cost of a new one or to be forced into a package-only deal that includes substantial factory ammo and reloading components, most want one or the other. OP, I would steer clear of the 6.5x284 in the short action, picking whichever cartridge that fits your purpose (i.e. bullet) and not worry about resale yet. Good luck!
