IA Born

A while back when I was getting the components to reload for my daughter's 7mm-08, I accidentally grabbed a box of Barnes TSX 7mm 140 gr bullets. I meant to get the TTSX 140 grain bullets. I didn't realize what I did until I opened the box. The box is opened, but all bullets are there. I need to get another box of TTSX for her rifle. Would like to sell the TSX for $30 ($35 shipped) or trade someone that wants these for a new box of TTSX 140 gr. If you want pictures, I can take them and post them, but I figure you know what a box of Barnes TSX looks like. Thanks!

Took the words right out of my mouth. Great job!!

That's awesome! Congrats!

Are they available for the Axis youth? I'd love to swap that factory stock for a good after-market for my daughter's Axis youth!

I've got a brick of steel-cased .22 lr that I picked up for my daughter. It doesn't work well in her Cricket. Only 5 rds shot (495 left; 10 boxes of 50). I recently got a couple of bricks of Federal, so I don't need this stuff. I paid $40 for the brick back during the craze and will let it go for $30. I'll be in the valley for my daughter's soccer tournament (Pecos Park area) the weekend of 18-20 Oct. I can bring it if you want to meet me somewhere in that area. PM me if you're interested.

Last weekend, my daughter had a soccer teammate/friend over and we got to talking about archery. My daughter proudly showed her friend her bow and her mad-shooting skills! After a real quick and dirty lesson, her friend tried my daughter's bow out. I had to help her because its set at 31 lbs draw weight. She missed the target, but you could tell she instantly fell in love. At the next practice she ran up to me and said her and her parents spoke about it and she can take up archery! To help them ease into it and not break the bank, I told them I would keep an eye out for a used youth bow with the idea that if it sticks, they can start looking at new bows/packages down the road. She's too big for a Diamond Atomic or Nuclear Ice. Used Ruckus, Razor's Edge, or Infinity Edge would be perfect to get her going. So if any of you have a used youth bow for a 9-year old girl that's in good condition or know of someone who will be selling one, can you please have them contact me? Let's get another young lady into archery! Thanks, guys!

Thanks, Mthomas. My daughter's friend doesn't have the upper body strength for a 25lb draw weight. She needs something in the 15-30 lbs range for now. Much appreciated!

Last spring, we bought our 9 year old daughter a Savage Axis youth model in 7mm-08 and then had a muzzle brake installed locally. At 60 lbs, she claims that my AR kicks harder than her 7mm-08 and she is drilling the center every time she shoots at 100 yards. She can't wait for her first elk and deer hunt! We got it at Cabela's (came with a Bushnell 3-9x40 scope) for something like $350 or $370. They are cheaper without the scope, but there was a miscommunication between me and the guy behind the counter. We all ready had a Vortex scope for it. Put the Bushnell on her Marlin Model 60!

Its a rainbow hedgehog cactus. I used to see those in 34A all the time when I lived down south. They are only "protected" in that you need a salvage permit under (I think that's the right permit) the Arizona Native Plant Law from the Arizona Department of Ag. If you have access to one from a nursery, that's better and easier. Miss seeing those!

x2 for OE4A. I donated an archery javelina tag to them two years ago and they are great to work with. Eddy is top notch!

Is that a youth model?

I'm starting the process of shopping for a shotgun for my 9-year old daughter, who turns 10 in April. As much as I'd like to be able to justify the cost of a Rem 1187 Compact for her, the 870 compact and Mossberg 500 youth are at the top of my list. They both have their pros (and cons, I suppose) I need to see which one fits her and she can handle better. When I turned 12 or 13, my dad gave me a full-size Rem 1100 that Christmas. Youth models weren't even heard of then. I grew into it in no time. Definitely have him try your current 870 for size and reevaluate after that. Good luck!

There is also Outdoor Experience 4 All. I had to donate an archery javelina tag a couple years back because my wife got really sick the only weekend I had open in January. I got ahold of Eddy Corona there and dontated my tag over to his group. TOP NOTCH outfit!

Very sorry for your loss. I remember those shed pics well. She definitely had a great life as part of your family and she'll be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge.

That was AWESOME!! Congrats!

You've got to be kidding! That makes 5 I can see now!

Negative. its under the mesquite next to the cholla. That's a sotol you're seeing next to the ocotillo!

I just opened the book to scan it and realized that Manual #4 does not have the load data for IMR 4350 in it. You'll have to use the data from cbyrant's post in the older manual. He's right, it should still be correct. Sorry, I thought it was in the book. I can still scan the page and send it to you if you want to see what is included for the TTSX.

Got your PM. Will scan the page today and email it off to you.

Crap. Forgot to get it before I left town. Will get it tonight when I get back. Barnes' website data only has two powders listed. PM me a reminder if I forget. I can copy/scan the whole page when I'm at the office tomorrow and email it to you if you send me your email.

I've heard good things about Casey's, but have always used Coconino Game. Dennis has always taken great care of me and, as far as I know, he still delivers. He's taken deer, javelina, and feral hogs and his sausage from those hogs is great! It helps that every time my kids go out there with me, they end up with the antlers that others don't want to take with them!

There's also Warner's Nursery, especially for landscaping and snow removal. Flagstaff Athletic Club also has a bunch of college kids that work there. They have two locations (east and west) and seem to always be hiring off and on. I think you get a membership discount, too. My daughter's soccer team manager is the GM over there so I'll ask her if they are hiring when I see her tonight at our team meeting.

I can get you the info tonight, but I agree with PRDATR. I'm starting to develop loads for my daughter with 140gr TTSX. I'm trying RL-15 first and then will try IMR 4064 and/or 4895 if the RL-15 doesn't work.

To each his own. I think they all were improved upon with the editing, they all look great! Exactly! To each his own and the editing work is phenomenal! I am going to share the link to this post on a forum back home so some friends can see and, hopefully, bring him some extra work!

What he said. Way back when I used to quail hunt, there was almost always a separation of habitat types.
