Bump

Not right now, maybe down the road if it does not sell. Shot 50 rds thru it Friday with this setup including 10rds Tulammo steel case,which it shoots fine.

Still for sale. Some interest but no one has pulled the trigger. Set up with dpms upper with door and forward assist, 3.5 lb CMC trigger and Magpul PRS stock.20" barrel with brake. Now $1100...

I will be using my Thompson Contender in 300 blackout, with 110gr V-max Hornaday ammo, for the first time. I have taken Javelina with TC in 223 don't remember what ammo. Glock 21 and Kimber 1911, 45 acp 185 and 230 hollow points. All have put pigs down with one hit. I think hunting Javelina with a handgun is the funnest way to hunt them. I'm not sure if it's because the pigs have been hunted for a month straight, but it seems more difficult than the archery hunt.

Thought I would add pic of targets at 80yds, distance I could shoot at this spot. With Federal 168bthp and nosler 168hpbt.

Very tough choice in East valley. I would probably go to Ross too. I went to archery headquarters for over 15 years. Since George left awhile ago bow service has been marginal, and seems to be getting worse as as time goes on. I've tried timber mesa in Queen Creek, and in mesa, they have good customer service but I've had problems with my bow after both places. Not major problems, but small issues, lack of detail. ie peep turning, not tied in what I would call correct, traditional way. Parts not tightened. Etc. This really sucks when you have a second or two to hit a great bull and bow not 100%. Had to take my bow to Bull Basin Archery in Flagstaff to fix in middle of my elk hunt-do to their failure with attention to detail.. Also recommend Bull Basin Archery in Flagstaff to service your bow. I will take my bow to Ross from now on for service, or up to Bull Basin.

Hey, that is one of my tags! Jk Congratulations! I'm going to have to wait another year for my Rio (or 1/2 Rio) tag. Just wondering how many points it took for your Rio??

I currently have 2 male tortoises. They are beginning to fight alot. Afraid one is going to get flipped over while I'm out. Time for one to get a new home. I want to give the one I've had the shortest time away. I've had this tortoise for 2 years, and he has grown a couple inches in that time. He loves Romain lettuce and apples. I'm in Gilbert. Call if interested and/or have questions. Kirk

Gregaz is going to take tortoise in a few days. Thanks everyone.

Desert. I think he is about as big as he is going to get.

I have shot a fair number of critters from my Doublebull, and I think you can divide them into two groups. Turkey and Javelina, No need for mesh. Coues, Muleys, Elk, Bears, Antelope, Use the Mesh!! These guys can see( or smell) you the easiest and the mesh definitely helps. In January when you have both deer and Javelina chances, I keep the mesh up. If Javelinas come in I just pull it down, doesn't effect them. You can shoot through the mesh whether it is tight or not too loose, doesn't seem to effect flight. I shoot wac-ems and the mesh doesn't effect it at all out to 80 yds., if you hit the blind itself, and not just mesh, it will change point of impact.

Technically, you can remove the wheels from your mountain bike and carry it, or back pack it, across the wilderness sections, to connect your routes. But wheels must be removed from frame... So you could bike the entire route, you would just have to pack your bike on the wilderness sections. edit: This is definitely true for Grand Canyon, and use to be true around 2000, when i did a lot of bikepacking. But, I am not seeing any confirmation of this on the web right now.

+1 for Az Auto tech. I live in Gilbert and drive all the way over there to have him do work on my truck. Dave is a really good guy..

Very nice! Congrats on your first archery success.

I have to disagree with everybody else on here. If you know the area, roads, camping spots, etc, I don't even scout till after the July 4th weekend. Wait till that big weekend to have tons of side by sides driving around, just like opening of the elk hunt. Plus if you have cameras out before, there are so many more a..holes to mess with them. Plus you are in the monsoon by then and their patterns will change with all the extra water around. Find the cows (not the bovine ones) and the bulls will be there in September when the rut starts. Just my opinion, and I do drive a gas guzzler, so it saves me a couple trips up north. And gives me more time to scout for archery deer.

SOLD Had this Anderson 7075 forged lower sitting in my closet for over a year built up with dpms lower build kit. Less than 250 rounds through the lower. Finally got an upper for it last weekend. Upper and parts are brand new. $500 with flip up sights or scope rings and one pmag.

I have not fired it but can test fire it if you want. I have a 300 blk Radical upper that shoots amazing. And have several friends with Radical uppers, not one has had an issue. Pic included of my blackout groups at 80yds, and it has never had any misfire/feeds ever!

Sold! Still have Ace Stock, with brand new A2 buffer tube and black, tan and fde foam $100, or $75 without tube. Not in a hurry to sell, may want to keep it??? One piece rings 30mm, with plastic spacers for 1", $15.

Spf...

Not going to sell it separate yet. Maybe if it doesn't sell.

I like this 1st pic. Didn't realize wing was folded in on all my pics on my phone.

I was down in 35A for the 1st hunt. The Birds were gobbling very well on opening day. Where I was we could hear around 7 different gobblers from camp. I saw 6 gobblers within 20 yds in the 1st hour. Passed on some with scraggly beards and took mine at 6:10 opening morning. 10 1/2" beard, but no spurs. He walked within 2 yds of me before I got a shot at 15 yds. Other turkeys were too close to get a clean shot until he walked farther away. He was with 3 other gobblers, 7 jakes and 4 hens. Pretty exciting with all of them walking around me less than 20 yds, mostly 5-10 yds away from me sitting against an oak tree. I know another hunter that took his tom opening morning too, big group of toms, jakes and hens. Even saw another gobbler when walking back to camp, and had a bird gobbling all morning 150yds away from camp while we skinned my bird. Good Luck! Should be a blast.

Just dropped my Gould's off to Sven too. Super nice guy and real reasonable prices. Highly recommend him.

Bob, just tagged out this morning in 35a. Passed up 3 Tom's before took one with longest beard. Was at survey, have that info. Tried to call you. Can help if needed. Kirk. Pm me.

Tom, Left you a voice mail. I have a brand new sleeping bag and several turkey decoys. Sorry I can't volunteer, unless I get my turkey early in the hunt, then maybe. I'm in Gilbert too. Kirk
