Fodder for Obama/Biden Champagne

Hey, I think Obama & Biden could use that!.

It fits perfectly with their Gun Control views.

They may have to pay royalties though. Hmm....

For what it's worth,
I've seen many merchants that charge different shipping rates on ebay than they do on their own non-ebay site.

I wouldn't necessarily stop using a particular merchant just because of a difference in shipping policies/charges.

Just my $0.02,

I've only had some quality issues with two of them. They would not shoot the same as the others. The deer I shot with them this last fall did a good job. But could not use it again. Was thinking of the 4 blade because of the bigger diameter. From this thread alone, it appears as though you aren't t...

Re: Slick trick vs. Wasp Boss

My Slick Tricks do fly like my field points & I''m pretty sure I've read that he Boss head flies the same so they should shoot close. I should add that I shoot GT L2 w/ brass inserts, 4" duravanes w/ strong helical & 125 gr points from a 185lb Exomag. I've since sold that bow & bou...

Re: Slick trick vs. Wasp Boss

I'm using wasp boss 100's now but was thinking of trying the slick's 4 blades. Just wondering if they would shoot close to the wasp's? Why the switch? Are you unhappy with the Boss performance? My Slick Tricks do fly like my field points & I''m pretty sure I've read that he Boss head flies the ...

If they are still out there, member GaryL here had a great video on using the Arizona EZ Fletch for making bolts. As for cost savings, I ...

<snip> We have big ones, but the chances and odds are still in favor of the midwest for the true gaints. Probably because most of those states have good management and mainly only bowhunt. One of the dads in my Cub Scout Pack goes to the midwest to bowhunt nearly every other deer, er, YEAR. He's to...

I'm going to have to seriously consider getting that BM-180 target if it continues to hold up for you. The BM 180 is great but stay away from the BM 360 at least for crossbows unless you want a real workout. I had to put the target on the ground,stand on top of it and pull like $#@@ to get the arro...
