2020:
Bought the wife an Axiom SMF
Found the brother a killer deal on a Micro 355
Bought a rail and riser to finish Dad's custom Micro 340
Built a 6mm ARC, my first ever AR
Sold wife's Axiom SMF
Bought Marcel's BD400

More active than I've been in the prior 10 years combined :)

And 2021 I'll be saving up for this: https://notawheelchair.com/

For the places I hunt it'll be more than capable and it's 1/2 to 1/4 the price of the tracked chairs or 4wd electric bikes that are out there.
Tyler, I have been really interested in a 6mmARC ever since the articles started coming out. Looks to me like a great cartridge for the AR platform. Now I want to heat all about it.

Im sure that my wife would tell you that I bought a lot more but only thing that I can think about is an Old School Exomax. Then got a cast riser from Danny and made a "Miller Magnum" out of it. Found a Leupold Crossbones and an ACP trigger. I had a Boo string w whiskers from days gone by. Let the old school fun begin!! ( I may have to try some Aluminum arrows in this antiquated beast )
Oh, I did buy one of the Sig BDX 2.5-8 scope combos .I think its trick but I havent got it mounted on anything yet.
So all in all I have been a really good boy. 8) :lol:

Sadly I haven't even fired a single round through my ARC yet. I finished building it right around firearm season opener, no optic on it yet either. But one of my other brothers also built one and he's run a few dozen shots through it. He loves the round. And I did the handloads for him. Super easy loading round. And his shoots 70gr bullets as well as it does 108gr, so it seems to be very diverse. Sure seems like this round will be sticking around for good. I've heard others say this was the round the Grendel should have been from the beginning, and I'd have to agree. Going down to 6mm made it just fast enough.

I'm thinking of combining a couple ghost blinds with the notawheelchair and I'll have a very mobile, quiet, and easy to conceal setup for archery season. I do ok with my current methods but this will definitely up my capabilities in terms of getting to new areas and being easier on the guys that help get me set out. And even opens the door to me being able to go to some spots independently. I hate hunting from the van... Which I've only done in a pinch.

The notawheelchair looks really cool. I could see that being a huge benefit for people with all kinds of accessibility issues.

I good buddy of mine "repped" for lack of a better term, the trackchair of a couple hunting TV shows and a magazine. But sadly he himself, or most people, simple can't afford it. I think at the time it was $20k CAN for the basic black model. And it's slow. It was cool, but not a really all-around machine like the NAWC looks to be.

Bought 2 integrally suppressed AR rifles. One in 5.56 and the other in 300 blackout. Next step is to put the thermals on them.
