Are we buying PB now temporarily (until next jackpot win, that we'll hit), since that MM was won recently? 

I am shooting and volunteering at our club's Father's Day Shoot this weekend. My son's bow (an adjustable Diamond Infinite Edge) was adjusted poundage and draw length earlier this spring as he continues to gain height and muscle (almost 14). I was all set for my second bow hunting season last...

Dang friends, so close. Keerock, just sent another buy-in for awhile, let me know if you don't see it. Maybe next time...

I am still in. Still think we will win as a group. This is our year! Will check balance and send long payment again shortly.

I am a middle of the road democrat who is doing well and had friends on both sides. I am fiscally conservative, love guns, and hated both Hilary and Trump in 2016 and voted 3rd party last time. This year I voted Biden and Dem party in a battleground state. Lately, I have been listening to a lot...

Thanks Ned. You're quick analysis confirms my suspicions. I barely know what the parts of the bow are, but it sounds like some hardware upgrades are necessary to get it right? Does this mean new strings, etc. too? I'd rather get it right now than continue to develop bad habits. 

A quick update from this newb, which will meander some. My boy and I took hunter's safety this spring, which was a big step for someone who has never hunted. I have my sights set on learning this year and bow hunting next year. We're members of a local bow club, so have been shooting pretty...

Yesterday was a good learning experience at the club for both me and my son. Was trying out my new (used) Stan SX2 handheld thumb release for the first time. Second pull I had my thumb on the trigger and I punched myself in the face ala Tyler Durden in Fight Club. The arrow had just enough speed...

I got a cheap wrist strap from a name company that seems to work well, but just today bought a used Stan SX2 three finger handheld thumb release off ArcheryTalk forum classifieds (the :nerd: s of the archery world) to dip my toe in the water for a reasonable price (Damn, new ones are...

I'll give a brief update. My 10 year old and I are going down the rabbit hole. We're still in a beginner class at a local club (which coincidentally also hosts a class for our state's hunter's safety and bow hunting requirement), but in the last two weeks I've bought us used bows (a Diamond...

So me and my 10 year old son are doing a beginning archery class through a local club. We both really like it and I anticipate that we would both get bows after the class is done, and join a club. I will be throwing questions in here as I figure this out as I know nothing. Looks like it could be...

I'll jump in here for a minute. Was a big time smoker in college, cooled off for a dozen years while starting out/having kids. Kids more self-sufficient, so dusted off my bowl, then bought a vape. Got a Pax 2, which was/is great. My wife (a former smoker too) likes the Pax as it is simple and...

I donated for the first time after Iowa and again after NH. I can't stand Hillary. Here's a good article on the Superdelegates. Seems really disingenuous when they show the score of these, as the media doesn't explain that they don't get really assigned until the convention...

:goodposting: My BIL recently went through this in a similar situation. He stayed home to raise the kid, was underemployed, she made over $100k, etc.. But he took an exact opposite approach. A) He dragged it out as long as he could. Besides just putting this stuff behind him emotionally, there...

Good advice, though I've never used a recruiter. I've been in this boat for about 8 months, and while the hiring process can sometimes take a while (one lead/company's hiring process that I'm int he mix is still on-going with in-person interview yet to come - started last November), having a job...
