    crossbow people, need a little advice

    The Quad 400 is a quality crossbow & I know a lot of people who shoot Barnett and could not be happier. That being said, +2 on T.R.'s suggestion about having a pro shop give it a once-over. This is good advice with any used bow.

    If You Could Only Have One Cane, Which One?

    I avoided the "Bubba Stik" for a long time because I thought it would not pass the invisibility test. Then I got my hands one, used it for a day & stopped caring; hands down the most comfortable "cane" I have used. I now have a brass/"walnut" & a chrome/black model depending whether I am in...

    Tomahawks

    So, what does everyone think of the good old 'hawk? I love throwing mine but I have been wanting a new one for quite a while...something more tool than weapon so I have been looking around. I like Dave Canterbury's new design but it will probably be some time before I can get one. Just...

    Bump. This clubhouse needs a coat of paint. Also, the pics disappeared from my post?

    Low Cost HD rifle

    Things are not as bad as they were, even a couple years ago, but the days of the sub $200 SKS's are gone for good. The price you gave for the Russian in your town is not too bad, sadly. That show's you the state of the market. Russian's are the only SKS that will ever be collectible. Personally...

    What hangun to pair with 30-30 lever rifle?

    My favorite revolver for the field was stolen about a year ago. :fire::cuss::banghead: It was a blued 2 inch Ruger Speed Six; round butted with the original Ruger wood grips and the old purple-ish patina on the frame. I rescued this gun from a pawn shop for $150 almost 15 years ago. It had the...

    sks deer hunting stories

    Buy a set of Tech sights. Go for the target front sight pin. And as already mentioned, buy GOOD AMMO! That surplus crap is good for plinking and getting you frustrated. :D

    The 336 Club

    I got it!! Here's a picture of my new (to me) 336 CS, which I traded THR member TheMachine (a gentleman and a scholar), a few hours ago. This is how it looks now; soon to wear a set of Skinner sights (front & rear) and a limbsaver pad. I had already decided that I needed a good GP utility...

    Do you take the clips off your folders?

    I find the clips just get in the way, at least for me. Of course, my knife is usually the only thing in the pocket it rides in, just so I don't have to fish around when I want it.

    All these Bali threads!?!?

    :o I need to admit, I used the wrong terminology. When referring to the "lock" I actually meant the toggle that holds the handles together when closed. My bad. :o During the mid to late '80s I liked to EDC a balisong. Unfortunately, they had an annoying habit of opening in my pocket. If the...

    All these Bali threads!?!?

    Played with them a lot in my misspent youth. They are fun to play with, but I never had much faith in them; locks wear fast and flop, handles tend to be slick. IIRC I ruined the tip of one opening an epoxy tube, or something similar. Not really a working knife, not really something I would...

    My new Machete from Amazon

    Heck of a chopper, Deltaboy. Considering what hso said, if you do any cutting tests, start small and work up. Looks like fun, though!

    If you carry a cane, what age are you?

    I am 45, but I inherited arthritis in my knees. Back as far as my High School days my knees would "crack" when I knelt down...made all my friends wince. :D Most days I don't need it a cane but the days I do its pretty miserable. BravoSierra is correct: crafting/customizing your own sticks...
