The vette was awesome, but it sat because I always seem to have more than 1 passenger (ie kids). Hoping a 4 seat open air vehicle will be used more than 1-2000 miles a year like my vette was.

Shoot, that's a good idea! But I may go with the whole hazmat suit requirement to really keep dirt out of the jeep!

Will do Bob. Love em both but it’s a good possibility.

lol - not sure Lee (reeltime) and I could pick this one up out of the muck if it got stuck. Will keep the ATV for the swamp.

Thanks Dave. I did have them pull that ugly light bar off. Hoping that I don't get bit by the mod bug too bad. And yes it has the targa top (area over fronts seats) and the whole top can be removed.

Having sold my convertible several years back out of stupidity and later my motorcycle out of fear that a teen texting would leave my kids without their dad, I have been looking for an open air vehicle to use in the summer. Got a sweet deal on this rubicon recon with only 1,300 miles. Who knows, if I like it enough, the carpeted bed sissy truck may be sold. Going to give it some time to decide whether I really need both. Might be a toy or just a daily driver. But liking it so far.

Does Greg54 now have to change his name to Greg55? Happy Bday!

It was Beikirchs and they are now closed unfortunately

Big difference. Quality work as usual!

We hit the swamp enough to muddy everything but no real mud holes. More woods trail riding but still fun.

And my wife’s friend from Thailand. Said it’s the most fun she has had in the US. Handled the machine darn good for a petite new rider. This toy was money well spent.

She loves popping wheelies. A little too much like the old man. But man does she love riding. Hitting the trails with glysophate worked well.

I have the walker razor slim. They work well and are comfy. Use them when target shooting. You will hear fine but direction of sound is not as easy to pinpoint.

I am in. Just cut AGAIN! Bushes need a trim already too.

Did it work well on black flies? Last year, I didn't really use it while hunting bear much but the few times I did, it didn't seem to eliminate the flies. That said, the flies were the worst on the last 3 days and by then, I was pulling all stops, including no thermacell, with the hope of seeing one.

I save a lot of money on shells when hunting Turkey. PM me for my secret!

A guy that hunts my neighbors property said he shot a buck at 700-800yds this past year. Even offered to teach me to shoot such distances with ease. lol I told him I am no sniper and don't plan to be. He did kill a buck but I am guessing his "rangefinder" was a bit off.

Good luck with her!

Good luck Sir. Kill a vile bird!

I tried a release once with a recurve and never again. It was horrible - probably due largely to how a trad bow is tillered. They are made to shoot with fingers and fingers impose a different force (sideways) on the string and arrow making a rest (like a drop away or biscuit rest useless and hinder good shooting). Also, for most trad shooters, the string goes to the side of the face making a peep useless. Olympic shooters draw to the chin which may make a peep useful (not really sure) but that requires a sight for sure as the arrow tip will be yards below the target. Most hunters don't anchor in a place where a peep could be used. I don't disagree Belo that originally, the big selling point of compounds was a lightened load at full draw and it is nice. Its just not what I think makes "mastering" a trad bow so difficult.

Honestly holding the recurve is the easy part and I don't think a significant disadvantage when compared to a compound - although it is some disadvantage. But shooting without a rest, with fingers and without the use of the peep site make any trad bow much more susceptible to misses due to form break down and lack of repeatability. Just my opinion. I really think that is why even with a sight, many people give up on trad bows while most can become reasonably proficient with a compound in a short period of time.

Enjoy it Grampy!

Speed and strength are both components of power and the best PLers and OLers will utilize both their lifts. OL definitely is a learned skill and requires more precise technique than PL to reach the top. Neither use a string or arrow and neither should be included in bow season.
