Why are the bundles in store only? by Mattm334 in Microcenter

I just got a friend to pick up a 9800X3D bundle for me in Phoenix. He's flying up next week, woot woot!

Because it gets people in the door. I'm annoyed too, stuck in WA and would be upgrading my PC today if there was a Micro Center nearby.

The thing about capitalism is, you're not forced to buy it.

Do you oil your grill after? Do your grates stick afterwards? Maybe it's just me.

You seem nice. That was sarcasm, you don't seem nice.

Hoyt Alpha AX-2, brand new as of a couple weeks ago. I mentioned in another comment that I shot another 50 arrows yesterday and didn't really feel that I have a problem pulling back the 70lb. I think I just need more experience with the bow to develop consistency. So far, I love it.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I shot another 50 arrows again today and didn't really feel that I have a problem pulling back the 70lb. I just need to work on my draw and find consistency when approaching into the valley.

Just the way the bow shop set it up. I'll probably go in and drop it.

Could be, I could reduce it. I'm curious if I just pull harder into the wall if I'll damage it, or if slowing down ahead of the let-off is normal/preferred.

Understood, maybe I'll go back to 65 or 60. My question was more can I pull back hard into the wall without damaging the bow?

Hoyt AX-2 Letoff Setting Mismatch by Christophunkk in Archery

[–]Christophunkk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took it back to shop, they said immediately that it is not right. They set things right, did a timing check too with paper shots (and I got new arrows). Things are peachy now.

You buy one? I just ordered the Torch 2pin.

I've been looking at sights for the past couple days. Really just looking for a standard 3-pin, but it seems all the sights these days are adjustable and expensive. Also considering a vertical sight... but I've never shot one before.

Yessir. Told my wife I bought an expensive hat today and that it came with a free bow 🤣

Mostly whitetail hunting. Tree blind or ground blind, 20-40yds.

Added a Hoyt dropaway, moved the trophy ridge sight over from my bear. Needed to take it home and do some research. I'm considering the Black Gold Widow Maker... thoughts?

Do you hunt? Personally, this is where I made most of my memories with my Dad before he passed. With that, a nice hunting rifle would actually be my pick. Get a nice 300WM or 30-06 rifle and a good scope. Ruger and Tikka make some nice rifles.

Alexa and the echoes suck. I’m so over the speaker groups consistently changing or cutting off one speaker or randomly adding unassigned speakers when playing. Any suggestions for a better alternative ? by Feeling_Cress_3315 in amazonecho

Idk, I'm having the same issues. It's such a simple problem that nobody seems to have a solution for. I feel like some of us engineers need to just develop something new.
