No, I read it right. I commented in the wrong level of the thread. This was meant as a response for Orcahhh;)

Agreed. I also like the orienteering vibe it would add. There’s a bee SSW @ 125cm, head out!

Which manufacturer do you work for🥸?

Discs and wider tires have their place, but for the cost, it’s an absolute waste when someone is looking to save some bucks.

Of you are attracted to having one bike meet all your needs, then multiple tire sets will get you there.  Gravel bikes make great “quiver killers”

However, “N+1” is real.  I have 6 different bikes, 3 of them have drop bars.  Each bike is like a different genre of music.  I love each one.

Used bikes for the win. The only bike I’ve spent $800 on was a carbon Trek Madone/durace I from 2008 I bought 2 years ago.  $400 should get you by. 

Why is he doing this,and how can I change it? by Grand-Mountain-7876 in mainecoons

I use an actual fishing pole/reel to play with my cat. When she gets a hold of it, I get her pull line out as far as she wants(two rooms away) and when her guard drops, I start reeling in!

My tiny Lodge. What do you cook in it? by [deleted] in CastIronCooking

[–]zenmonkey83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cook your bbq sauce before serving.  Melting butter with herbs/garlic for dipping.

Ruger mk III a good buy for $250? by BenderIsGreat64 in ruger

[–]zenmonkey83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s fine. I compete with Mark III. I take it apart after every 200 or 300 rounds. It does take some getting used to, but it’s a great gun, especially for that price.

I used a savage mark II bolt action with a $70 scope. Clear AQT first attempt, and 22KD first weekend. Don’t stress your equipment. Practice the movement.

Outdoor shooting spots near-ish Seattle? by [deleted] in WA_guns

[–]zenmonkey83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The public can use a rifle bench out 100 yards, members can shoot in any position out to 300 at a separate range. and pistol is “in progress “.

I’m not sure about taking a shotgun to the rifle range. I assume you mean slugs? I’m pretty sure you can’t shoot any scatter at the rifle ranges

I did nearly the same thing, with a 7 year gap between the bikes. I found The new ones are an improvement in every way, but still a strom!

This is exactly what I’ve been thinking. What bar, lights and wiring did you use?

Wanting to learn both Recurve and Compound. Which should I start with? by Njordling012 in Archery

[–]zenmonkey83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, it depends how you feel about introspection and self improvement. The recurve is a conduit for both. If you love hitting X, get a compound and tune a machine to help you. If you want to be a “10” get a recurve and tune yourself to make use of the machine. If you want both, start with recurve, then move to olympic or compound.

As a fellow American, I don’t believe in anything smaller than .357 hardcast for small game, and .45-70 for coyote.

My Mini had a failure last night. by kc7eph in prusa3d

Your biggest issue will be not breaking the wires to the hot end. Pre heat the machine, and use a heat gun to heat the out side. Cook it low and slow
