I agree and disagree. I would hate to take someone's life, but the gravity of the situation that necessitates shooting someone should imply that yours or other's lives are in danger. Firearms are a tool for killing, whether that's for food or for self defense. On the subject of "less messy,"...

If Trump ends up as president, I can tell you what wall-like structure construction companies would be ordered to create. I fail to see your point. Even if Apple wouldn't call it a product, that means they didn't have to spend R&D time developing the software, then testing it to be sure it...

I'm a Bronco's fan and my wife, being from Charlotte, is obviously a Panthers fan, so I enjoyed the outcome of the game. For a minute. Then I cuddled up with my mutt on the couch for the next week. I really enjoyed the game though. I was a little worried that Manning would be a turnover risk...

Got this a few weeks ago, never got around to putting it up. Not at all what I was after, but I needed something under my belt. First successful hunt for me! :biggrin:

I should've known better than to open this can of worms. :rolleyes: Nobody never torques. Look at the set ups the pros use, Jesse Broadwater, Tim Gillingham, Levi Morgan, they're all set up to be as forgiving as possible so that when they do torque their bows, the result is as small as...

I don't know what rest you were using, but if the arrow hit the capture bar, it may have been set up wrong. Whisker biscuits are easier to set up, and shot for shot they may not appear at a disadvantage in terms of accuracy, but the arrow is practically always in contact until it completely...

You need a new arrow rest. ;)

50% Italian, the other 50% is mostly UK descendant with some other European mixed in. Don't know about any individually famous ancestors, but my family was the largest family crime syndicate in America in the early-to-mid 19th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loomis_Gang

This is why I would be an awful coach/teacher, I have no tact. The conversation would probably go along the lines of, Parent: "Why aren't you playing my son? Billy's not getting near as much playtime as Johnny" Me: "Well, Johnny comes to practice, works really hard, practices at home, gives it...

That's a nice looking buck. I'd love to have something like that walk in front of me. Agreed. At the very least donate it. There are plenty of organizations that would put the meat to good use. Just 2 more days! I've seen deer every day on my commute this week. I really wish the house I...

I better see pictures in this thread as we get into this season! :D This year VA changed from the big game permit, which included bear, to a deer and turkey permit. If I somehow manage to stumble across a bear with my bow, I'm going to be pissed. :mad: Fortunately, I doubt I will. What's...

I know other states have already started, but early archery starts Saturday in VA! Unfortunately it looks like it'll be pretty wet and windy, so I doubt I'll make it to a treestand. How's everyone else doing? All prepped and ready? Anyone bagged anything yet?

That's a good point I had forgotten about, but you're right on. I wonder if a lot of major apps, things like Dropbox, Paypal, Facebook, Clash of Clans etc. are ported, or if they have dedicated developers for Android. Facebook has been pretty shitty in my experience on Android, but I'm not sure...

I've noticed this, and found it both amusing and disappointing, especially in regards to display. I specifically chose the One M8 over I believe the LG G4 and the Sony Xperia because there were reviews that the processor couldn't provide ample power to the displays, so lagging occurred. I...

I've come to appreciate your input. But I'm also a fellow engineer, so I can understand the numbers that come from your words. :D Running out of torque in this instance doesn't mean you have 0 torque as soon as you hit such and such RPMs. Consider it an exaggeration if that's easier for you, it...
