Selling a Cub Cadet XT1 mower with a 50" Fabricated Deck. Purchased new in March 2019, 100.8 hours on it. Kohler 7000 Series 24HP V-Twin engine. New battery April of this year. It has a broken throttle cable, I have a new one, I just haven't installed it. It does have an oil leak (possible valve covers, I haven't dug deep). It is also down on power, I have not researched the cause. Could be more mice damage, they chewed through some wires last year and I was down one cylinder then. Frame, body and deck are all in great shape. Stored in a shed the whole time, so out of the elements, but mice still got in. I should have the plug for the mulch kit around for it and I think I may have a new set of blades also. Selling rather than repairing because I don't have the patience for it and wanted to go back to a ZTR anyway. Asking $700. Located in Western Monmouth County, near Great Adventure. I have a trailer, delivery can be discussed. Cross-posted.

I imagine Stu will respond as well. But I'll toss in my 2 cents. The first ever competition I did was an IDPA with Stu when he still ran them at the other place. Stu does a great job running the matches! Expect to run through a safety briefing beforehand to prove you have basic skills. Pay attention to the ROs! Watch your muzzle & trigger finger! Have fun! I'd love to continue to compete IDPA with Stu, but it's just too far for me to get to in time.

Door-to-door salesmen - is this actually a thing?

Japan! Safe travels. -
I've been saying this for years with a slight twist. Make it a pay-per-view event with the proceeds going to the the victims' families.

Tracking devices have been around for years, long before Apple decided to make them. It's doubtful you could determine if any other brand's device is attached to you or your property; unless it was visible that is.

Introducing a teenager to shooting sports
kc17 replied to kc17's topic in Training Techniques and Tools
Got one of my other nieces out to the range for her first time ever today. This is my wife's sister's 12 yr old kid. I must admit I was a little surprised her parents let her go without them, more so her father. Suited me great, since I told my sister-in-law I'm not taking her husband to the range. I saw him handle unloaded handguns at his house, it was bad. I am confident he would not handle instruction from me well, the rest of the family agrees. My sister-in-law is pushing him to get professional training. I've been trying to get her to go with me, but our schedules haven't worked out yet. My father-in-law did come today also. I gotta say, I must be a damn good Instructor (I am one by profession, but not firearm related). She did great and had a blast! Was more accurate and had better trigger discipline than her "Pop-pop", and he's no stranger to guns or hunting. Granted, it's been years for him, but he grew up on a farm with guns and hunting. Plenty of years to develop bad habits apparently. Must be more suited to rifles and revolvers also, his new-to-him bottom feeder bit him pretty good due to poor finger placement. I warned him, he didn't listen. My other niece and nephews continue to enjoy their range trips and do well. I have as much if not more fun taking them than going myself. -
I left during setup of one of the matches. The MD was a total d-bag. I saw a guy at a different match a month later. He was at the same match but stayed. The MD grabbed someone's gun during a stage while he was shooting. Because he went over the time. I've heard he's not a MD anymore.
-
I saw something about the guy running those matches not being around anymore. Don't know the details though.

You're right. I skimmed the article too quickly.

WOW! Risky shot. Had to have been a slug, right?

When can you reapply for pistol permits?

That sucks. You mind me asking your number? I'm 3053x, hoping to get the phone call soon. -

kc17 replied to Lawnmower2021's topic in New Firearms Owners Corner
I usually apply for new ones 2-4 weeks before the 180 days on the current ones are up. Never know when I'll find something. Currently still waiting on the phone call for my CMP 1911. -

SO much better shooting outdoors. I've used the indoor range a few times when weather was especially bad, never been there long. By the way, they've been talking about implementing a written test, too many newer members were getting in trouble and claiming they didn't know the rules. I don't know if they'll have that this month or not. They also do a live fire test. Do not do anything with your gun until you are told to. They've sent people home for walking up to the line and taking out a loaded handgun and other violations.

Bob is the President now. John resigned somewhat abruptly, with no public reason given. I assume there will be a special election for a new VP. A question was brought up at the last meeting which was only given a half-baked answer. If I had to take a wild guess, it would be that Bob will wait till closer to the end of the month so he only has to send out one email.
-
Sorry, I do not know how Bob is doing it now. You sent your application to [email protected]? If you sent it via USPS, I'd send an email to him to confirm he got it.

Following forum rules, I'll take them based on PM response.
-
Yes, they did say as people leave (or get kicked out for rules violations or non-payment) they will allow new members in. We're just not going to go above that number. And prospective members will be contacted based on the submission date of the application.
-
"Sponsors" are not needed. Members get a credit on the next year's dues when a new member puts their name down on the application. I did not have a sponsor when I joined. The bigger challenge is that we put a cap on total active members, 4200 or 4300, I forget which. We're very close to or at that number already.
-
I'll take it if still available.
