Hey Bud! I hear ya but as I said, their hours just don't jive with mine. I'll call today and speak with Deano but will definitely be hitting Targeteers this evening. Most likely they are concerned about dry fires. "You break it, you bought it" kind of deal. If anyone on here is around tonight and wants to help a stranger with a bow, drop me a PM. I'd love an impartial eye. C

That will load the back of your pants up quick... C

Nice. Very nice. C

I was in a fixed ladder stand. Honestly the experience was awesome. I got to see just how screwy turkeys are when they land. I had a 4 point walk directly below me with a couple of doe. It was just all so cool. But I would like to get something this year. C

I got pissed on all 3 days I went out last season. No blind. I did NOT nod off... C

THanks. I've looked at some single cam bows, I think. I'm planning to hit Targeteers tomorrow evening but really want to at least know what questions to ask before I go in. C

Coming from Huntersfriend.com, I'm 28" DL. C

If I was more comfortable or knew more about it I'd be willing to do that. However, I don't. I'd rather deal with a store that I can use to my advantage even if it costs me a bit. Additionally if you are going to just recommend a bow/brand without backup, please don't. It's useless to me. C

Last season I hunted for the first time. I got skunked but got the bug pretty good. I have a friend with some land upstate so I can rifle hunt up there. I would also like to hunt closer to home which means no rifle. In addition, when my 11year old caught the "Hunger Games" fever, we took her to Targeteers which is 10 minutes from my house and she and we had some lessons. I shot archery in a friend's backyard when I was younger and it all came back to me. It's a lot of fun and very enjoyable. So, I'm looking for a bow. I definitely want a compound bow. I'll be hunting from a stand or, possibly a blind. Whitetail, maybe turkey if I can get motivated. I'm not looking for the "Zippity Doo-Daa-Super-Duper-Fastest-Shooting-Laser-Bow" just a smooth drawing, relatively quiet, moderately priced machine that will let me enjoy the hunt and the fact that I'm outdoors. Something that is middle of the road "A to A" and in the 50-70lb range sounds good to me. Bows I've looked at: Mission Blaze Mission Craze Parker Kodiak Parker 30+ A Hoyt of some sort An Elite, which was WAAYYYYYYY out of my price range currently. I'd like to stick around 750ish+arrows if that's reasonable. I'm happy to do less. I only mention those bows as I've either seen them in person or researched them online. I don't have any brand loyalty and as long as it will perform well over it's lifespan I really don't care about labels or names. Any advice on cam profiles, brace heights, etc that anyone can knowledgeably give will be appreciated. If you would like to recommend a specific bow and JUSTIFY YOUR RESPONSE that would be wonderful as well. Additionally, let me know your thoughts re: buying a bow that can be user set-up w/o a press and setting it up myself. I'm kinda handy but might require some assistance in that department unless I'm mis-interpreting the steps. Thanks. Christopher

I took a quick look and didn't find one. However Brownell's has their version in stock, and as a bonus, it's 50 dollars less. http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/rifle-tools/barrel-tools/ar-15-m16-barrel-extension-torque-tools-prod27452.aspx C

Because you're mildly insane. In a good way. C

Mipafox, thank you for the explanation. That is much more helpful to me than your initial remark. Again, this is all mental masturbation for me as I live in this God forsaken state and can't own ant of it anyway. C

Thank you Vlad. Great write up. C

I prefer buying quality parts and assembling myself. Additionally, I'm trying to learn. It's not for everybody I understand.

Example? Pics? I'm curious how this can all help me. I do get a bit of excessive muzzle movement with my AR. I don't have a brake (and don't really want one). I have a Mega upper, MidwestPX BCG, Mcgowen 16" barrel/target crowned, standard spring and buffer in a ACE skeleton stock. C

Hunh... who knew. Thanks. The AR tuning stuff is very interesting to me. Not as interesting as a 1911, but it is interesting. C

Ok. Thank you. So, what's the fix? My initial reaction would be a reduced power spring but I'm usually wrong. I guess I just don't understand the relationship between gas, gas block/tube, key, spring and buffer. If it's over pressurized, what gets changed and to what and most importantly... why? FWIW, if anyone ever wonders why I buy my nice stuff from Ty, it's these insights that he provides all over this forum. He is a wealth of knowledge and has never steered me wrong on a purchase. C

Don't discount reloading. 9mm brass can be had cheap or free. Bullets are not a lot of money especially if you are not averse to shooting lead. Primers and powder are starting to loosen up. Initial investment is a bit tall, however it will pay itself off especially if you begin branching into other calibers. For me, it's probably my favorite part of the hobby. C

Obviously being from NJ this is a moot point, however... What's the deal with running suppressed? Why and what does it change so severely that guns won't run in both suppressed and un-supressed? As some might know (Ty, Old School) I'm not a huge AR guy but I do have one (with one more on the way) and in reading national boards the suppressor issues always pop up. It makes me curious (and jealous). This thread is simply to gain further knowledge, nothing more. C (I added a pic of my "Dream" AR.

Retracted. Gonna start another thread.

It looks like they are holding off only until ALL the comments are in. Nothing has really changed.

Thank God no. And, this is the gunsmithing forum You need to call Foster/Caspian directly or email Gary. They were running a sale on them. The frame is really nice. It was 170 to the door for this one. Their website is pretty useless. Thanks and I hope you're right.

I have a JMT sight pusher. PM me if you want to use it. Christopher
