No affiliation to the seller, but this looks like a good deal and is in your price range. http://cgi.ebay.com/Hoyt-Vectrix-XT500-Compound-Bow_W0QQitemZ170441399512QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item27af195cd8

Raul, Come to California. You have an open invitation any time.

So sorry for your loss.

Amen.

Here's a couple options.

I could not agree with you more. As mentioned in my post I was pretty embarrased about the whole thing. I've been in a couple situations that could have escalated, but it is absolutely not worth it. This particular case, it was self defense.

One of the members of a board I moderate (Teamspeed.com) was sucker punched last night. it brought back memories of the only fight I've actually been in. I dont think any of us ever expect to be in a bar fight. About 6 years ago a group of friends and I were at a restaurant/bar owned by one of my clients. We had just left a black tie event where I was one of the sponsors. There was a guy there at the bar giving my girlfriend the eye. No big deal, happened alot, but he was starting to make my girl feel uncomfortable. We were seated next to the bar, when the owner came by to talk to us. I asked him to do a shot with me, which he accepted. There was a small spot at the bar so I got up to order the shots. I immediately noticed the goon and two of his buddies approach me at the bar. The restaurant manager (female) was btween the goons and I. The guy's friend got in my face, asked me why I was giving his friend the evil eye. I chuckled and told him to chill out. The guy took a step back as if to charge me. I hold a black belt in TKD, and as he came towards me a very simple front kick to the chest put the guy into the booth that was directly behind him. I don't know who was more bewildered, the guy or his pansy friends as I then turned to them expecting them to come at me. They did nothing but stand there. At this point all of my friends saw what was happening, and got up to come help. I was honestly pretty embarrased about the whole thing. The restaurant was full of people I worked with or worked for me. I apologized to the owner, who told me it wasnt necessary since he saw that I had obviously not started the fight. The three guys were all thrown out of there. I never saw them in there again. It was pretty funny at the end, all of my friends were telling me I did the guy a favor, as he now had a Gucci shirt thanks to the bottom of my shoe being imprinted on his white shirt. ;D

Congratulations to one of the guys I respect the most on this board. Here's to you and your wife, may your life be blessed together!

Thre is one that I know of. It measures 6'9" and is rated to 3.5 oz. Unforunatley, it does not meet your price point. Megabass Mephisto.

I put in my address and got this message. 'Street level photos are not available for this point'

It should come in a couple weeks. I can't wait to get it!

Oh! Oh! I know the answer! Pick me! ;D

Ask him when he's coming back to Clear Lake.

That makes 2 of us.

I've been very happy with my Airflo. I've used the same hat in Brazil for the last several years.

Drop away is what has been suggested. Im going with a 60-70 lb bow. I have a couple clients with ranches that are 10,000+ acres. Looking forward to doing some exploring.

Depends who Im fishing with. If I'm fishing with dad, mom packs us home made burritos in one of those small soft sided coolers that keeps food warm. Even the tortillas are home made. Always have to have a bag of Doritos, some cokes and a couple beers. If Im fishing with Gidget, she makes breakfast burritos, cold cut sandwiches for lunch, as well as pbj's. I look forward to the food as much as the fishing. ;D

Matt Davis. Otterrods. The guy is on another level. He's the Jedi Master of rod builders. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1264371880

I'm more likely to spot bigfoot than obtain a CCW in the state of California. If I had a CCW, I'd carry.

It would be virtually impossible to coordinate and rig a team sport, much less the NFL. I know a couple of the players from the 49ers personally. I don't believe for one second this could happen, with any team. Boxing on the other hand, is a completely different can of worms.

I did finally choose a bow. I went ahead and ordered a Hoyt Carbon Matrix in black. Also going with the Boss Hogg sight. Still looking at a couple different rests, as well as stabilizers. I'll post pictures once I get it all sorted out.

Epic!

I hope to God this isnt a joke. http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,,26677869-3102,00.html

What an awesome win, not only for the team but for the city.
