  1. Drop down rig is a great way to go for distance ...
  2. Brandy new, never fished, never mounted, 6.3:1 ratio, 12.3ozs, 15lb drag, mono mag, ceramic bearings, a superb casting machine for fishing or distance or both - Ryan Lambert used it last year to set a national record of 867 feet with a 150gm weight. $150 shipped.
  3. Any mono mag should work fine. The slightly tricky part will be figuring out where to drill the hole in the reel's side plate. It's doable, take your time, I've magged more Abu reels and their ilk than I can remember. The 7000's flat side plate is way easier than the 5500/6500 Abu domed side plate reels. After surfcastproshop and ninjatackle went OOB I got monomags from The Rocket Reel Company in the UK ...
  4. You WANT the spool to be aluminum. It's the creation of magnetic eddy currents that will slow down an aluminum spool.
  5. No need to, it's not rimfire and a completely different league for EDC CCW.
  6. All new full kit = Gillo GY 24" IFL riser (1100gms) , Gillo Q3 70"/26lb carbon/foam limb set, Shibuya DX plunger, Spig ZT rest, custom Dynaflight bowstring. The aluminum forged CNC machined Gillo GY riser is fully anodized and its proprietary limb pocket design allows a -25% to +15% weight adjustment = 20lbs up to 30lbs with the Gillo Q3 26lb limb set (this limb set replaces the Gillo GYL wood/glass that normally comes with this kit). This kit and components sells for over $600. A perfect youth/young adult kit for Olympic Recurve or Barebow target events. Recognized and legal for World Archery tournaments world wide. $300 shipped in the USA.
  7. There is nothing like the bad juju a .45ACP bullet of any weight can impart on a perp.
  8. I love 1911s and would never be without one ... they are, IMHO, just classic workhorses.
  9. Love the TX22, one of the most cost effective and Reliable rimfire semi-autos around these dayze - I have one, too. However, I'd still rather carry a .22LR revolver for CCW for all the reasons I've already posted.
  10. I have zero interest in .22 rimfire expansion for CCW. I want DEEP penetration. 10" penetration is not as deep as 14"+ with Fed Punch, as seen in the vid a few posts above.
  11. There's casting for fish and there's casting for distance - two very different objectives and tools. However, there are happy compromises.
  12. Yeah, just use Big Danny as a role model.
  13. As a long time NRA Life Member I can say: about time, nothing less than criminal what WLP and others in the NRA have done - good riddance - others should follow suit and right the good ship NRA back on course to what it once was and should be today. Currently, there are far better 2A orgs than the NRA. How sad.
