how about making one of those signs that say, "NEED HELP-WILL WORK FOR FOOD" then spend the weekend standing at a busy intersection and see how much money you collect. I have always wanted to try this. If you could take your dog with you(on a leash of course) I bet you would be able to buy the new bow after just a couple days. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I saw this old guy park his brand new caddy up the street and then walk down the road to an intersection and do exactly what you are talking about He even had raggedly looking clothes on You could probably get away with it :D

Check out Bass Pro on line because sometimes they run a special of 6 payments with no interest. The good thing is you get the bow now.

The 355 felt better balanced when I shouldered to me. I don't like the camo rail. After cocking the 380 a few times I knew what bow I wanted. Had a cheek piece already and had a set of tinks stops made up. Depends if you want the speed or not. Me I wanted the smaller package bow speed was a byproduct.

I'm the KING of dry fires, and Excal1 can back me up on that :lol: Early onset ummm, what were we talking about :lol: Anyway, I plan to keep Evileen, so I won't have an extra cheek piece, and I need the Guardian, the REDS, IDK?? But I have made up my mind, 380! Now, The scope will be up for sale, new, and unopened! Don't know what it's going for yet. I have three scopes in mind, and I'm leaning toward the Leupold Crossbones. I also like one from Nikon, and Bushnell. I'm probably not going to stay with the Diablo bolte either. Might get some of them BEA Executioners from Boo. Xcal1 uses them, and he can split a shadow at 50 yards. :lol:

Minor setback of about a week, friggin edger/trimmer puked today, there goes $150. :shock: Now if it was winter, no problem. :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the input.
Take the plunge :lol: its going to be on your mind till you do :lol: who needs a trimmer :wink:

xcaliber wrote:Well, I made up my mind to get a Matrix 355. I don't have the money for one, but that is not going to stop me! "I have a plan" Maybe not a good plan, but a plan no doubt. Here are the details:
1. Sell my Hoyt, I know this is stupid but I want one.
2. Sell some tools, again, stupid!
3. Sell one climbing treestand, not so stupid.
4.Sell more strings, again, not too stupid.
5. Sell muzzle loader, might be stupid???
6. Use credit card, real stupid. Wife would definitely catch that one! LOL.
7. Sell Ibex, dumb, dumb, dumb, idea!
If you have any ideas, good, or dumb, feel free to add them.
Can you tell I want a Matrix?
I cashed in a retirement plan a couple years ago to get my new Hoyt. Showed wife the new bow and told her I cashed in a small GIC. She said "awww that is your retirement". I told her "if I wait till then I won't be able to pull the stupid thing back." She laughted.
