    rant...
    Eagle Archery Supply in Marshall WI. Do not use, do not buy.
    Originally ordered a Spott Hogg Fast Eddie XL .19 (in left hand) on January 6. Got it for $249.99 no tax/shippling w/ first time buyer 10% discount.
    THAT'S HOW THEY GET YOU!

    Was informed 4-6 week back order. OK...

    6 weeks later, a couple phone calls go to VM and no call backs. I send email. No reply. Wait 2-3 days, call Spott Hogg directly and they say that there is a back order but it's more like 2-4 weeks as they make the LH orders as they come in. OK, so I call Eagle again and get through. Very nice man apologetic, says "somehow the order was not placed" with Spott Hogg even though he can see the order in their system. Says he will personally place the order that day and give me a $25 credit on anything I want to order in the future. OK, people make mistakes so I say that I won't cancel the order. I start looking for info online and see that going back several years, Eagle has a reputation for crappy customer service but good prices so this seems par for the course and I don't get too wrapped around the axle about it. At that time, even turkey was several weeks away and this is for my elk rig so it's not like I needed it "right now."

    4 weeks later, still nothing and the website still says order processing. I call again, and talk to a woman who says my order was sent to Spott Hogg the day after I spoke with the man and that the order was received and should be shipped "by the end of the week." I say as long as they had confirmation that Spott Hogg received the order I was good to go.

    2 weeks later, still no Fast Eddie. I go onto the Eagle Archery website, it says "down for maintenance"...uh-oh. Their FB and twitter pages are still up though. I don't do either so can't actually message them. The message on their website says for questions email them at [email protected], so I do. I also call several times and get the same VM prompts as previous. I give it a week, same issue w/website and no replies to email. Needless to say; I just got off the phone w/ credit card company and they are going to take care of me and refund my money.

    Lucky I just found another Fast Eddie XL on Ebay for $270. So all in all I'm only paying $20 more and I'm out 2 months of practice (I'm scheduled to shoot the Extreme Archery Challenge on June 8.)

    Not sure if they are on vacation or out of business; but word to the wise- if they come back online avoid Eagle Archery!

    we're already there. Been there for over a year- prior to DJT taking oath of office. SF fighting ISIS and "advisory" roles to FSA and likely the YPG.

    I don't see how we put regular troops on the ground there w/o going to war against Russia. This wouldn't be a proxy war like Viet Nam. This would be direct force on force. Russia is not going to let anti-Assad forces take over.

    If we are not going to go to war w/ Russia in support of Ukraine then I don't see how we go head to head w/ Russia over Syria. The government of Ukraine is pro-Western and wants to be a member of the EU and potentially NATO. The majority of Ukrainian people want the support of NATO-backed forces and to remain part of the West. The Assad/Syrian government is and wants none of those things. We have no business there other than to mitigate war crime atrocities; and it's a little too little too late for that.

    I think (and hope) this was more of a warning to the NORKs and Iranians (and by extension Russia and China) that we mean business.

    Well first time ever I snowblowed the driveway yesterday, walked 4 miles doing it. In the past my neighbor used his skid loader with a blower to clear it. I always appreciated it but the guy got weird this year, he came over and blew the driveway on a snowfall where it was not needed it, he screwed up a drive chain and said he would never do my driveway again. The guy was always very hurt that I hunt the deer so I was respectful and would not take a shot at a deer that came off his property heck I have not shot at a deer that was facing towards his property because I figured it would bolt in that direction. Well neighbor I am done caring about things like that I no longer care that your feelings might be hurt by seeing blood on the snow or seeing a dead deer I will do what is legal on my property without being concerned with what you think.

    I'm so triggered right now.

    I may be offline for a while as I have to protest this.

    I did...I was gonna put a parenthetical question mark after the gender pronoun but at some point snowflakes are going to be triggered by even presuming that gender presumption is triggering.

    I based my presumption of gender based on the pearl necklace- something seldom seen on snowflakes as they are usually clutching them tightly as they wail about the systemic injustices and inequity of us troglodytes.

    I work with a gender confused person. A lady who thinks she's a dude who likes chicks. Why can't she just be a lesbian like normal people? ;)

    that's called penis envy. Freud was right...
    although if you were to proclaim that to "him" "he" would probably file a lawsuit against you.

    more mothereffing 9th Circuit insanity.
    So now trannies are a "protected class" and the federal government must do all it can to protect and promote them.
    In other words, if your 6 year old tomboy decides she wants to be a boy, their school will do everything they can to support and promote that; regardless of what you think.
