Oiy….my very old and very used Warn ATV winch has gotten to where it is noisy like it has a bad bearing and every so often it feels like the planetary gear slips.

So HF had a sale on their 2500lb remote control ATV winch for $59. I got one to swap it out. Little did I know that there isn’t ANY uniformity in small winch patterns or roller fairlead patterns either.

Much foul language, sweat, one broken Snapon aircraft bit (18” and probably $20 😠) and 2 sincere prayers later…..

*Note* the steel on Polaris winch mount plates is hardened by elves in Middle Earth and could stop blacktip….

Anyway, the ole 2001 Sportsman has recovery capabilities again and I need therapy and possibly some alcohol.

Remote control winches are the cat’s azz.

Proper assembly for pre-fit on ARC CDG action?

Well I'm glad you asked.
Real, real soon you'll have a place off off Highway 37 a couple miles south of SR 60.
It's called Bone Valley Range.
Initially, it'll have a 500yd range and a bunch of pistol bays that will allow run and gun stuff.
We're still working on the purchase of the adjacent property which will allow for a mile.
I'll be out there working tomorrow.

This is an old layout design from quite a while back, but it's still fairly close.

If you shoot clays, Polk Sporting Clays has been up and ruining since January.

Lots of changes have happened since these photos were taken.

I live in Brandon and shot at JTAC before they closed. I use Mannate Gun Club for the 1000. If you do get the mile I’ll be joining as soon as possible. Can’t wait to hear more as I have heard rumors from others in the business.

The Sig P320 issues are well documented at this point, and it's a tolerance issue. Just because one pooptuber's one sample size offering doesn't have the issue doesn't mean jack shit.

And, because rules.

Just for shiggles

I know right….

I don’t have to have my poop shoot invaded to know getting in a hot tub with Diddy ain’t smart and I have no issue acknowledging the problem 😅

This might make for an interesting discussion... I want to talk about minor league hockey jersey's and their prices.

It was like that for the Tulsa Oilers (ECHL) hockey team. $300 for an "authentic" jersey last year at a game I went to. I didn't even go to the souvenir shop to look at them, I just heard the announcer claiming the "great deal" with the word "only" right before the $300 price tag.

Somebody did an analysis and determined that if jersey sales are only 60% of potential, but at double the price... then they are money ahead.

Zeiss Pro Series Tripods just Landed

Zeiss is starting to play a dangerous game with their brand.

Tripods branded Zeiss (but that are really Chinese-made) aren’t a huge huge deal, but slapping their storied made-in-Germany brand onto even quite good asian scopes is just asking to disappear their company under the waves of low(er) cost manufacturing.

Example: when Leica makes their non-core products in Portugal, it makes me wince. Like, why am I paying German prices then? But, my internal monologue goes, at least it’s made in Europe.

If you’re going to make stuff in Asia, then you better lower your prices way down or bring something extra extra special if you’re going to insist on near-German pricing.

Maybe the S3 line does this, never looked through one. But they are sorta dancing on a razor…

The writing was on the wall a few months ago when Zeiss announced they were ending all production of sports optics (binoculars, spotting scopes, rifle scopes) at their Wetzlar, Germany facility in 2026. They're certainly going to leverage the Zeiss name and "German Optics Engineering Excellence" tradition and reputation going forward... But on sports optics products they no longer manufacture in Germany.

They never disclosed the reason for closing the Wetzlar facility, but I'm guessing market share and profit margin played a significant part in the decision.

Kind of sad after 150ish years of history and manufacturing in Wetzlar.

My kid took a dump in the grocery store. By the pole beans and the fruits and vegetables. The streaker didn't see the pile, stepped square in the middle of it and cracked his head on the floor. I looked over at Ethel and she was laughing her MFing head off.
Okay, Ray Stevens…

This might make for an interesting discussion... I want to talk about minor league hockey jersey's and their prices.

“ The Rush” is the local hockey team in Rapid City. Not a contender this last season at all. BUT they auctioned off players jerseys a few times over the season and they went for anywhere between 900.00 and 3,000 per jersey. Charity event I know, but one dude was high bidder for 3 of them at one auction.
So you’re getting off cheap relatively speaking.

EPA rolling back regs?

Specifically

“will revise DEF guidelines for manufacturers of heavy trucks and off-road equipment”

I’m guessing “Heavy Trucks” is not inclusive of passenger vehicles.

Well would be nice to know the GVW they are actually talking about ? Knowing the usual gov. backhanded double-talk . If this only applies to heavier than 10-k GVW the average guy is still being fucked in the ass .

Fuck you hillary, no one cares what you think. Do as you're told, put on the orange suit, walk over to the van and get inside.......

Does that cunt pedo hitler bitch have nominating authority???

Ukraine war Bullshit.

Russia was Shelling across border into to Ukraine in 2014 too. People were aware, saying no one cared is an over simplification. They accepted it because they were trying to eliminate the resistance that had formed and being supported by Russia, who was also shelling. Hell, they shot down a 777 and killed 300 civilians.

This whole thing is a shit show.

Coups and wars have consequences. I personally just want to see it ended.

Maybe we can get fertilizer prices back down so the cost of food will drop

The best thing/way to end it would be for Trump to tell the faggot gender bender to sit his ass at the table and negotiate or the weapons and money aren't getting sent. But Congress is doing an end run

Shoot kid in the back of head -pay $4.9 million settlement and all is good !

Yeah. Same class of people. Out of touch oligarchs.


You think the original post fits the fleeing felon definition ?
Do you understand equality under the law , laws apply to everyone equally ? Cut outs for special animals are unconstitutional. Period
Awe hell nah. That ☝️Looks an awful lot like murder, but it doesn’t matter what I think now. Opinions don’t mean didly. Only thing that matters is who can afford the most expensive lawyer.

You guys blame cops for the screwed up system. Attorneys are right in the middle of it all screwing things up coming and going. Don’t matter what color they wear. Lawyers help get murderers (not just cops) off Scott free all the time but you guys never look under that rock.

Too busy smoking weed in dad’s basement listening to rage against the machine I guess.

Lawyers are the oligarch's that throw bricks in the system then hide their hands, but for some reason you guys only blame the police, not the ass hats helping ALL murderers skip out on justice
