    Cold Bore Challenge Q&A Thread

    I feel I get so much more out of this type of challenge. I did the cold bow for a few years and I learn a lot about my limits, but I also get confidence in knowing what I've been successful at before. I missed a mule deer buck at 365 a few years ago and told myself, you need to get better. Now...

    How Much PTO Do You Have?

    Currently at 271 hours ( but put in for 3 weeks off in September) Good thing is I accrue 8.5 hours every 2 weeks so it adds back up quick!! I think I can carry a little over 400 per year. I really try to keep it over 200 in case of an emergency.

    Fishing Key Largo

    Thanks for the input all. Yeah I’ve been to Robbies a few times and it is impressive. Went this past May and did go out on a charter trip. Caught a good amount of snappers and a small shark. The first place I’m staying at has a nice dock so I figured I’d at least try there mornings and evenings...

    financial advise

    This is more and more what I'm leaning towards. I do get the pay outright thought process, but it is so easy to just set up a separate account with monthly transfers. Thank you for the advice everyone.

    idea on how to quiet a Prime Nexus

    Since I see lots of new comments I'll give an update. I went with the Mathews VXR. While I understand that some people may say noise is "ridiculous" or the last thing to look at, I just couldn't get over it. I shot 2 different Primes and they both drew great ( this is what made it a difficult...
