2. Refresh your screen 2-3 times just to make sure you don't have a new number by your bell.
3. Insist in 14 degree weather that your friend stop caping his elk so you can take some wound photos for Rokslide.
4. Your wife has become best friends with the mail lady because of the Rokslide Classifieds.
5. You keep a Venmo QR photo handy.
6. You constantly hope FORM gets on to share some of his experience.
7. You understand TYD, SPF, and Rokslide Special.
8. You are irritated as hell that SWFA's are out of stock.
9. You contemplate becoming a T084 Dealer.
10.You refer anyone who will listen to the .223 for bear, deer, elk, and moose thread.
11. Proudly acknowledge to your wife that you are now a WKR.
12. Dream of getting your own BOAL.
13. Race to start a 25 cal for Big Game Thread @ 3:06 AM because FORM lets you know Hornady is dropping a High BC .25 Cal bullet.

Feel free to add to the list.

We are hear for you. You are not alone.

Bought a used SWFA 10x yesterday just so I could feel like I belonged. I don't even target shoot except to check zero

26. You know that "ill take it" in the thread itself needs to happen before an "ill take it" PM.
27. You keep a fresh WKR sticker in your glove compartment in case you buy a new bow case after work.

I need to have my wife make some WKR stickers. A WKR hat that says "Bullets matter more then headstamps." is definitely on my list as well.

Send It.

 

[Rooggvc]

It's going to happen.

Guilty as charged and proudly display my WKR sticker on the back window of my '19 RAM.

You check the Classifieds and New Posts every night when you get in bed, delaying much needed sleep for an hour or more, despite being tired after a long day.

 

[nobody]

Yup, definitely an addict...

"Hi everyone, I'm nobody..."
"Hi nobody..."

When do the rehab meetings start?

You are constantly in analysis paralysis based on @Formidilosus latest post. Just when you think you can make a decision on your semi-custom build, he just has to inject a new variable. All kidding aside, Form and others on here have revolutionized my thoughts on cartridge capability, shooting, and hunting as well as what is practical and proven.

Amen to that. My eyes have definitely been opened. It's been a great resource, and a fun place to communicate with some like minded people.

I wish I could like this 10,000 times. My thought processes have progressed and grown so much since joining this forum, and I feel like my knowledge has grown at an exponential rate. It's really a great place to hang out.

The day started with all kinds of plans to abstain. That was short lived. Now I am down the 25 cal rabbit hole and falling fast.

I’m 0/13 but still think Rokslide is a decent place…;-)

I see you made it down the rabbit hole also. I like it.

#14- You offer to stay in the car and “watch the kids”, but you really want to check up on your Rokslide threads and news feed.

( I might have a problem. )

KRG Bravo puts you at about $1725 all said and done, a Mesa Precision would put you at about 2 grand all in. Lots of good options, looks like it's going to be a heck of a build!

EDIT: are you going to twist it tight and run the heavies in it? Might be kinda fun...
