Gotta remember PPE when opening gifts! 🤣

What bow did you get?

Absolutely! But I’d rather burn my 75’ ArborPlex than my 200’ Stable Braid!

When you’re going to run it natural crotch and burn it up anyway, why NOT use ArborPlex? I’m perfectly satisfied with it. Been using it for 35-ish years now. I use 1/2” for up to 500#-600# stuff, and 5/8” when it gets bigger. I have a 75’ hank that I keep hanging on my side when it’s not in use...

I still use it nearly every day....:D It will lower a limb just as well as the most expensive rope out there.

And to post it just three posts after Rich mentioned getting into bowhunting….

I have two Mathew's bows, and I know some folks who have Hoyts. I don't figure you'll go wrong with either. Just be aware that they're about like computers/electronics....by the time you get home with it, there'll be a new model available. :lol:

Not that I heard. That be one “complaint” with diesel engines. You can’t hear as much other stuff as you would with a quiet gasser. That Cummins purrs loudly.

I was headed home yesterday with the gooseneck loaded behind me when I started smelling something getting hot. I was passing a log truck on the RR tracks, and assumed it was his brakes I was smelling. About a half mile further, I was still smelling it. Then I felt something off in the steering...

Lots could go wrong with that…if he doesn’t already, he’ll soon have Preparation-H on Subscribe-and-Save…🤣

I’ve used several braids, etc with it, but found 1/2” Treemaster to be the best. I’ve tried a couple of other 1/2” 3-strands, but Treemaster is firmer/harder than the others and works the best. I don’t know that the Maasdam is built anywhere near strong enough to make use of the strength of 5/8”...

Faulty crimp?

But the more you watch it, the more convinced you are that this is not “their first rodeo”…. I wager sketchy is their MO.

Looks like even if it had worked out as planned, he might be buying a new bucket truck instead of a new skid steer….
