His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors, so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic and each God given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watch and tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report I'm Mark Kornke I'm Darryl Sibych.

It's like daylight out there right now, because the sun's not quite set either. What's it like in your neck of the woods, and what is the date today, sir? Well, today is November the 13th. Lucky 13. And our temperature is 33 degrees and the last I saw that was cloudy, trying to clear off. It's supposed to be in the upper 40s tomorrow so we escaped another one. We got about four to six inches of snow around the area depending on where you're at and that's about the size of it right now. Question on that one real quick. Did it stick or is it gone? Did the snow stay? This is our second snowfall we had. This one is melting because the sun did make it out and peek through the clouds a couple of different times. It is melting and it isn't sticking. This is our second snowfall. Our first one was about 8 inches and that was about two weeks ago. I remember as I went deer hunting that morning, it was Senior Citizens Day for three days, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I went out to a friend of mine and I popped myself a dough. First thing in the morning, well not first thing, about 9.30 in the morning. My day's hunting was done for that day. But I've got bonus tags because we have so many deer in Pennsylvania that not only do we not sell out on the regular tags, but they sell us bonus tags. Then I got bonus tags for the bonus tags because they didn't sell out all the bonus tags. So my son and I are trying to fill the freezer and he got one just the other day in the season. Power rifle season to command him with guat and... Let me ask you a question. I know that that Brown Best does a fine job. Are you using the best for taking down Bambi or have you used one of the other Black Powders? Well, to tell you the truth, I didn't use neither one. I borrowed a gun. My buddy that I hunt on, property that I hunt on, lonely one, seems how I'm not allowed to own one anymore. So even though I have paid my so-called debt to society, I am still not recognized as a full-fledged citizen anymore because technically I guess I'm not supposed to vote or be able to vote and not supposed to own a firearm. So, in that case, if that's the case, then I shouldn't have to be required to pay taxes, then should I? Hmm, new fly. So, yeah, I borrowed one from my buddy and, and, it was a comedy of errors, but one shot, that's all it takes. And I, the last hour, I tuned in the last hour and I heard you talking about chippy monks. And, I'll tell you what, you want to get practice and just find out how good you are with a rifle, get a .22. You can go out there in the woods and sit and see how you make out. You will find that after you've been there for a while and get to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 100 that they will vacate the area whenever you show up. But as soon as you leave, they're right back. But I do have a question. If anybody knows out there, how many chipmunk skins does it take to make a chipmunk fur coat? I would say almost a hundred. Well, I promised my wife that I would make her a chipmunk burr coat with all the chipmunk hides that we got. Couple burr of the chipmunk. Well, I've got it figured out based on the average size chipmunk that it's going to take pretty near 500 of them. So what are those little ermine stoles that work so much, right? Yes. Everybody thinks, why would you do a chipmunk stole? Well, have you ever seen an ermine stole, guys? Remember, every one of those little stupid tails represents an ermine. So you figure it out when you see these guys wearing these ermine stoles and there's little black tails all over the thing? Well, each one of those is the rumpest end of a rodent. That is the best way to describe it. It was like mink isn't much better, although mink has a little more tube to it, a little more length. But not much. But I found out too that chipmunk meat is pretty tasty. It don't taste wild. Well, it feeds off all of the best of the grains we can provide and whatever else you can steal from the house or the yard. That makes sense. That's like corn fed deer here in Michigan. Well, it's a guinea flavor. No, it doesn't. Not down here. I don't know how it is up in Michigan, but I know people here just ignore the fact that they're supposed to be protected. What, Jim Munch? Yes. Oh, come on. Actually, I was kind of mean several years ago. See, we had a couple of neighbors that were really being a problem to the neighborhood. So we have the corn burner. And so I would leave the corn burner barrel, one of the corn barrels open that was almost empty. It was guaranteed. They smelled that from a mile away, people. I am serious. They will try to desperately get into the yard. If they make the gambit and get through the cats, which is the first thing they've got to do, then you'll find them in the barrel in the morning, which I did. I never killed any of them. Although it's amazing how high a rodent like that can jump when they're trying to get the hell away from a coffee can. We'd get them in the coffee can, I'd take them down and I'd make the point of releasing them right there in the front yard of those people who were a problem. If you had to release them because the people were being a problem while you're fighting them up, they'd make a good barbecue. Oh yeah, well the thing is that in this case the colony is thriving even as we speak down there and they don't know what to do with them and I really don't care. So again, it kind of served two purposes. And of course it created other frustrations and progressively created consternation and with one of the boobies we have in the community. that is a leftist and they can embrace the chipmunks now. Embrace them. Embrace the chipmunkness. Yes, be one with the chipmunks. Well, you probably, you probably, if he has a real problem with chipmunks, tell him to take and spear his whole body with peanut butter and go out and stand amongst them. Yeah, that's right. Lay down on the front porch for a bit. Don't worry. They'll show up. I'm gonna, go ahead, Carl. That's one problem, another problem. Yeah, exactly. Oh, that's what I did. Oh, I don't know how many trips. We always kind of coordinated. So if we make a trip into town, we take the coffee can with the exacerbated chipmunk. And it's amazing how much energy a chipmunk has in a number 10 can when they're penned up. When you open it up, it's got a lot more spring power than one of those fake springy bugs that comes out of the tomato can. You know what I mean? You know, you see the open the can and it springs out and you're supposed to be shocked. Well, the chipmunk's a lot more impressive, but I've seen him do 35 feet out of the can. Oh, it's like a bullet. Yeah, a chipmunk bullet. It's really neat. Give me a hand, Nancy. He can be right along the side of the road. You open the can up and he'll make it past the cut of the grass and be hitting the high ground even as they roll, tumble, and head on down the road. Just kind of fun. Uh oh, boy, we got a lot of background here for some reason again. I don't know what that is. I was going to ask you, have you had any problems with your calling line the last couple of minutes? That noise, Dad, seems to be coming off of that line. We don't usually, when I was up there, we didn't usually use that number as a primary source to connect. That was like a backup and it's not the best cable. Yeah, but it hasn't done this until today. Of course, we've got more cold now, too. We've got, you know, it's gotten, temperatures have dropped. So it might be seeing more of a freeze, maybe something we'll check with a connection to. Otherwise, it's been working flawlessly. We haven't had any problem with it, so I can't complain. Anyway, the reason I was asking about whether you were having some problems with your connections up there, last week when I tried to call in, I couldn't get through. The number would go through and it would say, star six to unmute yourself. When I did that, there was nothing. I did that about before. We did have a couple of times where the conference line was down for maintenance. It was good. And it's been good since. Okay. I've tried a couple weeks in a row there to get through and couldn't make it. It's probably what was happening then. But I checked it this afternoon though. And I was making it through a fine septet. maybe i'll make it tonight and i figured if i didn't make it tonight then uh... then those nasty feds are listening in and they don't want me to talk to bark well everything is again don't forget the bad guys are in high gear trying to cause problems all over the country we can assume that they'll try to do all kinds of unique stuff to you know i don't look too direct sometimes uh... i'll tell you before going farther though because red towards the bottom of our break You have been busy. So how was the last gun show and where are you going to be next? Well, the last gun show was a real small one down in the Benango down there at the Benango County Fairgrounds. It was a small show. I did all right for the size show, but the next one I'm going to be at is, my wife just handed me a whole bunch of flyers here. Okay, next one I'm going to be at is next weekend, not this weekend, but the weekend after. I will be in Hermonage, Pennsylvania at the Hickory VFW social hall on Route 62 down in Hermonage, Pennsylvania. It used to be Hickory, Pennsylvania, and they changed their name. I can't figure out why. And then the next one after that will be Thanksgiving weekend. In Ashtabule County, the sportsman's show at the Captain Rose Party Center. And that will be the last show at that particular facility because the new owners have become, well, appear to be sort of anti-gun and we're just honoring the contract. So we will be moving starting in January to the fairgrounds. not far from Ashtabula, but anyway, this will be the 30th and December the 1st at the Catherine Rose Party Center in Ashtabula, Ohio. It's North Bend Road, by the way, for those. And when they do move to the fairgrounds, it will be about a 200 table show, give or take a few. And then they have another one that's listed here. That's the new one. There was another one. Jamestown, Pennsylvania, on December the I will not be making that one because I will be out in the woods in the annual Pennsylvania militia deployment to make deployment actively engaging moving targets. like I said, a two week training exercise. A selfie and experienced aggressor on the ground designed to create both effective infiltration and exfiltration operations at high speeds over rough terrain. This individual and these individuals are well camouflaged and are adept at deception in the field. The aggressor will be strongly engaged and will be decimated over a period of a couple of weeks. Am I correct? Yes. Yeah, approximately if the training goes as prescribed, there will probably be somewhere between 300 to 350,000 casualties on their part. Oh, the horror. Oh, the inhumanity. Will the horror never end? Will the terror never cease? I hope that part never ends. Then I really get back to Mother Nature and cannibalize the carcass. The interesting thing about that is everything is used including that mat. We save the mat and put it in the little can so next year we can use that mat to call the next one in. Now, another thing here real quick, it is Bambai season. As Don was pointing out, of course, we're coming up on our season here in Michigan, too. So, guys, we're looking at a lot of infantrymen out in the field and mass. Interestingly enough, most of our shops, at least our box stores here, were cleared out of whatever ammunition they actually had left on the shelf because of deer season. There have been a few odd-and-end boxes of things that have shown up at the Meyers. that are kind of interesting. I think it's because it's what we can get, what they can get. It's what we get so we'll take it. It's fascinating. I've already seen a box disappear, but 300 Blackout is something that nobody expects to see at Meyers. They had two boxes and those are gone. So, somebody said, wow, look at that, it's my ammo, and it disappeared. So, we still pretty much have empty cabinets at the Meyers with the exception of, I think, a grand total of five boxes, 20 round boxes of ammunition. I didn't even know closely at what it was, I just was walking by and said, hmm, that's a new Remington box, and hmm, that looks like two Winchester boxes. And other than that, that means like a whole section of this aisle is just barren. Well, I buy, I get ammunition through several different jobbers out there and there has been no resupply since January of any of what we call the standard hunting calibers and that would be anything from 6.5 Carcano to Big Boy 7mm Remington Magnum and everything in between. Nobody seems to have it, even including the .358 or the .300 Winchester mag, nothing. Well, it's what I said, as they focused on, and this is the problem, we're now into the season, the deer season. I mentioned this earlier in the year. Guys, if everybody started to crank out particular calibers to try and make up for production, they also stated uncategorically they were not going to change out to the other calibers that are unique. And there are several companies that printed what it is they would not be producing. And lo and behold, now here we are into the deer season and what you got you got, you scour up what you can. If you're using a different load, I can't emphasize enough. Hopefully you got three or four boxes because you need to test site the point of impact if you're using a unique ground that you haven't used because you couldn't get your normal load. It's especially critical because again, you don't want Bambi getting over the ridge. Also, again, you might have to turn that weapon on a black uniform, Knuckle Dragon Moose. And if that happens, well, we don't want to make any errors. You want to make sure you keep that bullet down on the groin area. You want to hit first time every time. So that's especially a critical component there. We are almost to the bottom of the hour. So for everybody out there listening, it is weapons. Once again, we've got Darryl with us from Pennsylvania. And you guys still have snow on the ground. We have a little dusting. and wherever the sun has been able to beat down on it, we're back to grass. But wherever there's shadow, we've got snow. So it's starting to go. It's dropping in temperature too, which is expected. Really clear tonight. We've got a bright moon. You do not need a flashlight outside tonight, Daryl. So, definitely going to be clear. Well, you don't even need night vision either. Oh, no. Hey, by the way, real quick on that note too, but from another direction, wow, this doesn't have anything to do with night vision. We mentioned the Brown Bess. You have, how many flints per gun would you typically carry if you were looking at a flintlock weapon for you? Say, as a game getter, you still want more flints. In fact, you want to try and keep them on the shelf, don't you? Yeah, I... I have in my possible bag when I'm going to the field with them, I carry a minimum of five flints. Five brand new flints. And we're gonna go to break. I'll tell you what, we're gonna carry up on that in just a moment. It is Weapons Wednesday, bottom of the hour, second hour, Intel Report. That was Poker Face and we are back. This is the Intel Report Live. and You poke a hole in the can, put a lid on it, and you put it in the fire until it stops smoking, and then you take it out. You don't open it until it has a chance to cool, and it turns the cotton into char cloth. And the reason for the char cloth is you put the flint in there, and you take this piece of steel and strike it, and that spark will start the char cloth to glow. Then you have what we call a bird's nest made of tinder of some sort. I always carried some dry hemp rope, turned it into like a bird's nest and working it around and gently blowing on it to get the cloth to burn. It will ignite that char cloth. or not to charcoils, but the bird's nest and you put that down and you put your other tinder on top of it until you build a fire. I used to be in my heyday, I could have a fire going in 60 seconds, but I'm a little rusty because I don't practice that much. But I always carry them with me because when all else fails, your matches get wet, you lose your matches, you flit and steal. And then with the, I do with them is when I get back, depending on how many I have, I'll sit down and I'll nap them. The Brown Bess and the Charleyville and the early Springfield's that the US made all used the same size flint and they were about an inch and a quarter in length and about over a period of time and you shoot them, they wear down, you can down so far to make what have you, then you can take them out, clamp them down to the next small, Pennsylvania long rifle for example. If anybody's bought any of the kits or the CBA rifles, they have about 3-8 inch wide so you can map it down and use it. But in the meantime, you can also, like I said, carry it, burning fire, and you get, depending on your wind itself, you get up to 50-something shots without having to worry, so all you've got to do is, like in the movies, end off and pour it down on the charge on top of it. And, which brings me to mind, during the American Revolution, you know what? The only physical requirement a British soldier had to have in order to to be classified as a soldier or be able to serve as a soldier. Go ahead. He had to have two teeth, one on the top and one on the bottom so he could bite off the end of the cartridge. And beyond that, nibble on everything else. Yes. Yeah, that's basically five. Then you get into the smaller calibers. For my Pennsylvania long rifle, I carry, I got a wallet that's made out of leather and it holds six. Well, we're talking about primitive weapons here. I want to bring up something that we haven't talked about much, and that's crossbows. Okay? Ordered one in. I got a sales flyer from the place. I ordered one in, a 120 pound pool. And I ordered it from, it was advertised for $49.95. Okay, well being a registered dealer with them, I got it for a little cheaper than that, which I won't win to, because that's my secret. But I got on their computer website, this morning and they have a series of several different size pool weights. They had the 120, they got 150, and they also had one 180. Then they had some pistol crossbows of 50 pounds and 80 pounds. Now, other two, the 150 pound, they have several of them. They range in price from $79 to $99, okay? The pistol crossbows, the 50 pounder was $29 and the 80 pounder was $39. I should have kept the sight up, but I didn't. So if you get a hold of Bud K, they have a whole selection of crossbows and they have the boats, boats that go with them. I got one in of 120 pounder for my grandson. When I got on the website this morning and I found the 150 pounders, I'm going to order some of those this week so they'll be in for the next gun show. So they have a whole selection of them there. I know there are places where you can go and you can buy a crossbows for $600 or more. But if you want something for silent work and you don't have $600, you don't have $400, you don't have $200, but you got about $100. Here you go. They're nothing fancy, but they have several varieties for you to choose from. More than service worn out. That's the big thing. Hey guys. Go ahead and call or jump in there, please. Real quick, this is me here in Daunton, Florida. It's a really cold day. Just looked at the temperature. Everybody's got their jackets on and their sweatshirts. It's 70 degrees, so we're pairing with. I feel so bad for you. Oh, let me play that little violin. Well, I was out in my bikini this afternoon, so warm. Now that's scary enough as it is. Please don't do that again to me, okay? Yes, don't do that. Bad images. If you're looking for ammunition, and you were talking about it a few minutes ago, PK, the website that I go to, especially if you're trying to buy in bulk is ammunition2go.com. They seem to have a pretty good stock of the 7mm-08 in the magnums, etc. For the most part, if you're looking for those kind of odd, well not say odd, but non-military type ammunition. I've ordered from them, they ship very fast for the most part and they provide good ammunition. Well again, can you give that a couple more times for everybody? We've talked about it before. Sure. It's very simple. Ammunition2go.com. I've bought from them several times in service. I like to provide a tip also. I see a lot of people talking about free floating barrels and creating more accuracy. and their rifles. One of the easiest ways that I found to create accuracy is by free-floating the barrel. You can do it with most standard bolt rifles. You'll see YouTube videos about you know, chambraying out the stock and doing different things. One of the easiest solutions that I found to free-float a barrel is with a pop can. Basically cut It's about part of the improved accuracy. Just tell people about that. It's a very cheap, inexpensive and quick way to add accuracy. Very good. I appreciate that. And by the way, don't tell us any more about your weather down there. Either or we'll have to find you. Unfortunately, I'm going to be back up at the farm probably pretty soon, so I will be tasting that weather again. One of the interesting things, that's kind of like when I went to Arizona and I served down at Fort Chuca. I've brought this up many times. We left sub-zero weather, minus 40, minus 50. We show up in Arizona and the bus driver is wearing a parka and it was like 78 degrees, you know, I'm forgetting, 73 degrees that morning in Tucson, right? We're looking at each other. We're the only two people on the bus and of course we're untying our ties and we're wearing class A's because we had to you know, I had a traveling class A's back in the day and What was funny is we're losing our ties. We've got our jackets off and we're looking around and we look at the driver again It's like he's but he's zipping the park up more because the bus is moving and it may have dropped another two degrees inside You know, and I'm thinking this is suffering Exactly. We're bearing it with not complaining or anything, but we do have our sweatshirts and our winter coats on. Yeah, it's still chill. That's chill weather for Florida. It's 70 degrees. It's quite a drop from when we were down there taking care of mom and working with dad there. I understand how that is. Well, keep us apprised of the condition down there. Anything else? No, that's it. I'll talk to you guys later. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. And, Bud K, you mentioned Bud K, and I did this morning, Darrell. Gee, great minds think in the same way. Bud K has something on the front page that is kind of cool. It's not expensive. If you go to www.budk, uh oh, somehow I missed it there. What the hell would I just do? Anyway, it's BudK.com. When you get there, you'll go to the first, like the lead home page, and they have a 17 inch blade. Actually, it's a 17 inch blade, but it's a sawback machete. It's one I've talked about before. The thing is it doesn't have the buccaneer grip. So it's more like a sappers or a medics blade from World War I. Anyway, they're $12.99 a piece and for what it is, just to have a hacking and chopping blade in your inventory, it's the War Hunter Sawback Blade and Sheath. The big thing is it does come with a sheath. So if you're looking for something you can put on the shelf or something just to put in your utility kit. It's got a sawbait blade back, not fancy. It has been more expensive. They brought these down in price. It's one of the sale items they got going on right now. Item number is 17BK1806. And not a real fancy sheath, but serviceable. I've seen these before. This particular one is a stainless blade and then blackened so it does have some highlights. It's actually kind of a good looking blade but for being a stash blade where you can put it somewhere in the house That 17 inch blade has got good cleaving power, it's got a nice long blade, gives you a lot of leverage and these are the kind of weapons you want to kind of stack around here and there. You stick them in places where you can lock the, for instance, you can screw the sheath onto something so it's laying horizontally in the back of the couch or it's stuck in a closet somewhere but it's secured and all you do is reach in and you come out with a blade. Kind of handy for hacking and chopping and defense rules. Also, again, a utility blade because it's a machete on one side and it's a saw back on the other. It's not designed to cut trees down. It's designed for defoliating or improvising and constructing. Once you use the big saw or the other saw you've got in your kit, this one will take off branches, limbs, and scab a tree so that you clear it up. When you're done, you've got something to work with. A little tool, not fancy. Overall length is 24 inches. The blade is 17, about the same size as an Ontario machete. The grip is more of a knife type, rather than the traditional machete. Black plastic, fairly bulky, etc. See if it's something that might interest you. It makes a nice little weapon to go in your 5-10 program. Five of these on the shelf, you could issue them out. And for cleaving the enemy once they're down to save ammunition, or just as again a utility tool slash weapon, a good choice. So just something to think about there. And again, that's BudK. and the item number is 17BK1806. You'll also find the crossbows that Darrell was talking about on that page too. So there's a solution. That's another thing guys, bolts. You're going to want to buy lots and lots of bolts for the crossbows. If you're going to pick them up, remember the idea is you don't have to go out and pull them from the corpses right away. In fact, Darrell, have you watched any of the Walking Dead series? Yes, I have now you know the one yeah well Do you see the problems is like without to be like well? He just passed a 50 caliber with a belt of ammunition in it, and he's lamenting about not having weapons what the hell's wrong with you remember that? What about the tank did you really try to see if it starts if the tank starts 70 ton tank beats walking zombies all day You don't have to shoot them, just run over them and flatten them out. I'm squashing the zombies, I'm squashing the zombies. And you should tread at the same time. Yeah. So it's going to be a horrible smell, better have the fire truck at the other end to clean her off at the end of the day or at the end of the night or day, night and then some. But anyway, one of the weapons used in the series is the one guy that's the country-fied individual. He's carrying a crossbow. That's right. You might recognize the name. Hey guys. Go ahead. We got Ed there. I hate to interrupt, but I have to ask, is Craig in the studio yet? No, he's not here yet. Okay, well who did say he would try to do the program from there tonight? That's why I gave you the heads up earlier. Okay, everything's ready. We can at least get him to sit down right here and use the tools we have right here available. Oh, as long as Ed's listening, I found that computer you gave us. It's sitting right where I put it. I just set a box on top of it and forgot it. So I will have my maintenance man take a look at it in the next couple of days and work on trying to get the the three suitors of the apocalypse on video. That camera should, the software for that camera should be on there if the drivers aren't there, have them get a hold of me through either my egress or my Skype. And I can help them find the drivers for it. Okay, that's what we were having problems with before so that's... But you should have a mini disc that I sent down with it that is a copy of the drivers. Well, we'll see if we can find that. It's probably right with the computer. Anyway, I didn't want to get off track too far, but I did want to let you know I did find it, and we'll go from there. Excellent. Very good. Real quick, the reason I'm bringing up the crossbow issue with Walking Dead is wouldn't you have more than four or five bolts real quick, guys? I have a quiver over my shoulder, and I have a quiver at my hip. I'd always have, I'd have spares on the bow. I would be very careful about recovering the arrows until they have been cleaned. I think. So, there you go. At that kind of a price, I bought boats from other places, and at that kind of a price, you can't beat that. I'd be stocking up on them. Exactly. And again, the fact that I did get two packages for myself here, but anyway. Well, one of the things that we've been pointing out is that a lot of these weapons still come in handy for a lot of other projects. Certainly, they're still effective for personnel dispatch, getting rid of two-legged moose. And again, for the price, bang for the buck, they're actually quite affordable. And there's a wide range available. In fact, you can spend anywhere from as little as about $29.99 all the way up to $340 if you go through Bud-K. But for, like you said, for about $100, you can end up with a pretty decent unit. That will get the job done. You want to get a repair kit for it. You want to make sure you get replacement bolts. In fact, you want more bolts in general anyway, guys. Also, you can build more. Always remember that. You can make more bolts. Get extra strings because that will give you the strings to make more bolts for those with. And I will tell you, they will take your gear down. Oh, yes. In fact, there were limitations. There's an article I was reading, one of the guys had posted about the crossbow and the limitations about the crossbow and how it was going to decimate the deer population and how we needed to prevent people from using the crossbow. The whole argument that had come up originally, well, none of what had been discussed has transpired. And as a matter of fact, again, in most states, the crossbow is now A standard, either it's used as a regular seasonal weapon or it's especially useful for individuals who are disabled. Something to take into consideration there, guys. That's how Pennsylvania started out. They started allowing the disabled to use the crossbow and then finally they went, anybody could use it. I think I heard, I think Fluffy in the background. Yeah, I went with Fluffy. I'm mentioning that what Darrell said about extra strings. Yeah, I've got a small cross myself and it's a lot of fun to practice with, but some of the nicer ones have built in always a wind up device to cock it if you don't have the back string to cock it. Yeah, there are some that do that and you can always get the, I have a 150 pound poor one and I have a set of hand pullback strings. Actually, they hook onto the string on both sides of the stock and you pull back with both hands, one on each side and it just brings it right back up so you can clock it. It really counts. You have some that even have a pulley system where you just crank it. Built in. Another nice thing about crossbows It wouldn't be disturbing to the poor liberal people. There wouldn't be any sound pollution when you take down the blue beanie resupply pods. Yeah, well that's what I say there. Very nice for getting supplies that you need without people knowing that you're there. Whether they're food or clothing. Wouldn't want to be disturbing neighbors after all. One of the other things, by the way, we do have Craig in the studio. Craig will be here live. We have to be just doing the Connect right here the way we're doing right now for today. It won't be happening next Wednesday. Everybody out there, we are headed towards the top of the hour, as a matter of fact. Craig, is it just the right moment? Darrell, where are you going to be this weekend coming up? We need to know. Well, I'm going to be here this weekend, but next weekend I will be in San Harmony, Pennsylvania, which is just down the road at the Hickory VFW on Route 62 down there. So it's about 100 table shows. It's another small one. I always do pretty good at the small shows and that. But that's where I'm going to be in a week from this weekend. I have to every so often take a weekend to get stuff caught up and stuff around here. We've been working on our station because we lost our antenna and we lost our amplifiers. We've got a new antenna up and the chips have just come in, so probably this Saturday I will be there working to get everything all reinstalled so we get back up on the FM. FM dial where we belong. We've been having people crying. Where you at? Where you at? What happened? What happened? You're not part of the government shutdown. Before we go, I got to ask Dad a question. You're going to have Craig on the landline? I believe so. That's why we're going to have to. We're going to have to for this today. Then I'll just stay on the line here with you. Don't hang up. Get that straightened out. Otherwise, I'll tell you what, guys, it's been a really busy week. Here it is already Wednesday. Snow in Pennsylvania, a little bit of dusting on the ground here. The farther north you go, the more snow we have. Still, it's been worse and it's been a pretty decent season so far, so we can't really complain. I hear the music. God bless the Republic. That's the new world order we shall prevail ladies and gentlemen the Empire is on the run And we're on the march both day and night and don't forget to hug you rifle Yes, but it burns so good because I'm gonna use the burn barrel on you there we go.
