Title: Addiction !
Post by: Canteathorns on April 18, 2014, 08:09:28 PM
When I first came to this sight I thought 100 n 10 was good . I thought you all were crazy , you all had better patterns than I ever had . I said to myself they will never be satisfied . Then I shot those long beards and 150 n 10 made my old patterns look really bad . I posted my results and some of you said I could do better , and I started thinking yes I can . Now I'm going for the 200 mark ! I see that it's really addicting ! I've been taught a lesson never judge a book by it's cover . I'm hooked ! You all are a great bunch of guys , helpful , patient and have a love for our sport . Proud to be a member of old gobbler !

Addicting and expensive. Thankfully the longbeards came along and cut cost by 50%.
