    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    What ISO? And back in the XP days I had some trouble time from time when writing the ISO file max speed,some files seemed to corrupt. And what writing software are you using? And what error do you see when you try to boot from your CD/DVD disc? like was stated make sure cd/dvd rom is selected in the bios for booting even if your drive is not bootable the dvd should try when the drive fails to boot and should at least try to give options to format and pre-load drivers required for your OS...The ones that tended to corrupt on me was the rundll32,shell32 ect.ect.but you could just pop in a OS on the same platform when it failed to install the file then swap back to the disc you was loading...To make a long story short If you did not enjoy doing it "pain in the ass" If that is what you enjoyed it could be a fun challenge Umm, no much more simple. Stupid handicapped BIOS was REALLY picky. Not booting from CD/DVD drive? From any non internal drive. Can't change it in the bios. If the uefi ain't happy it won't work and when it is finicky and particular fuck all y'all. Anyways, I am posting from that PC. All installed and moving. About to dual boot it with Elementary for the time being.

    Yep, and one of the only power tool companies that actually spends enough money to buy our stuff for development. Bosch too, but they have the benefit of sharing across many industries. What I don't understand on the average,people have never used or heard of Hilti.. And even though they can be pricey the life span of their product are worth every penny..And their fire calk is about the best I have seen yet IMO..A very solid company. They are German. Average people don't buy boutique German shit in the US. Sort of like asking why more American homes don't have Gaggenau ovens. They are the fucking bomb, but almost no one knows who/what they are.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    exactly what I am starting with a bow.... I would hate to try to find a bow with your draw length. Your options will be extremely limited. For Deer and bird a shotgun makes sense, although if you can use rifle, I prefer a rifle all day over a shotgun for big game. In Southern NY we used to have to use shotgun, although that has finally changed. I had 3 shotgun for hunting. For Deer, I had an Ithaca Model 37 Deerslayer. The Model 37 was THE choice for law enforcement for decades. It's 100% reliable action, with a bottom feed, bottom eject made it perfect for moving through houses side by side. My deer gun was scoped. It was my grandfather's shotgun, he bought it brand new, drilled and tapped, scoped and slung in 1956 for $87. I still have the receipt! My bird guns were a Remmy Model 870, in 12 Ga and a 20Ga later model Ithaca 37. I very rarely used the Remmy, as I love the Ithaca action. If you want a rifle, which I suggest, it will depend on what you want as a budget. I love Savage model 12s for out of the box accuracy. I love my Tikka T3 Hunter in 270WSM. It will easily take any big whitetail up your way. It is no problem to drop sheep from 400 yards, mulies from 5, so no issue with whitetail, no matter how big. It is fairly inexpensive to shoot, it won't blow your shoulder out every time you shoot it, and it will be very fast, very accurate, and very deadly. If you want to spend a little more, Kimber or Sako will provide great rifles for $1-2K. For optics, Nightforce SHV, Vortex PST for glass. My Savage Model 12, with Vortex Optics My Model 12 and my son's Model 11 in .243 I am harvesting more than hunting. Doing it with a bow just sounds exciting. If I like that then I'd get a gun. Bow season is forever long here though and I have relatives that have plenty of perfect land near corn fields. Primarily I want something to dick around and shoot the carp I see near our dock. I can also setup an archery "range" in my back yard but would have to drive to shoot a gun. I shoot bow too. Your problem is going to be draw length. I have a long draw (31.5 inches) which limits my choices, but you may be limited to custom or traditional archery. I also have a traditional bow, but I never really enjoyed it. It is a Kassai Mongolian Horse bow. It is really nice, all leather wrapped with traditional wooden arrows with real feather fletches. By the Cabela's calculator I pull a 32". Wingspan / 2.5 which I am sure is a general rule of thumb that doesn't work. My wingspan is 6'8"

    Echo is ok that I have tried. Garbage in comparison. Sure their big dogs are fine, but not worth it.

    Was my second choice. They only do 4 strokes and IF maintenance needs to happen I didn't want that. They also weighed almost 10lbs more 7 years ago than they do now which is a lot. Bought the only blower that blows harder than a Stihl on the market

    You're sure they're bootable and not just holding the iso file? Check bios and make sure boot order has cd or usb ahead of hdd. Ultrabook bios ftl. Bootable and invisible. wtf. All working now though.

    Aargh. Windows I have an ISO I have a Key Getting the ISO into a format that boots on the laptop is a complete different story. The laptop has no operating system on it now so it has to be bootable. I've built a bootable USB, flash, and DVD and none have worked.

    If I did it over again though I'd grab the Hitachi, it's a fucking beast.
  16. ///M5

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    At over 2hp there is no reason NOT to buy the Hitachi. If you want a smaller one then the Bosch or PC. I bought the PC as I got a fixed based and plunge base for the same price as the plunge Bosch. I keep the fixed in my table saw so I have a fence for it.

    The one spot a recurve has potential from what I am reading is fishing. You don't need the velocity or distance and the ease of use outweighs the power advantage of a compound. Plus I could get started cheap. ....I just don't trust ANYTHING I've read though. Forgot about Capras

    Or PC for the small guys. I'd NEVER buy another Crapsman router. I never had no problems with the ones I have had..Idk Go buy a new one, you won't say the same thing.

    It can get kinda steep on the price here to Dave Ramsey has one on the lake maybe 1-1.5 miles away on lake front,also several country music stars as well have lake fronts here as well. Country Music Star is an Oxymoron

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    And more seriously Mike. The prices I gave you were for lake front. Now you all know why I don't live on lake front. 1/3 -1/2 acre lots here not on the lake go for $400-600k, on the lake it can quintuple quickly depending on location. Real estate is nutso.

    Dynamite! M80's are actually fine. Used to get those when I was a kid. Rather effective.

    I'd go shoot. Outside of raping all sorts of small game with a pellet gun when little I've shot: -skeet once -pistols in a range once and that maybe it. I realize that the bow may not be safe, that dry firing is a bitch, but there is also something that is more exciting about it to me as a non-hunter. A real fire arm would almost be cheating where I would hunt too. I've nearly hand fed turkeys at the farm lol

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Hard to shoot a firearm in Hennepin county. I figure for hunting forays it will go like this: -bow for fish -bow for deer -bow for turkey ....then I'll grab a shotgun and start bird hunting.
