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.

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 smile.png

For some reason I thought Sean didn't like his echo

I have not ever had a problem out of them personally..not saying they are the best.. But the stihl back packs I have used had no problems that I can think of as well.

Maybe a better thing is to see if the little men want to learn how to shoot a bow, then you can target practice and set up courses and teach them the skill.

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.

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. smile.png

 

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.

I'm actually a Yankee, and very proud of the fact. I just reside in the south.

 

I learned all my shooting, archery, hunting, trapping, and fishing up north. Much better everything up there from that regard. My grandparents had huge property in the Southern Tier of NY, and I lived right on the great lakes. My family were all outdoorsmen.. Big whitetail, plenty of bird (I preferred pheasant, ruffed grouse, and woodcock), big salmon, northern pike, walleye, musky...

 

I don't miss the weather though.

I'm thinking about buying some land in Southern NY for hunting and vacationing.

 

But I refuse to work on those rust bucket fucking cars, so I'll stick to residing here.

Hilti makes some good shit.

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.

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.

 

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.

Sean did you look into stihl for backpack blowers?

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 ;)

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 smile.png

 

Umm, no much more simple.  Stupid handicapped BIOS was REALLY picky.

It shows in their product pricing too. Just replaced motor brushes on a Hilti core rig this morning.
