Anti-Social Media
Last week, Facebook was abuzz with comments on the Boston Marathon bombing. My newsfeed was filled with prayers and well wishes for the city of Boston and all affected by the blast that took three lives including that of an 8-year old child. Like 911, Americans were united again… or so I thought… until I began to read the posts from my more conservative Facebook friends. One former co-worker took less than a day to blame President Obama for the Boston bombing, posting something like: "This would never have happened on Bush's watch!" Knock, knock, knock! "Hello? Anyone home? Where were you on Sept. 11, 2001?" I can tell you where he was. He was reading to elementary school children in Sarasota County, Fla.
This week, amidst a barrage of musings on the second amendment, the stupidity of gun control supporter, and the violent tendencies of Muslims, this same former co-worker posted a message declaring President Obama, "… the most inept, corrupt, wasteful, subversive, destructive and divisive President ever… twice elected because of the color of his skin rather than the content of his character." What's more amazing (but not surprising) is that some of her friends clicked the "Like" button for this nonsense.
Now I'm sure she was just reposting something she saw on some other idiot's Facebook page. Clearly she's not smart enough to have completed such a thought on her own. And George W. Bush should be thankful that he was three years into his presidency when Facebook was founded. Facebook junkies missed the election that Bush stole, 911, the beginning of the war in Iraq under false pretenses, and some questionable trading by a company headed by his Vice President.
Now I was never a fan of George W. Bush. But I don't blame him for 911 or the manner in which he handled the aftermath. After all, this was an unprecedented act committed on U.S. soil. No one had any experience dealing with such an attack. And to our credit, the entire nation supported the President in his effort to bring terrorists to justice. What irks me is the double standard conservatives use to qualify patriotism. If you opposed Bush's foreign policies for any reason after 911, you were labeled by the right as a traitor, an atheist, and anything else they could think of. Yet no one holds conservatives to task as they do the most un-American of things any American can do… denigrate our commander in chief.
I took a sabbatical from Facebook during election season because I couldn't stand to read the posts from both sides that represented hatred and ignorance. Oh, I tried to bring a little diversity to my newsfeed, befriending those who did not share all of my views… my life experiences. Nobody loves a good debate more than I. But I don't respect people who can't support a political position without a initiating a full-scale personal attack on the opposition. My number of Facebook friends just decreased by one. So much for social media.

Is there a way to Import Windows Live Mail Local Storage Folders to Zimbra.
As Windows Live Mail does not support multiple address books I decided to try out Zimbra. It meets all my requirements, and more. But I also need to import my storage folders. Hopefully there is a solution.
Thanks, Vinby

The transit of europa was a beautiful thing as the disc resolved nicely in this seeing and the shadow a perfect inverted value to play off the moon itself. Because Jupiter is so close at 48" the moon too, though Jupiters smallest of the four shown distinctly with specific surface area that made the whole procession a delicate but fine thing that flattered the resolution capabilities of the scope.
After last years horrendous November where the entire month was a shut out of 3-4/10 seeing I was giddy about 6/10 seeing. It was like cosmic lotto. Hardly the best view the scopes ever had but profitable and again beautiful . Hashing out the nodules, and gaps and doo dads in the belts was rewarding pursuit.

Torn ACL/ sprained MCL. They ended up taking some hamstring tendons instead of my patellar because my growth plate was still open and they wanted to give me a chance to grow some more. This led to recurrent hamstring problems during track, and I'm still not any taller.

2012 RECORD: 8-4, lost in regional finals
RETURNING STARTERS: 5 offense, 5 defense
STAR WATCH: Quarterback Reid Carlton (6-3, 218) returns to anchor the offense as a three-year starter. He threw for nearly 1,600 yards and had 21 total touchdowns last season. Carlton missed the spring game after suffering a foot injury. On defense, senior cornerback Dominique Brown (6-0, 182) and sophomore pass rusher Jordan Woods (6-3, 245) have Division I offers in hand, while junior linebackers Marquis Hendrix (6-1, 215) and Ulysees Gilbert (6-2, 240) have been garnering recruiting looks too.
NEW FACES: Junior running back London Gaskin (5-10, 173) transferred in from Vanguard and is expected to get carries along with sophomore Johnny Taylor, who had a great spring for the Celtics. Senior tight end Max Linder (6-4, 230), a Middle Tennessee commit, attended Trinity as a freshman and sophomore but played at Forest last season.
QUOTABLE: "We're excited about this year. Just like every TC team, we have a chance. If things go our way and we can stay healthy, we have a chance to go deep into the playoffs and make a run at this thing." — Brantley.
BEST CASE: The well-balanced Celtics meet all expectations with a sturdy O-line led by tackle Nick Certain (6-4, 305), who will protect a talented group of skill players capable of putting up plenty of points, which will lead to a third state title.
WORST CASE: The playoffs seem like all but a certainty nowadays for the Celtics, who've been in the postseason every year since 2003. Poor preparation and costly mistakes in November and beyond seem to be the only thing standing in the way from a deep playoff run.
PREDICTION: With both 2012 state finalists moved out of Class 3A, Trinity will use its tough non-district schedule to prepare and be rolling on all cylinders for the playoffs. Trinity will play for a state championship this year.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - There's really only one way that Maryland can defeat No. 10 Florida State on Saturday and prevent the Seminoles from clinching a berth in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game.
Terrapins coach Randy Edsall says, "If we want to have a chance to win, we've got to play a perfect game and get turnovers against them."
Especially with a linebacker at quarterback and several key players sidelined with injuries.
Problem is, Maryland (4-6, 2-4) hasn't been anything close to flawless during a four-game losing streak in which it has been outscored 118-58. True freshman Shawn Petty is playing quarterback for the Terps, who have lost four QBs to season-ending injuries.
Florida State (9-1, 6-1) is a 31-point favorite, but coach Jimbo Fisher insists his players are taking nothing for granted.

Generation Z: Art For Right Now
January 26 - April 8
Every generation comes with stereotypes. Generation Z, those born from 1994 on, comes with negative attributes including a short attention span, poor interpersonal communication skills, apathetic nature, and social callousness. This one-dimensional judgment has not stopped Generation Z from creating poignant, engaging art.

If you got caught with a joint that one time in college here in Cincinnati and now you're applying for jobs, that youthful indiscretion can make it much tougher for you.
But that could change. Some of the 10,000 Cincinnatians convicted under an unpopular and now-repealed marijuana law may soon be able to put the past behind them.
City Council's Law and Public Safety Committee today passed an ordinance that, if backed by a full Council vote Wednesday, would allow some city residents convicted of having less than 200 grams of marijuana to have the charges removed from their criminal record.
In 2006, the city passed an ordinance making it a criminal offense to have even small amounts of the drug. A first offense was a fourth-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $250 fine. A second offense could net someone a first degree misdemeanor charge punishable by 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Under Ohio law, possession of small amounts of marijuana is a minor misdemeanor charge akin to a parking ticket. Those charges are much easier to get expunged. But municipalities can pass tougher laws against the drug, leading to a patchwork of penalties from one place to another.
Cincinnati's law was repealed by City Council in 2011, but the after effects remain for many in the city. The drug charges stay on a person's criminal record, are difficult to get expunged and could inhibit them from getting jobs or school loans.
"Our goal to seal these records so citizens can get on with their life and get jobs," said Councilman Charlie Winburn at the Monday meeting. Winburn, a Republican, has been pushing the ordinance as he runs for state Senate in Cincinnati's largely Democratic 9th District.
Gov. John Kasich gave his State of the State speech last night, promising to combat Ohio's heroin epidemic, cut taxes and create jobs across the state. The speech didn't promise any new, huge proposals; instead, it focused on expanding the approach Kasich has taken to governing Ohio in the past four years. Democrats criticized the speech for failing to note Ohio's recent economic struggles, with the state now among the worst in the nation for job growth. Meanwhile, a recent analysis from left-leaning Policy Matters Ohio found Kasich's proposed tax cut would benefit the wealthy.
Ohioans are moving left on marijuana and same-sex marriage, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released yesterday. The poll found 87 percent of Ohioans now support legalizing marijuana for medical uses, and 51 percent support allowing adults to legally possess a small amount of the drug. Meanwhile, half of Ohio voters now support same-sex marriage, compared to 44 percent who do not. Whether the widespread support translates to ballot issues remains to be seen. CityBeat covered Ohio's medical marijuana movement here and same-sex marriage efforts here.
The Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation (3CDC) plans to alleviate parking problems in Over-the-Rhine by adding a parking meter to every parking space in the neighborhood and asking City Council to allow residential parking permits in neighborhoods that mix commercial and residential. (Today, the city code allows residential parking permits only in neighborhoods that are 100 percent residential.) The plan would add 162 metered spaces to the 478 currently metered spaces, and 637 spaces would be designated for residents.
City Council could move to officially dissolve the parking privatization plan as soon as Wednesday. What will replace the plan is still unclear, but CityBeat compared Mayor John Cranley's proposal to the parking privatization plan here.
Cincinnati Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell says officers responded appropriately to an incident in which police shot and killed a suspect. Blackwell said police had to respond with deadly force when the suspect came out of his house with a rifle.

Ohioans are moving left on marijuana and same-sex marriage, according to a poll released Monday by Quinnipiac University.
The poll found an overwhelming majority — 87 percent — of Ohioans support legalizing marijuana for medical uses. About 51 percent support allowing adults to legally possess a small amount of the drug. And 83 percent agree marijuana is equally or less dangerous than alcohol.
At the same time, 50 percent of Ohio voters now support same-sex marriage, compared to 44 percent who do not.
A plurality of voters — 34 percent versus 26 percent — also disapproved of Gov. John Kasich's handling of abortion. (In the latest state budget, Kasich and his fellow Republicans in the Ohio legislature imposed new restrictions on abortions and abortion providers.)
Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,370 registered Ohio voters from Feb. 12 to Feb. 17 for the poll, producing a 2.7 percent margin of error.
The findings indicate the state is moving left on the biggest social issues of the day.
In 2004, Ohioans approved a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.
Last year, a Saperstein Associates poll conducted for The Columbus Dispatch found 63 percent of Ohioans favor legalizing medical marijuana, but 59 percent said they oppose full-on legalization. (Given the different methodologies, it's unclear how Saperstein Associates' results compare to Quinnipiac University's poll.)
Whether the liberal shift applies to ballot initiatives remains to be seen. This year, two groups aim to get medical marijuana and same-sex marriage on the Ohio ballot.
Contrary to what polling numbers might imply, it currently seems more likely same-sex marriage will end up on the ballot this year. FreedomOhio, which is leading the effort, says it already has the petition signatures required to get the issue on the ballot in November, even though other LGBT groups, including Equality Ohio, say the effort should wait until 2016.
Meanwhile, the Ohio Rights Group admits it doesn't yet have the signatures required to get medical marijuana on the ballot. The organization has until July to gather 385,247 petition signatures, which in large part must come from at least half of Ohio's 88 counties. In the very unlikely scenario the Ohio Rights Group gets all the petitions in circulation back with 36 legitimate signatures filled out on each, the organization would have about 246,000 signatures.
Still, with support seemingly growing, it seems unlikely medical marijuana and same-sex marriage will remain illegal in Ohio for much longer.
The Ohio Rights Group could get medical marijuana legalization on the ballot this November, but the group first must gather enough petition signatures. Although the campaign has medical research and polling in its favor, it's also struggled to raise a significant amount of cash to support a statewide campaign. At the same time, many entrepreneurs see the legalization of medical marijuana as inevitable; over the past weekend, Comfy Tree Cannabis Collective held a seminar to advise potential businesses on the inner workings of selling legalized marijuana.
Commentary: "Budget Promises Spur Fears of Cuts."
Hamilton County Commissioner Chris Monzel says the county is willing to go to court to fight Cincinnati's "responsible bidder" rules for Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) projects. The county says the rules are illegal, burden businesses and favor unions. But city officials, particularly Councilman Chris Seelbach, says the rules help train workers and create local jobs. The rules impose stricter job training requirements on MSD contractors and require them to fund pre-apprenticeship programs that would help train new workers in different crafts.
Larry Ealy, a Dayton-area man, could challenge
gubernatorial candidate Ed FitzGerald in a Democratic primary, but the
chairman of the Montgomery County Democratic Party cautions that Ealy
consistently fails to gather enough signatures for his election bids. In
the past, Ealy attempted to run for various offices in Dayton.
City officials and the Cincinnati Public Schools Board plan to announce a new collaboration today. The initiative intends to align and better implement the city and school district's shared policy goals. "We want to establish the framework and make sure the right culture is there," Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld, who announced the collaboration, previously told CityBeat. "Then people can do what elected officials are supposed to do: roll up your sleeves and come up with smart, viable policies."

The Ohio Ballot Board certified an amendment that would legalize medical marijuana and industrial hemp in Ohio. Petitioners will now have to gather 385,253 signatures to get the issue on the ballot — most likely this year or 2014. CityBeat previously covered Ohio's medical marijuana movement in greater detail here.
Republican county commissioners are asking the Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana Regional Council of Governments to pull $4 million in streetcar funding, but the city says OKI can't legally do it. Commissioners Greg Hartmann and Chris Monzel, who are also members of the OKI board, made the request in a letter. City spokesperson Meg Olberding says OKI was simply an agency that passed the money along as it worked through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to OKI to the Southwest Ohio Regional Transportation Authority (SORTA), and the agreement doesn't allow OKI to interfere any further. This morning, the city's Twitter account tweeted, "City has confirmed with Feds that OKI cannot pull streetcar $ bc funds are already obligated to this federal project."
Ohio released its first ever statewide report on voter fraud yesterday, called the "Post-2012 General Election Voter Fraud Report." Secretary of State Jon Husted said the report shows voter fraud exists, but it's "not an epidemic." That coincides with previous findings from researchers: An extensive study of the nation's databases by News21, a Carnegie-Knight journalism initiative, found no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
Ohio Democrats are proposing more accountability rules for JobsOhio, including adherence to public record laws, open meeting laws, state ethics laws for employees and full state audits. JobsOhio is a privatized nonprofit agency established by Gov. John Kasich and Republican legislators to eventually replace the Ohio Department of Development. They claim the privatized nature of the agency allows it to respond to economic problems more quickly, but Democrats say the agency redirects public funds with minimal oversight.
Cincinnati will host a march against genetically modified organisms Saturday as part of the international March Against Monsanto.

State Rep. Connie Pillich announced today that she will run for state treasurer, putting the Greater Cincinnati Democrat on a collision course with current Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel, a Republican who ran for U.S. Senate last year. Before becoming state representative, Pillich was in the Air Force, a lawyer and a small business owner. "Whether as a captain in the Air Force, a lawyer and owner of a small business, or a representative in the legislature, I've dedicated my career to listening to concerns, creating a plan of action, and working hard to deliver real results," she said in a statement.
Attorney General Mike DeWine certified the ballot language for an amendment that would legalize medical marijuana in Ohio, opening the possibility that the issue will be on the ballot in 2013 or 2014. CityBeat wrote more about the amendment and the group behind it here.
Supporters of the Medicaid expansion are hosting a public meeting and presentation today at 10 a.m. at the Red Cross headquarters at 2111 Dana Ave. CityBeat previously covered the Medicaid expansion, which supporters claim will save the state money and insure half a million Ohioans in the next decade, here.
Ohio is one of many states preparing to adopt Common Core standards and other reforms in schools, but a recent survey by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute of the state's superintendents declared that the state is not ready for all the changes being proposed. Terry Ryan of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute says Ohio should consider slowing down to give legislators and educators more time to work through the new requirements.
A new Ohio bill would require only one license plate per vehicle, potentially saving the state $1 million a year. But critics say the bill would limit the amount of tools available to law enforcement to fight and prevent crime.
Nearly two-thirds more suburban residents live below the poverty line in comparison to 2000, according to "Confronting Suburban Poverty in America," a book by two Brookings Institution fellows.

The Ohio Rights Group could be asking voters to legalize medical marijuana and industrial hemp statewide in 2013 or 2014. The Coalition for a Drug-Free Greater Cincinnati says drug approval should be up to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but that may not matter because polls so far shows medical marijuana getting widespread approval from Ohio voters. The Ohio Rights Group argues its amendment would help Ohioans by opening up better health treatments and boosting the economy. Whether that will be enough to land the issue on the ballot remains to be seen.
Mayor Mark Mallory revised the city manager's budget plan
to carry out less layoffs but more cuts to outside spending and
recreation centers. Mallory's changes will restore 18 firefighter
positions, 17 police positions, three inspector positions at the Health
Department and two positions at the Law Department, reducing the total
layoffs to 161, with 49 of those being police positions and 53 being
firefighter positions. But it will come with more cuts to third-party
agencies, including the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, the Center
for Closing the Health Gap and Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber of
Commerce, and two closed recreation centers. The plan will also use
about $500,000 in recently discovered revenue. Mallory said the layoffs and cuts have to be made in part because of multiple outside factors, including reduced state funding and courts holding up the city's parking plan.
The first hearing on the city's fiscal year 2014 budget proposals will be tonight at the Duke Energy Convention Center at 6:30 p.m. The public will be asked to give feedback on the budget plan put forward by the city manager and mayor, which would lay off 161 city employees, including cops and firefighters, to help balance the city's $35 million operating budget deficit.
CityBeat editorial: "Cincinnati's 1 Percent."
The Ohio Department of Transportation has raised its estimated price for the MLK/I-71 Interchange project by about $10 million to $30 million after meetings with business owners in Cincinnati's uptown area. It's so far unclear how the project's costs will be divided between the city, state and federal governments. Originally, Cincinnati was looking to pay for its share of the project through its plan to lease the city's parking assets, but that plan is being held up in court.
City Council approved a resolution yesterday supporting a statewide ban on injection wells used to dispose wastewater during the hydraulic fracturing — "fracking" — process, a drilling process that injects millions of gallons of water underground to unlock natural gas and oil reserves. The injection wells are a vital part of a fracking boom that has helped revitalize economies in Ohio and other states and could help combat climate change, but environmentalists and health advocates are concerned about the unintended consequences the wells could have on nearby water sources ("Boom, Bust or Both?" in issue of June 6, 2012).
The Ohio House approved changes to the state's third grade reading requirement that will relax standards teachers must meet to provide reading instruction and tutoring services for young students.

But the bunkers may have been a waste of time and money, considering the end of the world didn't occur. In fact, it seems like a lot of people are happy with the legal changes, which voters approved on Nov. 6.
From the perspective of this CityBeat writer, same-sex marriage would be great. It's something I wrote about extensively before ("The Evolution of Equality," Nov. 28 issue). As a refresher, not only does same-sex marriage bring a host of benefits to same-sex couples, but it also produces economic benefits for everyone. A recent study from Bill LaFayette, founder of Regionomics LLC, found that legalizing gay marriage would grow Ohio's gross domestic product, which measures economic worth, by $100-$126 million within three years.
Marijuana has similar benefits. Not only does it give people the freedom to put a relatively harmless plant into their bodies, but it also provides a big boon to state budgets. For Washington, it's estimated the marijuana tax will bring in as much as $500 million a year.
Legalization also creates jobs and economic growth as businesses pop up to sell the product and customers buy the plant to toke up. Washington State's Office of Financial Management estimates the marijuana market will be worth about $1 billion in the state. Considering the state is about 2 percent of the U.S. population, that could be extrapolated to indicate a potential $50 billion nationwide market.
Still, public use of marijuana and driving while intoxicated remain illegal. In a press conference Wednesday, Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes said, "If you're smoking in plain public view, you're subject to a ticket. … Initiative 502 uses the alcohol model. If drinking in public is disallowed, so is smoking marijuana in public."
The Seattle Police Department (SPD) seems a bit friendlier. In an email today, SPD told officers to only give verbal warnings until further notice. The warnings should essentially tell people to take their marijuana inside, or, as SPD spokesperson Jonah Spangenthal-Lee put it on the SPD Blotter, "The police department believes that, under state law, you may responsibly get baked, order some pizzas and enjoy a 'Lord of the Rings' marathon in the privacy of your own home, if you want to."
The Washington law also faces possible federal resistance.
Even though the state legalized pot, the drug is still illegal under
federal law. That means the feds can still shut down marijuana
businesses and arrest buyers, just like they have with legal medical marijuana
dispensaries in the past.
In fact, maybe the limitations are what's keeping the
apocalypse at bay. Maybe social conservatives will get to make use of
those bunkers if the rest of the country catches on to Washington's

COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) - A Columbus man says a neighbor's pit bull escaped its leash and chomped a hole in his 8-year-old son's earlobe as the family was outside for a jog.
The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reports animal control officers have quarantined the dog for 10 days. If it's free of disease, the pit bull will be returned to its owner.
Marcus Mitchum says his family was jogging Thursday when the pit bull slipped free of the leash its owner was holding and charged. He says the dog latched onto his son's back and ripped a hole in the boy's ear.
Owner Elbert Martin says the dog, named Bobo, was only playing and he didn't see it bite the boy.
Mitchum says his son is doing well after getting stitches in his torn ear.

St. Louis (KSDK) -- Have you gotten your flu vaccine yet? It's National Influenza Vaccination Week and technology can help fight the flu.
Technology is making it easier to communicate critical information about the flu. An app called Health Map allows you to find outbreaks nearby.
Another app we found is called 'Is It Contagious?' This one is helpful for parents and allows them to look up just about anything, including influenza. It will tell you symptoms, treatment, and information on going back to school.
The app called 'Fight the Flu' also checks out flu cases in the area and across the U.S. It tells you the symptoms, what you can do if you think you have the flu, as well as treatment options. Downtown Urgent Care uses this app and finds it helpful.
Kate Mueller, Downtown Urgent Care, said, "It can tell you the flu activity in your area, it can help you keep an eye on how we compare in St. Louis area to the U.S. So, you can see we're a bit higher than the national average."

The Financial Intelligence Unit has begun a probe into the transactions of investors and owners of crisis-ridden National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL) after probe agencies investigating the bourse detected alleged discrepancies in financial dealings.
The FIU, under the Union Finance Ministry, is the central agency which is tasked to collect, analyse and disseminate reports related to suspicious transactions and doubtful cash remissions or withdrawals to various law enforcement agencies for action at their end.
Days after the Income Tax department conducted surveys on over two dozen investors of the exchange, the FIU, sources said, was alerted and ask to prepare dossiers about movement of cash and funds of all those involved in the transactions.
The two reports prepared by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the RBI early this month are understood to have made recommendations for an intense "search" of financial databases and records of the activities of the entities involved in the operations of the bourse over a period of time.
The FIU, which is an empowered agency for undertaking penal action under money laundering laws, however, will not take any action on its end but will essentially support the CBI and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs in conducting their investigation, sources privy to the development said.
The preliminary information digged out by the FIU in the NSEL case has been of vital help to the I-T department as it is probing any possible instance of black funds involved in the bourse or entities involved, they said.
NSEL, a part of the Jignesh Shah-led Financial Technologies (FTIL) group, is grappling with a Rs 5,600 crore payment crisis after it had to suspend trading on July 31 after a government directive.
It has defaulted on six consecutive weekly payments to its investors.
Finance Minister P Chidambaram has recently said three authorities -- the CBI, the Forward Markets Commission (FMC) and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) -- are looking into the payment crisis at the commodity exchange, as per recommendations of the high-level committee headed by Economic Affairs Secretary Arvind Mayaram.
There are around 17,000 investors in NSEL, out of which 9,000 traded through top eight brokers, including Anand Rathi, Motilal Oswal, India Infoline and Systematix.

I have been shooting those Gold Tip Pro Hunters...Love them so far
http://www.questproductsusa.com/index.html I was thinking of the power punch ones. I have heard that even the carbon is made in the usa and they will cut the arrows to length for you and also check the stiff side of the spine for the cock vane.
They are the orange quick strikes they are all USA made! I love them.
I switch and try different arrows all the time but still seem to always go back to Gold Tip Pro Hunters. Currently shooting the GT Velocity 300's with their added weight inserts. FOC is right at 14.5% and they are performing really well out of my set up this year
I'm shooting the Easton Injexions this year... By far the best arrow out right now, worth every penny.. So much better than my FMJs i'm sold!
Can you fletch the FMJ with the NAP quick fletch quick spin vanes? My arrow numbers are down and have to buy new ones, might be a good time to change. Been using Carbon Express Maxima's,no real complaints, but only have 6 left. Been reading about the FMJ for a while. With the smaller shafts can you use the same broadheads and points?
