I’ve gained a TON of information from you guys and this forum. Mainly by using the search function. I’ve enjoyed reading your stories, and lurking in the back, most of the time. Well now it’s time for me to pay it back. I mentioned this in another thread that is currently running, but I wanted to start this thread in its own spot. I’ll be the first to say- if what I’m about to propose isn’t allowed, or is in the wrong spot, please delete it or move it. I really am just wanting to help out, and wanting to say thanks as best I know how.

A little over a year ago, I bought the local gun / sporting goods store here in Rifle, Colorado. We carry a lot of firearms and archery equipment, fishing, reloading, knives, holsters, etc. If there is ANYTHING you guys are looking for, please let me know, and I’ll see if I can get ya a deal. Some things have minimum pricing set by the manufacturer, but if it’s something I can get ya a good deal on, I’d be glad to do it. I have about 200 suppliers, so if ya need anything dealing with the outdoor sports, let me know, and I’ll see what I can do. Even if I don’t carry it in the store, I still may be able to get it.

Just wanted to help out if I can, and say thanks for all you guys have done for me. My trapping enjoyment / success has skyrocketed because of this forum. If nothing else, thanks a million!!!

Very cool of you and I'll keep it in mind.

Totally off topic but have you read the results of my coonhound's test? You seemed to know a lot about fungi and so I was wondering if you also knew anything about oomycetes?

You could donate a gun or a bow or some outdoor gear to one of the Trapperman auctions or sending some money from your business to the Tman fund. I think you get a receipt for a write off.
That would be a good help and a thank you to Tman.

Thank you for your generous offer. All is well with the post.

Are they back in production or gone forever?

I've got a stash of them but they seem to have disappeared from all my usual sources and no one around here knows anything.

Yotetrapper- I did see it. Been praying for you and your dog daily. Yeah, I do know a little bit about the oomycetes, and I cringed when I read that diagnosis. There are a few types of oomycetes, three most common I think, and they are hard to deal with. Hard to kill. They aren’t really a fungus, but they kinda are. It’s like they didn’t know what else to compare them with, so they just threw them in with fungus since they act like a fungus- most of the time. I can’t remember the exact difference between them and a true fungus, but it isn’t much. Problem is, that tiny difference is kind of what makes them almost “bionic” in a way. Multiply when they want, multiple chromosome strains, reproduce in different ways, resistant to a lot of things, just flat out ugly to deal with. Not impossible to deal with, just difficult.

Best thing I would recommend- whatever you do, stay on top of that medication. Even missing one dose can be a setback. When I did tuberculosis work, that was the biggest issue we faced- people would think they were feeling better, so they would quit taking their medicine, and then BAM! A new strain of tuberculosis is formed that is now resistant to the medication that normally would have killed it had the entire dosage been taken. If a doctor / vet says take a certain medicine for a certain time frame, MAKE SURE TO COMPLETE THE FULL CYCLE. It’s the best chance you can give yourself or your pets to make a full recovery.

Do you have a website?

I will look into this!!

Thanks

They are my preferred low noise dispatch when I do shoot. Low noise, no pass through and the hollow point actually does mushroom.

There is, but it isn’t much of one. Facebook is our biggest presence. We are actually in the process of getting a new website up and running so that online orders can be made. Probably be available in a couple months. Right now, we don’t offer any online ordering. I bought the store about 6 months before it was going to close its doors. Spent the last year getting inventory built up. Now we are doing awesome, the supply issues caused by covid are over, and we are FAR from closing the doors now.

Thanks Raptor!

Yup! Already in the works.

What is the deal with .410 shotgun shells they are non existant ... Jon

I don’t need anything but think that’s a great offer for those that might it’s very nice thing to do.

Did you buy the old Tims Tools?

I just hit "Following" on Facebook...Generous offer!

Much appreciated offer!
Now, FIND US ALL SOME .410 SHELLS!
(I'm looking for #4 or #5 shot)

I've had the store since September 1st of 2021. I've had exactly 6 boxes of 410 come through the doors. They lasted about 30 minutes. No idea what the issue is with them. I can tell you that walmart gets them from time to time- at least here anyway. But ya gotta grab em quick.

No. I bought Timberline Sporting Goods in Rifle, which is about 15 minutes west of where Tim's Tools was. Tim's Tools is now a storage business.

Thank you!!! We do post product on there. Specially the hard to find stuff. I have a list of ammo that I look for daily. 45 Colt, 22-250, .410, 30-30 to name a few. Our facebook is the best place to watch for it. If you're following, and ya see something, call the store and ask for Paul, then we can talk and I'll know you guys are from the forum. I try to do an "ammo video" once a week or so, and that way everyone knows what's here, and it saves them from having to waste time to drive up here for nothing.

Thanks again for the follow!!
