Post by: KenPCPilot on February 11, 2012, 10:04:06 PM: Sounds awesome. I just bought a DPMS Predator .20 inch barrel .223 mounted a Nikon Coyote 4-14 x 42. My first AR platform gun should be nice for night hunting and shooting multiples (fingers crossed). I need a rigid lanyard with a couple of clip type attachements. I have a simple cord type but it hangs straight down and always gets in the way of everything. I don't mouth call much but want to have my Fox Pro hand controller around my neck so it doesn't end up left under some sage brush or scotch broom pile. Do you have any suggestions on ammo for my AR? I shot 1/2 box of Black Hills and was not too impressed with the groups. Granted I was zeroing and first time shooting this gun but I know it is capable of better groups.

Post by: jackmaster on February 14, 2012, 07:28:14 AM: hey bearmanric, i dont know if you are interested but i have a couple of old elk antlers from wyoming if you want them for your calls, i dont know if you could use them for calls but you are welcome to them, they are beat up from the squirrels, i found them at a guys house he had them sitting in a shed for years so they are bleached out and chewed up, i started to rebuild them with bondo and coat hangers but i lost interest, and they are stud antlers i can tell you that, but the shape they are in would make it easy to cut them up
