Looking for a 2016 Benchmade Special Edition Pink Cancer Awareness Steep Country Knife

I checked the with manufacture and the largest dealers of Benchmade Knives:  Blade HQ, Knivesshipfree.com, and Knife Center, but there are apparently none of these 2016 special run Steep Country pink hunting knives (Limited edition 15008-PNK Steep Country) left for sale anywhere that I could find.  If you have one that you would be willing to sell or find a link to one online, please contact me at sportingroad@gmail.com.  Thank you.

Yoga

Yoga has been around for thousands of years. It is a practice that started in India, and is now very popular in the United States and around the world. Yoga has gained a lot of attention lately - maybe because it is a fun and easy way for both adults and kids to feel healthy and happy. For children, yoga is about exploring and learning in a fun, safe and playful way. Yoga and kids are a perfect match. Here is what children (and adults!) can learn from yoga.Yoga teaches us about:• Body movement - to move more freely and with greater ease and awareness. Postures help our bodies become strong and flexible.• How to breathe better - to breathe deeply and fully and become more aware.• How to use our energy more effectively - we feel more relaxed, focused, or motivated.• How to quiet the mind - we learn how to be still. This helps us to listen with attention and make good decisions.• Balance - we learn to be aware about the need for balance in our lives and making sure we balance our very busy time with equal quiet time and relaxation.• To be the "boss" of our bodies - to listen to our bodies by modifying or changing poses that are too hard.• Taking care of ourselves - Yoga is a great way to move our bodies, feel healthy and support a good night's sleep!

Recurve Bow – Traditional Archery

Our daughter started with a toy bow from the RenFest and graduated up to a small compound bow.  While it isn't a Black Widow PX, she has now started with a Cabela Ranger Recurve Bow  in a right hand 62:, 25# setup.  but then decided that the PSE NightHawk was better, in a right hand 62" 25# setup.  We started with what we were given, which was the Cabela's Stalker Extreme 4 L/W feathers arrows, 340, 65/80, 9.3 GPI, with 5/16" 75 gr. easy pull field points in a 31.5" uncut length.  We found they were too long and heavy, and swapped them out for Stalker Extreme 45-65, in 29.25" length, 500, 7.3 GPI, with 75 grain, 9/32" diameter bullet points.  We use a hay bale with  a Morrell Target.  We have a finger guard and ketoh arm guards.  She is also experimenting with the much lighter 28" Beman ICS Hunter Junior arrows, which are 7.3 GPI and 600, feather fletched.  PSE recommends Razorback or Desparado arrows at 30" and 800 spine for up to 40 lbs.  Replacement limbs can be ordered from any retailer or from 800-824-8261 drop shipped to  your location. Cabela's Stalker Xtreme™ Arrows Feathers, Per 6 Outfitted with 4" feathers, tradition meets technology Microsmooth surface finish is quiet and easy on rest and targets Added mass for better kinetic energy Straightness factor to ±.003" We started with our customer-favorite Stalker Extreme shafts, improved the straightness factor to ±.003'', and then outfitted each with 4” feathers to come up with an arrow you can count on for consistent, reliable performance with broadheads and field points alike. The high-strength carbon-composite fibers and unidirectional, carbon-filled core contribute to each arrow's light weight and professional-grade performance.

Rattlesnake Bites in Horses

We had quite a Colorado adventure at the hunt yesterday.  It was at a different more rural fixture, where there are few gates, and no cell phone or internet.  We only hunt there once a year, so it is also easy to be a little off on directions.  And there was only 8 in the field.  We were a long way from the trailers and Lauren and I had just asked permission to leave the field, as she hurt her finger when Snickers took a stumble.  We were alone just our daughter and I. Anyway, on the way back, Snickers got bite by a Western diamondback rattlesnake.  We thought he just stepped on the snake as it slithered off, rattling.  But then Snickers went to raising his foot and was immediately lame and after 30 minutes of trying to hand walk him back, he couldn't move, could barely breathe, and was really close to dying. We were still a long way from the trailer. Luckily, I was able to back to him with the trailer, as our daughter bravely waited by herself.  I encourage all horse owners living in the West to read this article, so you can know what to do a little better than we did, but I figured that a tourniquet, sucking the venom out, and/or lacerating the wound were all out of date recommendations, as I knew they were for bird dogs. He is doing well, following his antivenin and is expected to make a full recovery, following his antibiotics and other treatments. Read the article please, it might help save your horse. I was surprised at how severe a reaction it was, as I heard that horses getting bitten in the

NATO Rolex Watch Bands-Rolex Milsub

Don't schedule quality time.  Wear it! The Rolex Submariner Ref. 6538 in its most iconic scene in Bond history, Goldfinger.  For all the Bond watches check out this great site.  https://www.timepiecechronicle.com/features/2017/8/30/in-depth-all-the-watches-of-james-bond-casino-royale-to-spectre Rolex started their relationship with the military in 1954, when they supplied the British Royal Navy with around 50 examples of their ref. 6538, or, the Bond Submariner.  Enter the Rolex Milsub.  The Rolex Military Submariner is an incredibly rare watch that Sean Connery made famous in many James Bond Movies. The military's use of the watch suggested a redesign of the bezel, with its existing coin style edging proving difficult for Navy divers to turn while wearing gloves. And the second was the standard spring bars attaching the bracelet, a potentially disastrous point of weakness. Rolex addressed both issues, resulting in the A/6538 which was supplied only to the Royal Navy. These pieces, the first of what would become known as the Military Submariners, or Milsubs, were joined a few years later by the updated ref. 5512. Other than that, the only difference between the civilian and military issue watches were the fixed bars for the strap on the Navy’s model. In the 1970s, the MOD once again called on Rolex to supply their elite special forces personnel with a dive watch, to replace the Omega 300 Seamasters the SAS (Special Air Service) and SBS (Special Boat Service) had been using.  Between 1972 and 1979, around 1200 of these either modified or else specially created pieces made their way to the Royal Navy and British Army storerooms.  The first of the three references, the ref. 5513, was customized from the civilian version in some models by the addition of oversized sword or Gladiator hands to give greater visibility.
