I was really hoping to be able to hunt with mine this year. Mine must have been the only lemon of the bunch. I called Darrik immediately after I picked mine up from my FFL in September and he quickly got me a paid postage email to print and send back. Second to none customer service. Hopefully I will get it back within 3 weeks. I'll be able to hunt with it at least one weekend this season if it comes back in that time frame. It doesn't look like it will happen though.
