Now this is the Law of the Jungle -- As old and as true as the sky;
And the Wolf who shall keep it may prosper, but the Wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back --
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

I am hurt,but I am not slain;
I'll lay me down and bleed a-while,
And then I'll rise and fight again".”​

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary
