Help from an Amerifriend

Happy Thanksgiving to my brethren south of the border

I'm hoping someone here may lend there assistance. I wish to acquire some hybrid gaffs for my spurs. However, no one up here seems to carry them. The great and honorable Wesspur does, but they seem to be requesting a child sacrifice or the removal of some bodily appendage to get them to me.

I am curious if a member here would be willing to include the gaffs in their Black Friday order and then subsequently forward them on to me at a much more sane toll. You will of course be reimbursed for all expenses.

Matt,
Ordered a set for you. Got a 20% discount for the sale. They normally take 4 business days to get stuff to me, and I will be prompt in getting them off to you. Won't make the same customs mistake.

$88. w/free shipping to me, and I will ship them to you with the cheapest shipping I can get at the post office.
Dave

What's hybrid about them? Size? Bigger than a pole gaff but smaller than tree gaffs?

They are between the two. 2-1/4" Actually, perfect for me here in Minnesota where we don't have that super thick bark but do have maples and such to deal with. When working on thin skinned buggers, like aspen and birch you don't feel quite like you are standing on a pole as you do with the tree gaffs.
