Outside Circle: Recall notice, women’s ranch broncs, youth rough stock, youth rodeos, ranch rodeos, wild horse races
Now that the 4th of July is behind me, it actually feels like summer. The temps in the 90s kind of tip me off too. What a beautiful summer over most of the region. My heart aches for those in the hail storm and tornado affected areas. It’s sure a rough way to get summer started.
I think this is a legitimate recall and could be very important for the folks with these bits. It’s for the Professional’s Choice swivel port bit from the Bob Avila collection. The bit may break during use. A refund or replacement is available from the company. Go to http://www.profchoice.com/recall or call 800-331-9421.
