I understand the situation and apologize for any confusion. While I attempted to participate, I find myself in need of direct communication with him. The reason behind this urgency is my involvement in a target shooting competition scheduled with a group of my friends within the upcoming week. Given this time constraint, I am left with no alternative but to seek a means of establishing contact with him. I have taken the time to familiarize myself with the forum rules and have indeed endeavored to engage actively. However, it is important to acknowledge that my relative newness to the forum may have contributed to my difficulty in navigating the platform effectively. I genuinely apologize for any inconvenience caused by my inquiries. Your understanding is greatly appreciated. Additionally, I regret to inform you that I neglected to inquire about the current availability of the bipod you have listed. If it remains accessible for purchase, I would appreciate your guidance on how to proceed with the acquisition process. Your assistance is of great importance, especially given my forthcoming participation in a target shooting competition alongside a group of acquaintances within the next week. Thank you for considering my request and your understanding regarding the matter.
