I usually get my whistles at Oshman's or a local sporting goods store. But the whistles I really like (the Fox40 whistles with the clear, plastic mouth guard - to me, they blow better and louder) I can't find anywhere. I see them on the Fox40 website but it doesn't look like you can order directly from Fox40 themselves.

Am I missing something here? I need this whistle by next week!

Give Honig's a try

If you need one quickly, you can go to many sporting goods store and buy them. I have gotten them at Sportmart or any big chain that sells sporting equiptment. They usually cost more, but believe it or not, they usually have them.

Peace

Sounds to me like he checked "many sporting goods stores" but "can't find [them] anywhere".

Here we go again. . .

:( (or is it really :D )

The Officials' Choice is also a good option....

No Chuck, what it sounds like <b>to me</b> he looked at two stores (he did not list the name of one of them) and concluded that he could not find them anywhere (internet, catalog, email). Because if he does not find them in his area, he might never get them through the mail in time. But then again, we also do not know what kind of area he lives in. He might live in a town of 10,000 or a few Million. In some cases, you can find them at the Wal-Mart if you look at the "Sporting Good" section. And I would not consider Wal-Mart a Sporting Good store.

Peace

Re: Chuck, Chuckie, Chucky
 

Rut, he said that he looked in sporting goods stores and couldn't find them. You suggested that he look in sporting goods stores. How is that helpful?

Now, that is helpful. I was unaware that Wal-Mart carried stuff like this. However, this is not what you suggested in your first response. Thank you, though, for adding constructively with this one.

Re: Re: Chuck, Chuckie, Chucky
 

I should have said this so you can be happy.

Look at

<b>Wal-Mart</b>--in the sports section
<b>Walgreens</b>--in the toy section(might not be the right color though)
<b>CVS</b>--in the toy section
<b>Champ Sports</b>--Some might think they only sell shoes.
<b>Footlocker</b>--Same as above
<b>Athletic Foot</b>--Same as above

These of course are not locks, but I have found Fox 40 Whistle at all theses stores at one time or another. But there might be other stores without these names, that might carry them as well. Just trying to broaden your horizons. Especially in an emergency.


Try online at these places.

If you cannot find a whistle at those places, you will not get one. But try those "non-sporting good" type stores first. You will be surprised they have them.

Is that good enough for you Chuckie? :rolleyes:

Peace

Re: Re: Re: Chuck, Chuckie, Chucky
 

No, you should've said that so that you would have addressed the question. It doesn't make me happy one way or the other. I was merely pointing out that by telling him to check sporting goods stores (when he clearly says that he already checked sporting goods stores) you didn't answer his question. Your last two posts, however, have been very helpful.

Again, it doesn't have anything to do with being "good enough" for me. I'm not the one looking for the whistles. If you want to be able to participate constructively, then you have to read the question and give a relevant answer. Your first post was simply not relevant. Your last two posts in this thread, however, have been more along the lines of what the original poster was asking. Nice job.

LOL! You guys are hilarious!

I said that I get my whistles at Oshman's or any other sporting goods store--meaning Academy, blah, blah, blah, and so on...

My whistles--meaning the ones with the plastic mouth guard--are the ones I can't find anywhere. I have no problems finding the regular Fox40's.

Nonetheless, thanks for the advice.

I usually get my whistles when I walk past construction sites.

...while wearing the stuff he found in Juulie's bag! ;)

Yeah -that thong's a real winner.

My three year old passed by when this post came up!

GEESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bragged about this site and you guys being so professional. :)

You have a three year old Woodee? YIKES!!!

Sorry - couldn't resist. ;)

There's more. I also have a 16 year old son, both kids from the same MOM. Yep, I'm blessed!

Mark, I don't think he got it. :p

I used to get those at the the same stores I got the regular Fox 40. But they do not sell them as much anymore at the local stores. I think you are better off ordering them at one of the several places I gave you earlier in the post.

Peace

Mark --

Don't try to pretend you got that out of MY bag!! And I don't even wnat to guess where it DID come from...

You have a 16 and a 3 both from the same mom -- and any others? Cuz if not, I've got ya beat -- 22, 19, 13 and 5. All the same two parents. So there!

KTJ,

I just ordered 3 from Honnigs today. They knock 50 cents off each if you buy 3 or more.

Larks

Got It!!!!!
 

Here I am trying to be clean but NO not you guys! :)


rainmaker, yep you got me beat with the age disparity.

Both kids fight like they are the same age, especially my 3 yr old daughter.

Mark, leave me alone!!!!!!!!

If you can't find the CMG version, you can wrap some tape around the end of your whistle. Might not taste as good, but it does the job.

I borrowed it from the "other" Mark. You know who.

To everyone else - no, I don't mean the one who posts on this board.

Just to be clear....you're talking about whistles, right?

I had the same problem. GetOfficial.com was a pretty good deal on the Fox40s, but found out that Big 5 Sporting Goods sold them too, just a helluva lot more expensive. Supply & Demand, as they say!

Purchase Officials has them for sure. Jack had them at the meeting the other night when he set up his table! ARent u from Texas KingTripleJump?
