Just an FYI, I did the same thing. Ordered 12/8 and I still don't have it. They shipped it within 2 days but they use USPS and it's been "in transit" ever since. It may be worth talking to Double Step and see when they expect it in and waiting for them. Then you can order exactly what you need. Our late season opens the 26th and I thought I would have had it well before now to practice. So much for that...
