That's a recommendation I value for sure. wink


it will do the job just like any other when properly applied. I never shot a deer anywhere than behind the ear or between the eyes, no matter the flavor of caliber for the first thirty years of my life. then I learned from the experts in magazines like G&A that that was all wrong. all that I shot with that placement were on the ground before they heard the shot. Now that I have taken to using the experts placement of behind the shoulder in the last 30 years of my life I have become a better tracker.
its all good.

the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded. Robert E Lee
