With 10 points, drawing should be a given. Going to be a bait hunt so I've decided the Ruger No. 1S-C in .45-70 will accompany me, along with a S&W 625 Mountain Gun in .45 Colt. Figure a 405 soft point should do the job...... ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

Hope your not hopeing for the Baldwin unit, if so your about 4-6 points short! Deer Camp! about as good as it gets!

No, not the Baldwin unit, that would take 14 points, but for Amasa I should have no problem drawing with 10 points. Took 6-7 last year for that hunt......so should be good. ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

Good luck on the draw, and the hunt Have 9 points myself, but couldn't resist the great Canadian exchange rate right now so heading north of Soo this year and put in for another Point. I'm using single shot Encore in 308
