Mostly use what many would consider obsolete junk. Old Marlin levers, Handi rifle singles, etc. No problems filling up freezer bags. After taking a few deer with junky bows, I realized that most any firearm I'd used was a space age death ray, probably about like that first archer that just tried out a matchlock musket. Whatever I can use to poke a hole in one side and out of the other and wreck some of the pump house on the way through will put deer meat in the freezer.
