I should say I am a double lung guy, not a shoulder shooter. Good thread, I hope it continues.


I think it depends a lot your hunting conditions. The area I hunt is thick as hell & steep - nearly vertical in some places. A deer running 30 or 50 yards could mean the difference between an easy drag, or at my age, a heart attack. A 240gr JSP in one or preferably both shoulders solves that problem nicely.
