Last season in Idaho I went out for a quick evening hunt a couple miles behind the house. I sat down and waited out a snow storm. As the storm let up I felt something to my right. I looked over and less than 5 yards was a young female cougar. She was crawling thru the grass towards me. When our...
You’re overthinking it imho. How many bison were killed with a stick and stone head?
Archery is more about confidence in your ability and your setup than anything. If your lights out with your setup then run with it. The last thing you want to do is make a bad shot on a mature bull because your...

I own a Freedom Arms 454 Casull and the 500 Wyoming express.
I mostly shoot 45 colt thru it tho.
