    Good on you Sean. If you have it when I am down there I wouldn't mind a go with it.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    35lb is the minimum for doc land, I shot a goat with a 40lb bow when I was younger and the arrow got good penetration but you need to get pretty close and use sharp non expanding broadheads. Some thing like a helix would be good.
