    That's very interesting. I'm surprised it is that far in your neck of the woods.

    CCI Segmented Subsonic is absolutely my favourite (they also do a supersonic). Very accurate and very effective. Seems to be good to 150m and runs well in semis.

    I've been hearing the ads on the radio, and just seen some big ads in the local paper. Cannot hurt, but I do wonder who the audience is here. 171546
