    Archery Kit!

    My "Stronger than the average Bear" quote bas meant to be a joke sorry! What was meant is that I condition quite quickly and thought that the poundage issue with a bow would mean that someone who was stronger than the poundage allowed would damage the bow in some way, leading me to think that I...

    I saw that in your other post. Have been toying with the idea for a while. Might just bite the cartridge so to speak and get one. A shop local to me has a few in. He has a nice looking BSA .410. What sort of range have you been hitting rabbits/woodies/squirrels? Thanks for the other info too...
