SnowwolfeGoing to try something new next year
I am an avid handgun hunter so this should be a good fit. The killing "range" for our tree stand or blind is roughly 30 yards. If you get really lucky you might add another 10 if you pick a shot through all the bushes and branches. Then it seems like no matter which way I am sitting a deer will come in on my off side making a rifle almost useless because I am no good shooting right handed.
Our ML season ends next Friday so wont have it in time to test fire and mount a sight (either red dot or 2X scope) and sling as I just ordered it today.
It should be fun and different for next year:

ZekeShikarThat looks fun to me!
I see no reason why it wouldn't be an effective deer-taker especially within the ranges you're shooting.
I've used the Contender CF for several decades now and love "pistol" hunting. Kind of the same thing.
Keep us posted.

LHeym500I have always wanted to kill a deer with a Howdah. This would be close. It should be a blast, and let us know how it turns out. I am betting just fine. Will the twist let you use big conical? If it does not that is ok as they are not necessary.
