Sadly, I am sidelined for bow this year with this rotator cuff surgery recovery. I likely won't have full strength until next summer. I refuse to go the cross-bow route, because it is too easy. I call them string rifles. I don't make many friends by calling them that.
I'll be handgun hunting for deer in PA this fall. I'll be shooting my Smith 29 in .44 mag from a ground blind. My shoulder won't be ready for the .30-06 by then.
