LOL JCC. I don't blame your buddy for forbidding you to shoot his "LLama". They just don't give them away.lol Popeye, ALL companies can and do produce a lemon from time to time, just sounds like you ended up with one. Like I said, I've shot several Llamas and all functioned very well, minus the use of HP's. If I all I could afford is a cheaper semi, the LLama would be definately on my short list.
