You guys did catch me on that one. I'm a bowhunter who plans on taking a selfbow into the woods even though I've got a very nice Hoyt with quiet a few deer to it's name. But let's put things into perspective, that self bow is a 60+ draw and I'm still using modern broadheads. In my hands it's as accurate and deadly up to 25 yards as my Hoyt is to 35. No matter how you look at it, it's still a deer killer. Now a .410 on the other hand is almost always used for small game. My little .410 sitting behind me in it's case as I type has taken a mess of squirrels, about a dozen rabbits, a few doves and one raccoon who took too long to leave my garden. That raccoon is about the largest animal I consider the .410 suitable for. I'm sure it could take larger stuff such as coyotes, turkey and deer but that's why I own a 12 gauge. My 12 ga double is only about a pound heavier than the .410 but it's killing power is vastly more. I agree that it's recoil may bite your shoulder a bit but it's powerfull enough where I only need one pull of the trigger to do what the .410 needs 4 or 5.
