Congrats, mobow! Those DB's are expensive but sure are nice. Maybe I can get one when I grow up. I took my first bird out of a Doghouse this past season (first day out) and it sure was fun. I must have went out 20 times. Took a couple of more shots but missed. I can't wait till April. I might try the shotgun but I will definitely try the bow. I bought a used Winchester 1400 MKII but didn't know much about it. From what I've read its junk but if it shoots......
