Hunting with my CB was the best thing I ever did. It has been the most crucial tool for me in my life in teaching me patience. I used to think the only way to go was a 870 12 ga and five shells ready for the cracking. Now the 870 collects dust and its mainly the CB, the50 cal knight, and my little 22 magnum! If your game is only to shoot one animal per day like a deer, then being able to shoot more then one shot means you know in your heart that your first one will suck! This may be going of course, but that is the thing I find most rewarding about the CB, it thought me patience and shot placement!
