I bought a Pursuit LT last year. I had 2 shots at 2 deer last year and dropped them both. One at 70 and the other at 110 yards. My son bought an LT the year before and dropped a nice doe in her tracks at 100 yards. Before I bought the LT I used a Traditions Deerhunter carbine for about 20 years. Traditions may not be the most expensive or the best built but they have put meat in the freezer for many years. A buddy of mine has a wicked Omega set up but missed his deer the last two years. I guess it may be true what they say.....It not the gun it's the gunner.
