It sounds like Lehigh and Knight will be working together on a few things. Could be a good thing for both companies. Do you know if Knight is going to set up a distribution network like they had before or are they going to do all the sales themselves???
I think a lot more will be known after the first of the year

Yes! to both and all - hopefully is just a matter of time.

For that range and that bullet was great - it did all that i expected...

I hate cleaning an animal - but on this one because of the range and the bullet - I really tried to do it neatly, even though it was getting dark. I really wanted to get a picture inside the chest cavity.... did not even cut the diaphram - just to keep everything in the chest. I carefully sawed the rib cage open and spread the cage - It was awful in their - well awful good too. But I felt the picture would just create a turmoil in some area so I passed. Just to say I cut the wind pipe and then poured the cavity out.

That little Lehigh did all that it wassuppose to do while taking a chunk of bone out of both legs and 4 ribs, especially since the shot was a bit high.

Really hope you have a great hunt. Just remember do not waste the first pitch - throw your best pitch but throw it for a strike!

The most important pitch in baseball is strike one, sabotloader! I'm lookin forward to it. I'm missing the Regular gun season right now, so I have been living through my friends the last couple of days! LOL

All that fat tells me is she is one healthy deer. Congrats!

197 is a great shot.
