RE: 75th Annual "Be Proud of What You Shoot!" thread

Thanks Ben, but I don't know if I'm as brave as you think. I really didn't think about the danger until after it was all over. I was just excited to see a bear in the woods and it came in so fast, I...

RE: Shipping Meat ?

You won't get 250# of meat unless you shot a moose. You might get that much if they mix in a lot of suet or make a lot of sausage with lots of pork mixed in, etc. You can expect 130-175# of...

2216s are 12.02 gr./in. and 2219s are 13.77 gr./in. so a 2219 will weigh 35 gr. more in a 20" shaft. I like the extra weight and the 2219s have a thicker wall, making them stronger as well as stiffer...
