Choctaw - tis archery season using a cross-bow haven't been able ta use me bow since 2012 or so. Had ta put up my 70# bow & go back ta my 60# bow kept turning it down, till finaly gave up... Shoulders are shot... Her in Minnesota can use cross-bow whin hit 60+ ...
My guns ( Kentuckey .45's ) bang all guns slinger are still in texas had ta start all over. tried fining an in-line .45 but had no luck so got a .50 cal. it too tough on me shoulders...
Still in joy old school ( archery & black powder )...
