Re: One Reason aka Why not to take a Poor Shot

Axiom 25 yard shot

Had time for one more hunt before vacation was over. This young buck walked out and gave me a great broadside shot at 25 yards. Stand was set up over a babbling brook in a mixed wood stand. The Buck went 30yards. So thankful I upgraded to an excal a few years back. http://i164.photobucket.com/albums...

Re: 2" 2-blade or 1.5" 3-blade?
