I cultivated, spread the seeds and cultipacked the seeds in and that’s all. I only use screening plants to stop deer in my food plot from being seen...

I personally don't have any great interest in the Twinstrikes but I really find the 380 and the Air bow very interesting. The 380 may be an alternative to my 400 Suppressor. It appeals to me because it isn't...
