[QUOTE="EZShooter, post: 94214, member: 5305"] This has already been posted, but I too use two guns - one LRH rifle and a S&W Performance 44 Light Hunter (instead of the Contender already mentioned). The 44 covers me to 100-125 yards with the Stoney Point Explorer Bipod I use as walking sticks - I jump one, and out comes the pistol, on top of the shooting sticks and bam. If the game is outside of 125 yards (which is about as far as I can judge with my crippled depth perception/eyesight) then I go to the cannon with a laser rangefinder - if they are 150 yards out and they are hauling then I am sol, but at least this gets me two types of opportunity. If they slow down or I can figure out where they are going bam with the cannon. The 44 has a 1x power dot sight - very similar to a Bushnell Holosight, it is much less intrusive than a scope but gets my sight and target on one sight plane, which is critical for me on moving game (eyesight again). I got to this setup because 1.) anything within 300-400 yards with a rifle is either a slam dunk or a shot I would not take and i.e. it is not a challenge and 2.) I am into the LRH with the rifle cause of the same reasons - a 450-700 yard shot with a rifle is much more challenging. With both situations I have to think a lot about my shot, not just see the animal and pull the trigger. I constantly have to make decisions (sometimes within a second) of what I can or can't do, which is the challenge part. Just my 2c, off topic slightly but it is a solution to your issue - two guns instead of one that takes too much time to deploy. Regards, Erik [/QUOTE]
