[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2216264, member: 103947"] If your slinging a rifle, I'd say your an easy defenseless meal. A sidearm allows easier access when hauling a pack, even with bow in hand. Even then it's rolling the dice on deploying it in a last minute close encounter. Much rather have a long gun in hands in that scenario. Your pretty handicapped with archery equipment while hunting with bow in hand. I'd agree on the Ti weight issue for sure. More recoil, less weight. A trade off for sure. With a chest rig, weight isn't as much a factor for me within reason. I do see myself using my 4" .44 mag in the chest rig on trips more than prior to having that set up. In most cases and most locations I hunt, the G20 will be a better choice. Lions are most of what live in those areas. Black bears also. [/QUOTE]
