[QUOTE="bigdogone, post: 2321517, member: 116192"] Well I've used both. Great article by Larry Weishun in DSC Game Trails magazine this month where he writes about a recent handgun hunt and claims he's good with his pistol past 100 yrds. Wow. To me that's the key- be proficient with whatever you choose and know it's capabilities and yours. A doe right under the stand is different from a buck at 150. Basing my 357 mag poll answer on one shot kill stats maintained by FBI and making the leap that a 150-200 lb mamal is going to expire in a similar way given similar wounds, whether four-footed or two. Min pistol I've personally used is 41 mag at about 15 yds. Also used a 45 cal at similar distance, both on does. Both very effective. Here's a pic of last year's broad head. The cutting tip is bent where it struck a rib. Full pass through and expiry after 37 yrds. My point is, both archery and pistols work. Whatever your preference, get out there this fall and take a kid if you can to pass on nature's grandeur and the circle of life. Let's beat those anti's one new hunter at a time. [/QUOTE]
