[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 693621, member: 3745"] Well, Joe...... I hope it is a quite a few more years if my health holds out. I am not ready to hang it up just yet, just old enough to feel the reality of what getting old does. The mind is willing, the body.........?? My big heavy magnum guns are just a crutch for my skill level.:D I just am not confident with a 1000 yard shot with a 8 or 9 pound rifle. Not to mention the fact that one that packs the kind of punch I want for that range is probably going to have significant recoil. I have just made the calculation that when I go to the trouble of climbing that mountain, I don't want to have to pass up a shot opportunity because I did not bring enough gun! And if I am not going to bring enough gun, why climb the mountain?:) [/QUOTE]
