    I figured as much Red. Seems to happen a lot around hobbies.

    I've been mildly interested in crossbows for a long time. No, not because of the Walking Dead but always thought they looked like fun. I assume they're not used for deer hunting because of the lower power and weight of the bolts? Seems like they would be easier for the average person to shoot accurately at short range but then again, I know virtually nothing about the hobby.

    My next door neighbor bow hunts. I watch him practice at the beginning of the season. Doubt I would ever get as good as you guys but bet I could do better than him.

    Well a 3D hog is like $65 bucks I think we all should throw in on one and then shoot for it if we get enough people.

    Depending on when and where, I would like to join in. I have an almost new GlenDel 3D Buck I can bring.

    Hell for that matter, I could even host it. I live off of Quintette, not far from the Escambia River Boat Ramp, and I have plenty of room to shoot.
