    as you get ready for the hunting shows

    yes jaco you are dead right , if you base your decision on price alone better br9ing a firesuit because you will likely be burned - people prepared to pay a little more end up often getting a LOT more experience , trust me , the guy who has key permits available in june for that same year may be...

    450/400 to light?

    shakey , when you say young , how young are we talking , if we are talking a small person that will be recoils sensitive then 100% i would go with a well fitted 375 with a muzzle brake thats removable - that way practice will be pleasant and enjoyable and on the front line when actually hunting...
