Jerrwhy,
A bow is on my short list of things to get. It's a toss up between a lever action in .30-30, or a compound bow. I'm leaning toward bow, but that may change.
hahaha,
quite a diverse "list" you've got! LOL
well with the what was it? 10acres you're getting??
Go with the lever action!
I had a Winchester 94 Carbine .44 Mag in 16" barrel.. oh man that thing was SWEET! we live out in the boonies.. and that was my house gun. Easy handling, light, 10-rnd capacity, yet with enough punch & range to dispatch anything in my neighborhood. On MY list of 'things i Regret selling' !!
