Hi, I'm Terry and have had a SBH for quite a few years. I've used it here and there for scouting walks, but never my main hunting weapon. I discovered this site, and now I'm re-thinking my hunting ideas. I live in SW new hampshire, and like 45 guy, there are alot of bears in the local area. Shooting a bear with a pistol would be thrilling. This site has tons of info, I check every day.
