hey guys! just wanted to introduce myself. i have lurked here for awhile and i have just got back into handgun hunting. i laid off for a few years to persue everything with my recurve:) anyways im back to toting my ruger SA and GP100, both in .357. i have taken a few deer and a hog with them in the past. i simply hunt like im bowhunting....40yrds is a long shot for me:) and the lil .357 seems to work great on these bama deer.

anyways, just wanted to say hey and thanks for all the awesome threads!
