Hello everyone,
I have been hanging around for a while reading many of your posts. It looks like you are all having way too much fun with this handgun hunting, so I have decided to join you. I have bow and rifle hunted since I was a teenager. But now I am ready for something else. I picked up a new model Blackhawk today in 41 magnum. Looking forward to practicing with it so I can deer and hog hunt with it next year. I am also planning on purchase some reloading equipment early next year in order to get best accuracy possible.

Excellent choice, and welcome to the madness ;-)
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Welcome to HH!
A good number of handgun hunters prefer the 41 mag. Almost cult like in a good way.

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
