Hunting pics as above help sell handgun hunting for sure.Hunting with revolvers in gun rags most often take a backseat to pistols that just look to much like the rifle hunters rig. I try to push handgun hunting to being like bow hunting. Knowing game and getting close. The book Handgun hunting which I own has very little hunting with my type of gun.I believe the Colt Alaska's number one handgun round is mentioned once but have not read the whole book. Like BP hunters we need to help those that show interest and be responsible in our sport.
Enjoying to circle of life

I agree. The best way for us to promote our activity is to get out there and do it (and post plenty of pictures and videos showing us at it.)

Here's how I promote it... There's nothing like showing a skeptical adult that a kid can do it.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

But CRal is "special" - and not the insert "politically incorrect" kinda special like his Daddy
Seriously - kid is a prodigy!
James - congratulations on another handgunned hog! I'll carry a sidearm into the turkey woods tomorrow, just in case I have the opportunity to catch up to you slowly over time. My only swine so far this year has been quietly terminated via thermal imaging...

Dur, thanks for the kind words. My only swine so far this year has been quietly terminated via thermal imaging... Don't slip too far over on the dark side.

Kim, your son is the future of the sport for sure. Now if you can just convince the rest of Americas youth to put the gameboys down & get outside. Congrats to Clay for being a fine ambassador for the sport.

The picture above is how I have passed along/promoted the sport of handgun hunting. My wife Jennifer also likes to hunt with a pistol. She is 5'2 & 106 pounds, if she can handle a Super Redhawk, anybody can. She typically shoots 240 gr. HP's out of her pistol.

Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.
