Hello my name is Aaron. I just joined the site. I am a toolmaker for Ruger Firearms in Newport, NH. This year will be my first year hunting with a handgun. I will be using a Ruger GP100 in .357 caliber. Most of my shots are 50 yards or less. I have had great success with the long guns and muzzleloaders. My wife and daughter hunts as well, and most of the time I accompany them. Makes sense to carry a handgun instead of the rifle. Look forward to learning about this new type of shooting/hunting.
