Re: Poor Mans Double Rifle

Very Nice!! I have killed many Deer here in Ohio with slugs over the years ,one that is memorable was a Big Doe that offered a Texas Heart shot at 50 yards. the slug traversed the length of Her body and I found it under the skin at the base of the neck. That's a Good looking job.
