My name is Dale . I am new shooting things that don't go BANG. I live near Duluth Minnesota, the land of the under paid and over taxed. I am 64 years old, and found that my body just cant take the pounding of the recoil from my pop guns. So I had to decide that in order to keep up deer hunting that I was going to have to pick throwing rocks at the deer, or start to fling sharp sticks there way. Being that rocks are to hard to find under one to two feet of snow, I took up with the sharp sticks. To order help me get the sticks a flying, I picked up a Ghost 400. Now I am hooked on xbows. It was 2 deg above zero when I told my wife I was going to go out and sight in my Ghost . Once again I had to prove to her how nuts a guy can be in order to try to kill a deer.
If you cant out run it - KILL IT!
