I do. I've killed several hogs, a couple nice bucks, and bucket loads of squirrels with the short guns.


50 yards


Under the tree I was in close.


95 yards.

lol, I see shorties and I think anything under 14 in... muwahahahaha...

I love my 4 5/8ths SBH in 44 Mag! It is a constant companion. It has also been my repugnance with loads. After a LOT of work, I finely got it down 1.5 -2 in groups at 25 yards. (All of my others will literally stack at 25...)

Those are rifles without the butt-stock! LOL!

I have a 5-inch SRH in .500 Linebaugh that does pretty well.....

My 4 3/4" .500WE was up first at bat this year in the revolver rotation - however, the whitetail doe that fell victim is not nearly as impressive as the bucks and moose pictured above!

Everything taken with a handgun is impressive!
