Most likely. You may get lucky, and find one with the proper draw length and weight for you. Mine was good, i just bumped the weight up.

I just want to add that the fiber optic sight would certainly help for low-light target acquisition of a turkey or deer... but it's definitely not NEEDED.

Fine. Shoot him. You can deal with the legal bills and incarceration. Me? I'm going to use deadly force only in the event that deadly force is threatened against myself or loved ones. I am concerned about how you seem to have a desire to shoot someone...

Congrats. You can never go wrong with an 870.

I was convinced that I would be purchasing a crossbow for my first archery weapon this year until I fired a compound bow for the first time. Using a peep sight and release is identical IMO to firing a rifle with a peep sight. You still need a controlled trigger squeeze, and the sight picture is the same, just rotated 90*. I just bought my first bow this year(old used Matthews Solocam), and after a few months of playing around with it I can shoot a 2-3" group at 20yds. Yes a crossbow is fun, and gives you a little extra range, but the compound gives me more satisfaction, and is way more fun for me.

No need for a rear sight. If you really want a fiber optic front I'm sure someone can recommend one, but I would stick to just the factory bead sight for now. I've destroyed cases upon cases of clay pigeons and killed many birds with nothing more than a bead.

I edited my statement for you.

IMO, unless you reload, it sucks. It lacks the velocity or capacity of 9mm, and also lacks the big fat bullet weight of .45.

I would recommend getting a GSG-1911 instead. $300, and runs like a raped ape on bulk ammo, plus you can modify it as much as you want.

No.

You're better off learning to shoulder the weapon properly to handle the recoil than adding some silly knoxx stock to it. Slap a rubber butt-pad on there and call it a day.

The green makes the tacticool though!

Not yet... I plan on doing so as soon as I get home from my honeymoon. Also planning on adding a magwell and some new sights. Cmoooooon weddin' monies!

Sounds like S&W won't ship the Pro to any dealer in NJ.

Impossible. The old man went 2 for 2. No Mosin can do that.

Correct. And if you wind up on public hunting ground I'd say at minimum a full blaze orange vest and hat. Can't be too careful on public land. Be sure whatever you pick is warm!

Camo isn't needed for gun season, just stick with something warm that isn't tan or have any white blotches. I'll let someone else chime in on camo for bow season.

I wish I had thought about it sooner, man. Offer stands if you need anything though.

LMK if you guys need any ice or anything... I'm a short drive away, bud.

Locked before this gets out of hand.

Im unavail both dates.

Congrats... these damn things seem like they're multiplying... I guess I should shoot one to see what the appeal is.
