Thats exactly what I was thinking
I was thinking the same, that if i use a 2kLb winch with pulley , I dont need a hoist and that will work with my high ceiling barn, plus I get the longer remote cable or even wireless now.
Thx
50yards and under that 18" barrel will be still pretty accurate to drop any deer in NY. Finding ammo that it likes to eat will be the challenge OP faces for the short term.
kmartison is an awesome guy and puts you on geese. I did the opener with him and we dropped a few that day. Wish my shooting would have been better too.
