  1. thanks, will do. I really like to tackle a issue and start somthing, I started a pretty big non-profit while in highschool and still. I just think if I started a potential non-profit for this is would be a lot of questionable aspects (funding, land, supplies, liability)
  2. I was at the sportsmans expo in Syracuse a few months back and met a guy who started an organization to help disabled/handicaped people get in the woods and hunt. I lost his business card and can't find anything online about it. I just want to give a helping hand to one of these groups and see what I can do to volunteer for them. If there isn't one out there I would really consider starting one and giving my best to get it going. What do you guys think? My biggest concern would be the liability, and getting land from people or the state to use as I have none sadly.
  3. I do agree with the accuracy at longer ranges. I wouldn't mind switching and trying SST's this fall, I just have seen some fail to expand when processing deer which is concerning to me. Yet I haven't really given them a fair chance.
  4. I have a Remington 870 that I bought 3 years ago. I've bought almost every slug out there. I got it down to these two as the best for two different reasons. Brenneke KO's they are rifled, which is the downside if you care about that. But they shoot great, always get the job done out at 100 yards. The reason I recommend them is because of the price. They are really cheap and I can always find them in stock. Lightfields hybrid exp 2 3/4 slug. They are not too expensive, at around 15 a box. The reason I personally use these is because they shoot great out of my gun, 2" 3 shot groups all-day at 100 yards. Besides the range benefit, they perform amazingly well in the field. I always have a nice mushroom expansion. They will reap havoc on the vitals. I've never lost a deer with these and they usually drop where I shoot them or 30 yards. The only thing I can say about them that isn't their strength is the range. I am not confident 150 yards or out. They really lose speed at 100 yards and the pattern opens up. Then again, how many shots with a slug are you going to take at over 140-150 yards in the woods. As to the others recommending the hornady SST, they do shoot great and are affordable. BUT beware that they don't do well for most applications in the woods at ranges under 75 yards. They shoot too fast and their design is horrible for expansion and mushrooming. I have been processing deer for awhile, and at the shop I've seen way too many SST's still in the deer looking like they came out of the box, and the hunter wondering why the deer ran football fields away. Short and simple. I would try the lightfield hybrid's if I were you, if they don't shoot well then get the hornady or copper solids
