Good Gun Deals This Week

Hello friends,

Many of you have asked me for advice on gun searches as it's a bit of a hobby for me to "see what is out there" each week. I discussed this with @AfricaHunting.com and he permitted me to create a running post on the Classifieds section.

The Cannon Myth: Why I'd Rather Hit Than Bruise

Let me preface this by saying that I'm not planning to have a fist fight here :) I tend to sometimes think and act differently to conventional wisdons - Carry enough gun, Bigger is always better ...

The Canon Myth: Precision over power.​

Let’s talk about the biggest flaw in dangerous game hunting: the "bigger is always better" mentality. We’ve all seen it a hunter turns up with a massive, shoulder-bruising canon 577, 600, Overkill ..only to develop a terminal case of the...
