thanx

thanks rocky and evan. yes i will be shooting factory and no moose and elk are not new to me and (i know this is gonna stir up the flames) but moose- well in excess of 1000lbs. i shot one 4 yrs ago and after guts=20%, hide=5-10%, head=5-10% and the legs and ribs were cut back as much as we could the moose weighed 701lbs on the hook. do the consevitave math and you get in the neighborhood of 1500lbs live weight. and as for elk a good bull can go 1000lbs easy. this aint texas, the average WT weighed in excess of 300lbs live weight.and they were 140" class bucks not biggin's. how do the bear claws preform? are they any better than the failsafes?
