    What weapon and projectile is everyone using for the roar?

    I'm leaving the guns in the safe and going to use a compound bow only this years roar for a bit of a challenge, running 30" GT Hunter 7595 arrows with 100gr Muzzys @ 305fps.

    So what combo are you guys using on the stags this roar?

    I'll load some SSTs or Bergers for my .308 bush pig. I think the 130g Barnes are a bit light.

    303 single shot with a 215gr round nose woodleigh projectile doing about 2050fps. Canadians apparently use these for wild bear so I'm loaded for bear...

    Nicknamed hammer as they hit like Thor's hammer......

    I've had a good run over the last two weekends with my 17" barreled 284win pushing a 162g Amax, and have built good confidence with it, so will most likely use it. As it will be just as handy at 5 yards as it is at 500, and where I'm going there's plenty of potential for both.
