    Much appreciated Mooseman. I was not clear on my intended use. 500 for animals would be my ethical max, but I’ll do my best to learn about extending the range for the gongs. I’m only new to that, as a back injury has pretty much shut down the bush hunts so off to the range from now on for the most part.
    Mooseman and CBH Australia like this.
