    Behind the hut.. Talking to some blokes who had just come out of there and an inquisitive wap type spiker wouldn't leave them alone. Im not advocating shooting wap types. But deer not far away.

    Im running 18” barrel 168 A-max not pushed very hard doing 2541fps. I’ve had a 16 before and don’t think the extra 2 inches is worth taking off . 18 in my opinion is perfect length.
