  1. I noticed that Under Armour is now making hunting boots. I've bought some of their clothes before, and I'm looking for some new boots so I was wondering what your over all impression of Under Armour hunting boots were. They felt pretty solid when I looked at them, but I was curious as to how rugged they are.

  2. When comparing, one could say that a crossbow is just a blend between a gun and a bow, you can enjoy the stability the gun experience will give you, but at the same time the challenge of letting loose a trajectory armed with a completely different type of ammunition, and one that has distinct limitations.
