This #10 TSS is tiny, I picked 4 out of one side of the breast, but managed to miss one. Luckily when I bit down on it, I wasn’t chomping and it didn’t break my tooth this time. So tell me the trick to it please, Robinhedd "Guess I just got too much Mathews in me!"

If you see dark piece of feather in the breast there is shot in there somewhere Originally Posted by Wiley Coyote I Well, the way I see it is there's just too many assholes On a good day there's a bunch of assholes in here. On a bad day there's too many assholes in here.

Chipped a dang tooth. I think this thread jinxed me. 😂 Oh well. I told him no more body shooting! I don’t care how close they are. Originally Posted by BPS This is Aldeer!

They are hand-held and are in the $30 range. They look to be about the size of a hair brush.
