My personal interest in point-shooting with my Redhawk is that this is my woods gun. I don't expect to ever use it, but if I do, it is most likely going to be against something on 4 legs, moving in fast and from not very far away.

Luckily I have to 4-legged alert sirens of my own, but that is the extent of my fore-warning.

Carrying a long-arm is not an option: I am not a hunter, I am not hunting and it frankly isn't practical to have a rifle/shotgun slung over my arm. Even though I am in the forest, concealed is still the name of the game.
