If my horse needed to be destroyed quickly for any reason then I would much rather she died with 18 holes in her than one innacurate shot that didn't kill her instantly and left her to suffer - even for a moment!

Hubby did loads of research to find the cheapest lol - and bought me mine online from this place in Milton Keynes http://www.amirashop.co.uk/ Bought mine two years ago though so you might find one cheaper elsewhere by now. You don't have to get it from Ireland.
