Killer Instinct Crossbows has introduced the Lethal 405HD Crossbow. Featuring a newly redesigned stock that is shorter and more compact for easy maneuverability, the Lethal 405HD features new rubberized styling at all touchpoints, including its forearm, grip and cheek weld. As an added bonus, the rubberized nature of these contact points make them all feel warmer in cold weather.

Michigan Mayor Looks Down on Guns and Dogs

“If you’ve got a gun, you should be ashamed of yourself,” said Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand.
