I acquired a couple sets of C's but have read up on this a lot and the fact that I will not have a supply chain bringing me replacements I will be acquiring some american made steel versions. I'm not super old so my thought on weight is mo PT...........

Multi strike...

I'd say if you keep getting shot, you ought to change the landscape you're lookin' at !
