People who arent even gun people know about the Desert Eagle line of pistols.

But seeing the Desert Eagle on screen cant give them an appreciation of just what the hulking Mark XIX in .44 Magnum or .50 Action Express really feels like in the hand.

As a kid, the idea of taking part in a cast and blast, one of those adventure-filled excursions combining both hunting and angling outings, seemed a bit far-fetched, something you could only read about in magazines like Outdoor Life or Field & Stream.
