    Do you prefer a smoothbore over rifles?

    Even though I have both, when it gets right down to it, I'm about 60-40 in favor of the smoothbore. I've always been a fan of the shotgun since I was old enough to handle my dad's old Stevens 16 ga single shot. From there it transitioned into muzzle loading doubles and back to single barrel...

    Do I just have a “short-range” rifle?

    If I can keep most of my shots on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper at a full 100 yards from a rest, I consider it a good days shooting. I don't know, maybe I have low expectations, but at 80 yards, I still call it "minute of deer." Especially if standing erect and swaying like a metronome in a wind...

    Do I just have a “short-range” rifle?

    Due to the nature of the poor ballistic efficiency of a round ball, the trajectory arch pretty much makes any traditional muzzleloader short range. I try to limit my shots at game to inside 100 yards, 80 yards preferably. The second muzzleloader I had was a TC Hawken .50 caliber kit with a 1:48...

    Do I just have a “short-range” rifle?

    I have found that peep sights help my eyes focus better. I just put a Pedersoli Soule tang on my High Wall and I've noticed a huge difference. I've yet to put one on a muzzleloader, but I'm seriously thinking about it.

    I blame poor shooting at 100 yards on old eyes.....o_O

    That kind of week...in a good way!

    Some time ago when I was young into muzzle loading, I was at a shoot and it was one of those days where I wasn't doing very well. Before you could quit, you had to fire 5 shots at the target. I was in the process of doing this when the gentleman next to me asked to barrow my short starter. The...

    What did you do today

    Trying to get the yard spruced up for my daughter's wedding that is coming up way too fast. At night, when everyone is asleep and it is quiet, I hibernate to my den (gun room) and clean my already clean guns. Hoping to go out and sight my newly acquired Griffith .54 mountain rifle in this weekend.
