    CVA 12 gauges

    I have a CVA trapper that has a removable choke. I have not found any after market chokes that will work with it. There may be some, I just have not found any.

    How do you shoot open sights w bifocals? Your experiences?

    I had a second pair of glasses made for shooting iron sights. I had the right lens ground so that I could clearly see the front sight at a distance of 36" to 42". The left lens I had corrected to be able to see at a distance. I shoot with both eyes open, the left eye can see the target and...

    Cold weather brute!!! Pics to follow.

    I only have two things to say, he would be a brute in warm weather also and the only way it could be better is if you had used your trad bow on him.

    Old eyes syndrome

    I also struggled with the front sight becoming invisible as I aged. This year I finally had an eye exam and bought a prescription set of bi-focals for every day use. I asked my eye doctor for a second set of glasses that had my right lens corrected for a distance of 40" so that I could focus on...

    2 T/C Hawken on lay-a-way

    Yes, you could get a flintlock for your T/C, but you would have to replace the breech plug with a flint breech plug. Plus drill for vent. L&R makes an upgrade flint lock for T/C Hawken. If you could find a Green Mountain IBS flint barrel for T/C it would be a lot easier. But you will have...

    Will a flintlock stop a bear?

    Well, if I was in Grizz country with a flintlock I would probably weigh my rifle and carry an equal weight of bacon. If I was suddenly attacked by the Gbear I would toss him the bacon in hopes that would distract him. If that didn't work I am sure my past life would pass in front of me and...
