    Followup - BrightSight Paint

    A little reasearch aswers my own question: http://www.chris.cc/tritium.htm Interestingly, they say that in bright daylight, they are inferior to regular sights.

    What is tritium?

    Followup - BrightSight Paint

    Wouldn't this only work in the evening? I would imagine that glow in the dark paint would only glow after exposure to light, which means it might work in the evening, but not in the morning? I suppose that you could shine a flashlight at it for a few minutes? Just trying to decide how...

    Anyone use Kap Kovers?

    Plus it is attached to the rifle by a leather strip, so you won't lose it with cold fingers. Here is a web page on them if you want to see what they look like. And no, I don't own stock, but just like roundball, can't figure out why more people don't have them...

    Anyone use Kap Kovers?

    I found a little item a couple of years ago for my T/C renegade percussion that I really like. It is called a Kap Kover. It is a brass cover with a rubber O-ring inside. it fits down over your nipple with a snug fit (due to the O-ring). It does two things: makes the nipple assembly...

    sighting in renegade?

    Maybe this is sacraledge, but I just don't like the sight picture that the rear "V" sight gives me in a hunting rifle. On my 54 cal T/C renegade, I put a rear tang peep sight on. It has very good left/right and up/down adjustments and can be adjusted wherever you need it to be. I shoot about...

    Elk hunting

    vanstg: Doesn't seem like you are having much luck getting answers to your question does it. Seems to me that most of these guys shoot something bigger than 50 caliber. You may have to go to the "darkside" (the inline forum) to find some guys that will help you much with a 50 caliber...

    Elk hunting

    By the way, if you ever try to compare bullets/loads between muzzleloaders on paper, you will be disappointed if you use ft/lbs. I like the Taylor index. No one mathmatical formula is the be-al for "knock down power" but I like how this formula works for big, slow bullets...

    Elk hunting

    Vanstg: I have heard that the 370 maxiball is great elk medicine. What are your other options? My 1:48 54 caliber percussion rifle likes powerbelts too. I have killed 2 elk with the 425 gr powerbelts in this rifle. Neither went more than 5 yards. They give me about a 4" 100 yard group...

    Elk hunting

    Good points all stumpkiller. I can find nothing in your beliefs to really disagree with. Especially about it being a less crowded sport if we truly went primative. It won't bother me at all if Colorado does happen to go really primative. I could live with it. For the record, when I hunt in...

    Elk hunting

    Just curious but isn't there a seperate topic area for in-lines? might be good to keep all aspects of those guns there, target shooting, hunting, loads and projectiles and whatever else folks do with them... tg: Just curious, but isn't there a seperate topic area for percussions and...

    Elk hunting

    Then maybe "primative" is the wrong word to use because you are correct: an in-line is definately not an authentic primative weapon. Maybe I should have used "limited effective range" weapon. IMO that is why they allow special seasons for muzzys and bows, because their effective range, and...

    Elk hunting

    Not true Wolf, I had a 270 rifle misfire on me on a 10 point whitetail (true story)! LOL We will probably not ever agree on this one, so I will agree to dissagree, but I don't believe that using an inline gives me any advantage over you in the field. It is no more accurate than my T/C...

    Elk hunting

    That's right, the ban on in-lines lasted only one year. I have always used my 54 cal side hammer T/C renegade until now, but will be using the Omega this year. Let me repeat with no if, ands or buts: The Omega is legal in Colorado. In-lines are legal in Colorado. And Powerbelts are legal in...

    Elk hunting

    Roaddog: you are misinformed. The Omega is legal in Colorado, I made sure before I purchased it and I know many Colorado hunters that use an Omega and powerbelts. What is illegal are sabots and any gun that can be loaded through the breech. I will be using loose 777, powerbelts (slightly...

    Elk hunting

    Lots of good advice from Cayugad. I too, think the 50 caliber is more than adequate for elk. I own a 54 caliber sidelock, but also own a 50 caliber T/C Omega inline. I will be hunting elk in Colorado next fall with the Omega and will be probably be using 90 grains of triple 7 powder and...
