Bullet boards?

[wattlebuster]

I have loading blocks on every bag I have an its not for the purpose of a (Fast/Quick/Speed) reload cause anybody that has any brains at all knows this game aint about speed. I have them because I like the looks of a curly maple loading block with lots of curl in it. Just plain pretty to me. BUT the biggest reason is its just HANDIER than reaching in the bag for patch lube and ball. The simple ease of placing over the muzzle and sliding it down in one easy motion is what serves it purpose for me. If they were HC/PC :idunno:

I am learning quickly that one must choose words in such a way as to be perfectly clear in contextual intent, else they be misunderstood. When I said "quick follow-up shot" I assumed that anyone at all familiar with hunting with MLs would know that "quick" is a purely relative term, and that a "follow up shot" means to load up in preparation for a finishing shot on a less that perfect initial hit OR a second shot at your quarry, which is (at least where I'm from) entirely possible and even probable. In all of my experiences out in the woods, I have never NOT reloaded after shooting at a deer, even if I put him down in his tracks (too cautious, maybe). Also, I have never NOT payed attention to what happens immediately after a shot is fired, OR gone stomping off after a potentially wounded critter before some time has passed. Sheesh!

To that point, in retrospect, I should have simply asked "What are the pros and cons on the use of bullet boards in hunting situations?"

And I believe that the question has been sufficiently answered by several of you, so thanks.
