Common ML things that drive you nuts...

[rebel727]

Someone with a new Inline tells me how wrong I am for hunting with a Musket! :cursing:

Inlines tick me off. They shouldn't be allowed to be used in primitive weapons season. There's nothing primitive about them and now Ms. lets ya put a frickin scope on them and they won't let me use my 45-70 trapdoor springfield loaded with bp. That's a heckuva lot more primitive than a scope mounted inline.

We don't discuss inlines here folks.
If this turns into an inline this, and inline that I'm going to lock the thread.

:nono:

I get irked when my friend with a "more modern" type of muzzle loader :cursing: tries to convince me to mod my rifle to accept #209 primers so I can load pellets instead of that old fashioned powder.

Ticks tick me off but Black Powder anything is great with the exception of going to a BP show and finding a table with plastic beads and pink feathers trying to make a pipe look good. :cursing:

What is it that you would not do, that may be a common thing for other people? Related to ML shooting, that is. :haha:

I would never insist, impose, or strongly recommend that a newbie or other shooter use the same equipment and supplies and load exactly as I do!! I always keep alert for improvement, but to be dogmatically told I should be using this or that is unrealistic. After thirty years, I have explored or heard many of those possibilities!

Another example: when my gun goes off with a resounding crack, others will question the amount of powder I use. THEN, I hear how effective they are with about half the load. Yes, it works for them........not for me......... especially at 100 yards! (I could never master the lob-em-in factor.)

Broke a needle file on another project once. Rather than throw it away, I dropped it in my possibles sack to tighten the jaw screw. Fit just right and worked great.

Watching a shooter bounce the ramrod on the ball over and over.

Well it is sometimes annoying when I'm shooting the flinter at the range and someone asks me if I can shoot sabots or use Triple 7 pellets :shake:

But its cool when people admire the wood and craftsmanship, then eagerly accept when I ask them if they would like to shoot it

 

[bob308]

well you took my big one. first we all are not pc we own guns. it should be hc historic correct.
second part is going to a shoot and hearing the aurgument over what is and is not hc.

going to a shoot at a club and some guys there shooting in their m.l. then when the shoot starts they watch for a while then go home. will not buy a target and support their own club.

going to a shoot and a newbe has a problem.[no problemwith that part] but then some guy with more war stories then a 5 star gen. helping him with the rifle pointed at me or some other shooter.

I promise not to get obturated with statements like urine. :blah:

Sounds like that's another reference to that "cat whiz" stuff? :rotf:
