I still can't figure out why they call the traps "Live Traps". All the Racoon and Possum that I catch in mine never come out that way.

Every ML is different in that regard. Same goes with bullet and powder data.

Put up a paper target at 25 yards and start tinkering with your screwdriver. The measurement will be in inches. How those inches translates into yardage with muzzleloader bullets and powder has too many variables to consider. I flunked that test at the University Of Muzzleloaders...lol

Off-topic... a fewirregular CVA trigger commentson new gunsare popping-up. If yours feels way-too-heavy (or) way-too-light, go to CVA.com for a search on their tech department email or phone number. I read two instances with no fingers on the triggers during ignition. Both were different models.... I shoulda' kept that info - but didn't. My Bad!!!

Most sights with a ramp rear sight will give about 3" with one mark at
100 yards. A peep sight has smaller marks so it takes about 5 to do the same.

In your manual it will explain the adjustment of the rear sight. There is a screw on the top and side. You unloosen the screw for each job. On some sights you them MANUALLY have to move the rear sight. So the screw on the side you are referencing, loose in then using your fingers move the rear sight. After which re tighten.

Remember, move the rear sight in the direction you want the projectile/bullet to travel. An example is; your shots are hitting right and low. Move the sight elevation up the ramp to move the shots up, and slide the rear sight to the left to bring your shots over.
