Default No luck with the GPR Flintlock

Well my Brother-in-Law and I hunted the week and came away with a nice little 8 point buck that he shot on Thursday. His camera (a high tech disposable ) hasn't been developed yet so we have to wait for the pic. Unfortuneately it was taken with a CF and not my GPR. I couldn't quite convince him into using one of my Deerstalkers flinter's. I still have a Controlled Hunt in Dec to attend to, so, finger's crossed......

The only way you will get the confidence with that rifle is to hunt with it. That's one reason I practice on the target range in all kinds of weather. So I know that when I hunt I have the same chance of it going off on the range as in the field.

Good luck with the upcoming hunt. And congratulations on the deer.

Thanks cayugad, I was using my GPR but he wouldn't go with the Deerstalker. lol

I did have one chance but the buck didn't co-operate.

Well I have for years been wanting to test different bullets. The only times the deer seem to appear is when I have a traditional rifle with roundball or conical. So maybe the wildlife is trying to tell me something. I sure like the looks of those GPR. I even bid on one at an auction site, but the person had a hidden starting price that later turned out to be as high as I could buy it in the store. I wonder why they come to an on line auctionlike that to sell a rifle at the same price I can buy the thing from the local Wal Mart?
