Cayugad, where did you find a ram rod that extends? I just looked on the CVA website and the only rods they had were not extendable. I do have another range rod that is alot longer than the regular one, sticks about 8 to 10 inches out when I put it in the holder which is what I had to use for the last 2 deer I took last year, I used it to load the bullet but took it out of the holder when I took the shot. I'll try seeing if it shoots the same with the range rod in at full lengh and see if it shoots any differently.
Thanks

http://www.foxridgeoutfitters.com/detail.cfm?section=16&subsection=149,197&p roduct=4855 this is the extender short starter that you can attach to the end of the ramrod also to extend it if you need a little longer rod. The other thing I use is like described. It gives me a T handle but then folds up and swivels out of the way when I carry the ramrod in the rifle. This give you more power on the cleaning jag and for pulling things out of the barrel. Both are kind of handy. The T-handle short start is actually a pretty good short starter. I bought two of them and keep one on the range rod and one as a short starter since the ends on the T are made for different shaped sabots.....
