RE: New to muzzleloading
Too late - its history.I went way beyond what should be needed to get a gun to shoot even marginally well.
Four different powders in wide range of charge, 4 or 5 conicals(best pattern could be matched with some shotguns), and at least 5 sabot combo's that never approached a group useful outside of 20 yds.
Sent back for evaluation - returned with a huge scratch in the laminate stock and the advise to shoot pellets - which I refuse to do. After 4 unanswered calls requesting to talk with a supervisor, I gave up and stopped the hemorrhaging. Sold a top of the line $500 plus anchor for a $100 to a friend willing to use pellets and limit range. With powder, projectiles and shipping, lost well over $500 - needless to say, Tc will never see another dime and I am not bashful about sharing the reason. I know others have received nothing but fine service from them, but this was not so in my case.
The best customer service department is the one never needed - TC's is reportedly good because they get far more practice then they should.
