RE: 50 vs 100
Most of my muzzleloader hunting is 100or 150yards or less, andusually in the deep snow via white camo and nose into the wind.....deer get stoopid in the deep snow. Often things are up close and personal......
Occasionally though, I get a shot that is a long way off, with time to decide a shot or not. Glass, laser, clickin' comeups, all fall into place....and if there is a still a shot I take it. 250 is my cut off and that has to be a perfect scenario on many levels.
Proven systems tend to not fail within the confines of diligent boundaries.............
