Iam from Colorado and hunt during ML season.There seems to be some confusion on our regulations.

NO scopes
NO pellets Pyrodex is OK
NO sabots and projectile must not exceed twice the diam.
40cal min on deer, bear, ' lopes
50cal min for Elk,Moose
and the season is only 1 week not 1month.It starts in the middle of bow season and that does not make the bow hunters

As for the ? I don' t believe that my side-lock is as primitive as throwing rocks.But it' s a darn sight more primitive than one of these " magnum" inlines!!!!!!

But with that said....this is Colorado and the rules that we must follow just about make it even(Weather not with-standing).If you can HONESTLY shoot a ML ACCURATLY at 200yrds well MR.Boone and MR.Crockett would be proud!!!!

It will make you a better hunter!!
