Thank you sir!

Its kinda wierd for me getting back into shooting this muzzle loader.

Back when I was a kid, I hated this gun. I remember having deer standing there as I could not get the gun to go off.

One time I actually did shoot at a deer and hit it. I got so excited trying to reload, I broke the ramrod. I had to walk back to the truck to get another. Luckily, my dad brought a spare.

I went back to track the deer and jumped it up. Stupid me would shoot at it limping away and miss. I'd then watch it stop, stand there and then lay down.

I'd reload but now couldn't see the deer. This scenerio played out several times until I finally got the deer.

I swore, back then, I'd never hunt with a muzzle loader again. That was 30 years ago, and here I am interested in them again.

Been shooting an inline for a few years now (Omega) and have taken several deer with it. I'm even considering taking the Hawken out, if I get it to go off more relably.


Thanks again for the links!
