First off I am and will always be a Bowhunter, that's what I love the most. I used to hate opening day of gun season as I knew most of the deer did'nt have a chance after the slugs starting flying. Sure I used the shotgun but I was'nt really feeling to good about using it so I decided a ML would ease my feelings a little and I'd be back to my Primitive way of Hunting I liked best.
So I started Hunting with a Old Dixie Gun Works 50cal. we could only use round ball and no scopes. I harvested my first Deer a Buck with it and after that I was hooked for life with the ML. I even gave up my Rifle Hunts in PA as here in N.Y. we could'nt use a Rifle, again I felt those real long 300+yd shots with a Rifle were'nt satisfying to me as the deer never knew what hit them.
So from that point in my life it was Bow and ML. But the biggest part of a ML I like is it is the most Devestating Gun I have ever used.
I know the newer Inlines shoot a long way but there still a ML and it kinda contradicts to what I said about giving up the Rifle, but I feel better using the ML so that's why I like them. Hooked for Life!
