And then you hve the fact that in line muzzle loading rifles are every bit as traditional as side lock percussion rifles. In lines were first patented in 1808. Your argument and bias holds no water what so ever. Basicaly Muzzle loading has come full circle. So quit whining about what other people use and go enjoy hunting and shooting.
The Dreyse needle gun of 1848.
I'm well aware of the first no so inlines that are called inline today. Hardly the same gun.
The fact remains that Colorado banned inlines one year, so i'm not the only one who feels this way.
As for the 300yd shots. Ron isn't the only one who's tried them. Most CF guys won't take the shots. Even with only a 6" drop.
I'm going hunting for a few hours. Later.
