Ed...

I can see it now... You get to your stand and it's just starting to get light enough to see. Within a few minutes, you see silhouettes of deer coming toward you taking their time and nonchalantly feeding as the get closer. By the time they're in range, it's legal hunting time and can see them all clearly so you level the sights on a nice fat doe and squeeze the trigger. Unfortunately you hear an audible "click" and immediately realize you forgot to cap the nipple! All heads pop up and are on alert but that gentle wind you walked into on the way to your stand is in your favor so they quickly settle back to feeding.

You slowly turn that barrel over, all the while keeping your eye on the deer. When the bottom barrel rotates to the top, you see there's a cap in place so you level the sights again... BOOM!! The gun roars and when the smoke clears, you see that nice fat doe is on the ground giving a few final kicks before her lights go out! You look down at the gun you're holding and say to yourself... "Damn, I'm glad I decided to buy this one!"
