RE: Black Powder Newbie in Virginia
I don't know if they still produce them, but I love my T/C renegade in 54 caliber. I have killed 2 elk with it. I like a rear peep sight and a front fiberoptic bead. I could shoot 4" groups at 100 yards with this set up and 405 gr powerbelts.
Power to you for staying traditional/open sight. It makes it all that much sweeter when you connect!
