RE: How many folks shoot with a ...
I'm not sure which got me hooked on single shot guns,...a bow or a muzzleloader. They both tend to be single shot propisitions, so a single shot rifle seemed like a natural.

Like you, I feel if I can handle it during archery and muzzleloader season, then why not the rest of the year?
I think a person tends to take higher % shots and it really adds some more sport to the hunt.
