My buddy hunts with a Cabela's Hawken Hunter, and had bad luck with ignition last season. It shot great at the range, but in the field it misfired every time a deer jumped up. The cap would fire, but not the charge. A second cap wold fire the charge, then a reload (loose Pyrodex - required in Colorado), hunt a few hours, get another chance, misfire, the second cap sets it off, etc, all day long.
The weather was about 50-60 degrees and clear, maybe 40% humidity. Any Ideas?
