Man I read these post and kinda reminds me of this show I was watching on the Outdoor channel today. This guy is hunting on one of those awsome deer infested hunting ranchs. Anyhow he has one of the most reliable muzzloading rifles you can buy (Knight Disk) and he has two miss fires on a 150 class buck. He realizes that he didn't unscrew his second safty out all the way. Well the next day he trys again. Another nice buck maybe 130 class. His gun miss fires again. I guess what I'm saying is this stuff never happens to me. Maybe because I cut my bowhunting teeth on public land and bucks don't come easy so there is no room for mistakes. You might only get one chance at a buck and when that chance comes you better be ready
