Hey kodiakemt414 I also have the CVA Kodiak and really enjoy it. I've only been shooting it for the past year, but it sure does a nice job.

Yep...a refugee from the "other site". I really enjoyed all the information I gleaned about inlines there, and was really disappointed that the inline forum was closed. Oh well, glad that there are some other familiar names here. Can't wait to post the pics of the deer I'm gonna shoot with my Omega this year!

Yeah, baby! ThatWOULD have been the right thing to have done! Apparently theadministrator had underlying reasons that he didn't want to be upfront about! Well, all I've got to say is, I won't be visiting that forum any longer! It's just going to be a bigger party here and at the othermodern inline forums from now on!
Welcome to all the new members! Here's to modern inline muzzleloading!

I emailed the owner, and admin, and asked why.

He wrote back that the page was about tradition and history, neither which the inline has or contributes too. So it was just like I figured, he tried to open a modern page to keep modern shooters off his "traditional" pages but caused him more trouble than it was worth in his perspective.

If it was me, I would have just sent an email out just saying that, instead of the page got out of hand. Hey, he at least emailed back, and told me the reason.

Well, you've got to respect the guy's wishes, after all, it is his forum. It's just too bad that the traditional shooters and the inline shooter can't get along. We are all shooters and we need to stick together, not feud amongst ourselves over what type of firearm we choose to use!

I'm from Canada and we have very few areas of expertise when it comes to ML. I depend on my southern brethern to keep me up to date on current trends and situations. It is a shame that we "ALL" have lost a valuable resource tool.
Someone has a trailer to their posts that coins the phrase,
"Stick together boy's, we're all in this together"
It is a shame that a "Moderator" didn't pick up on that.

Actually that was a moderator who had that as a tag line. Plains99 I believe I hope we find him again.

I thought it was Plains99, just wasn't sure so I didn't add his name.

I used to frequent that forum. I don't know why people have to act thataways. I shoot flint only, but have no animosity toward modern MLing. I just always was intrigued with getting a gun like that to fire and taking a nice deer with such a primitive weapon. I think that some traditionalists feel superior because they do it the more primitive way and want to look down on anyone who doesn't share their way of shooting. I posted one thought to these elitist snobs: Our forefathers shot flintlocks because that is what was available. If an improvement came along. you can bet they embraced it. They had NO nostalgic connection to their guns. Their guns were tools and they relied on them to survive. If a more reliable gun was invented, by god you can bet they would upgrade with no hesitation. If a longhunter came back in a time machine today and saw the modern guns available, he would surely shake his head in bewilderment as to why anyone would use those old outdated relics of the past. Put things in perspective folks and lighten up! Were all sportsmen! Everyone likes what they like.And that's the way it is.

What's really funny to watch during the elimination of the modern categories is the Prima Donna's that are now rubbing themselves rapidly, all giddy over their paper thin "victory" over the modern muzzleloader. There are a couple that are very amusing to watch. Like they have an enhanced sense of entitlement, talking about "housekeeping" all of the "bad" folks every time someone wonders why the modern categories have been removed and remarks that they don't understand or convey their dissapointment.

Little tiny people.

I'm still getting hammered by the Regular Trollers over there. The real disappointing thing is trolling is very tolerated there, so long as you are one of the "Donna's".
I don't troll just to pick arguments and fights. I don't troll at all unless for aquatic species.

But hey, I still like that forum as I am interested in history, but it's tough going so far as the Donna's have my signature pre-targeted.

Still, there are some really nice folks there with a wealth of information.

Just like here as well.
