Congratulations Jbar. Nothing like getting your first kill with a muzzleloader. Looks like those shockwaves did a great job. Looks like the same results I'm getting from them. Again, congratulations on a nice deer.

Congratulations on your first muzzle loader deer. That Shockwave did exactly what it was supposed to do. That sure looks like a good eating buck. Many good meals there. Again, way to shoot. I suppose you don't like muzzleloader hunting... guessing from the smile on your face.
