And this is the reason

That one has been a lot of fun. Still plenty of experimenting needs to be done as well as reloading my own ammo. No time for that now with the Colorado Muzzleloading season coming up here on the 10th of September. Plenty of other stuff to get cleaned and ready, have to rebuild the front end again on our F250 as Fords engineers SUCK. I swear, one year it was an engine rebuilt 2 days before the hunt on an ATV, a water pump replacement last year the day before the hunt and now this year the cycle starts all over again.

My Wolf is all ready to go. I was supposed to use my Optima but the stock dipper is a rip off and i'll just go an open a case against him with the better business bureau. I built an great plains rifle and refinished another stock is 2 weeks VS his 2 months for a "uh, oh the stock is already in primer" response 2 months ago.

Nope. i emailed him a handful of days ago and notta in return. The last email i got he said its in primer and if i wanted, he could just send it back along with a refund and i figured, i waited this long, a couple more weeks wont hurt. I also reminded him of when my hunt starts and that i need it back before the hunt. I still have his wifes number so i may just call and tell her to tell him to email me ASAP.

yeah tell me about it. Watch my eye when i squeeze off the first shot. I had been messing with the camera to long and forgot to put my muffs on. That 20" barrel is like an m80 firecracker going off right next to your ear.

that explains the first shot. what about number 2 and 3. Did you figure you were already deaf from the first shot so why bother.

And the first shot must have deafened you because you left the muffs off for the second and third shot also.
