Last year i had tags for Pronghorn, but never got a shot. Three years ago, i had two opportunities at pronghorn whilst carrying a muzzle loader, but had no tag. We are having a mild winter thus far; it is possible the pronghorn hunting will improve.

Thanks for the pics, Ron. I didn't know T/C made a design change on the falling block assy. I don't think I have ever seen one of the older Omegas I guess. About what year did they change this?

With only a few shots down the barrel, it printed its first 3/4" 100 yard group with 200 gr Shockwave/SSTs. Its going to be a great gun.

Yeah that was another awesome deal they had going on. Another one I considered buying for sure. What powder load are you using with the 200gr. Shockwave?
