From my youth I have always seemed to be more comfortable with a heavier firearm. I felt it helped me settle in for the shot and hence produced more accuracy if I did my part. The past 3 to 4 years I struggled to get the kill shots I`ve taken in the past. Till this season. I got my eye surgery taken care of this past fall. I made a commitment to use the Accura mr a lighter muzzleloader.
I carried it 95 percent of the time. My friends asked me why aren`t you using your 1100 or .308?
Well I had to answer my own question are you still up to it? Being older lighter was easier to carry but was a little out of my comfort zone. I also had to concentrate more with only one shot. Hopefully it would produce better results. The results are in. I went 3 for 3 with a beauty of an 8 point late season. So my point is as we age and are still physically able we can modify our preferences and still enjoy the hunt. Thanks for listening . Good day.
