I was surprised. I sent a message to Knight because they aren't taking phone calls. He got back to me in 5 min. I asked about the loaded red jackets. I wanted to make sure they had them in stock and is a Hazmat charged. Yes and no to those questions. Then I asked if it's really taking 3 weeks to ship. He said no it's now talking 4-5 weeks they're so busy. Groan.
The only powder I can buy is real black. No 209, #11 caps, or musket caps to be found. So, I have two choices. A flintlock or a Knight that uses the red jackets. No interest in another flintlock. Pain in the butt to hunt with in damp weather. I sold the crossbow at a great loss because Colorado said it was illegal. Draw length was too short. So, I need a weapon for elk. The Disc Extreme is the only Knight that will fit me. (LOP). Too heavy to put a scope on it. So, i'm stuck with crappy vision and open sights. As I would have been with a sidelock. Disc with red jackets and black powder is going to be a dirty gun and i'll need to use a boat load of powder for elk.
I could also get another legal crossbow. So, Disc or crossbow? What to do? Disc would be much cheaper than xbow. Those things are pricey.
