I understand that you do not understand ,so I assume you want to learn something beyond your limitedAll I received on here as to why anyone uses an in-line, is they want modern technology. That doesn't make any sense to me. A muzzleloader is, by definition, an archaic firearm. So, if people want to mix an archaic firearm with modern technology, that's OK with me, I am not judging. I'm trying to understand. If you felt judged, I'm sorry you felt that way. I'm not used to people being so easily put off.
As far as politics & religion, they are my own beliefs and have no tie-in to this forum. I'm not sure why you brought that up. Unless you're trolling...
experience . . Congrats on your choice (a good one ) and then you go and lecture long time shooters with (LOADS) of info and experience that you need to know and screw it up big time by above statement . If you view the comments responding they all have a common theme ,not off putting just ( great) here's another know it all and doesn't understand . I take it back ,this just might not be the place for you /
With the exception of my CVA 50 cal Optima V2 pistol utilizing an after market stock adapter (AR 15) I can shoot 40/45 cal with sabots and full bore 50 cast and hold 4-5 inch @ 200 yds all day long (4x Leupold scope) . I do not have the skill to shoot yardage otherwise with a pistol . I hunt for meat and our area is not friendly to bows/hand guns / bows and other short range (rocks come to mind) . Least you think me ignorant I too hunt mostly side locks /Kibler SMR s and the above CVA Pocket Rocket but most of all I enjoy hunting /killing stuff on a regular basis (eat regular) its a habit .The difference is we both see a need to learn ,some day I'll get into inlines more but I don't think I'll do it by pissin people off . I can answer questions on casting /side locks and flint guns and learn about in lines/ sabots /primers not found on my choice of muzzy but I will end up there / EdI have 40 years of experience with Muzzleloaders. Although I no longer compete, I have experience shooting competition with with the North/South Skirmish Assn. I own over 20 sidelocks. Some were made purely for competition.
What I don't have, is experience with In-Lines. I never understood the fad or why Smith & Wesson took T/C and destroyed the company by going all in with In-Lines. To understand this, I need to know why shooters chose an in-line over a side lock in the first place. Unfortunately, people thought I was judging them. And maybe you are correct, maybe I don't belong here. I don't have the patience with thin skinned people who judge me without understanding what I'm trying to do.
