    telescopic sight definition

    i hunt in area 1B, erie co. it came with the red green combo. it would probably be best to just return to those sights and not make my life harder. just need to figure out my frizzen now. thank you

    poor frizzen spark

    i use something in a red can. this oldtimer gave me a pill bottle of it last year. it is ffff. he only shoots FL so im assuming its the right stuff. it shot fine the past 2 years but it dosnt throw much of a spark like 1 maybe 2 sparks every 3 or 4 strikes. my uncles is like a grinder shower

    poor frizzen spark

    these are all great tips. i have not tried the "upside down" flint but will do so. i didnt know if sanding it or taking to a wire wheel would help? i know i have been told not to let it get too hot or it may lose its temper. the video you are referring to i believe i found on youtube. blue...

    poor frizzen spark

    sadly nothing fancy here. i have a Traditions Deerhunter .50cal. im sure bottom of the line but it shoots pretty true when it does. i use the flints that are like brownish amber color. looks like chipped stone. i have never tried the tc ones but i was told not to those are the black squares

    poor frizzen spark

    any suggestions to get better spark? i tried replacing the flint, no such luck. gun sparks when it feels like it even on the dryest of days. is there anything i can do to the frizzen surface other than brazzing or tacking hardened steel to it. i think i can pick up a new one for under $30 but id...

    telescopic sight definition

    i hunt in erie county up on the lake. i think the rules would still apply there. im just caught up on wording. it says telescopic sights unlawful but peep sight ok. it does not mention a non telescopic retical. like a red dot

    magnum loads

    i couldnt agree more about the clean kill. we have found multiple deer that have died from a wound in our area and its disgusting to think why it got left like that. that is the last thing i would want to do. thank you again

    magnum loads

    thank you for all that. it makes more sense. it may be wise to keep shots under 200yds simply for knockdown and accuracy.

    Best Muzzleloader cleaning procedure

    i have been taught to use hot hot water and dawn dish soap. scrub it all down and air dry. i use lucas gun oil on all external and moving parts. once the barrel is dry i was told to run cloth with bore butter down it but i have since learned that the butter is low quality and wont do me any...

    magnum loads

    essentially this would be aerodynamics then. a lighter load with a round or pointed tip will have better bc than a heavier flat nose sabot or a round ball
