Hi All,
This will be my first muzzeloader but not the first time I've used one (buddy had a TC Triumph Bone Collector). I've been reading the forums and doing my research, and I'm leaning towards a knight ultra-lite. I just have a couple concerns.
The first one is the recoil. My wife will be using this gun and she weighs probably 100 pounds. It being such a light gun I'm not sure if shooting it will scare her. I'll obviously try to use less powder, I'm still a little nervous for her. What are your thoughts?
Also, this will be used mainly in states that don't allow optics, so i will end up putting on a williams peep sight. On Knights website it gives you the option Without Sights (no drilled holes and tapped holes with no sights) with the other option being With Sights (drilled and tapped holes with sights installed). I assume i need the latter, but thats almost a 500 dollar charge just to have the holes drilled. Is that correct? I'm not a gunsmith so i don't know what that takes to do that, but that seems kind of expensive.
My last concern, and i apologize for the novel, is getting a hold of customer service. I found a number for them and its just a recording telling you to email them. I did email them with no response (granted it was only 24 hours ago). I just think its weird that i can't talk to a representative over the phone and ask my questions. It makes me question whether or not i should even buy from them.
Thank you for reading and if you have any input or advice, I'm all ears.
