I am a 60 year old man who has been hunting all my life. Started muzzleloader hunting in the late 80's with a side hammer. Moved to an inline with #11 percussion cap in the 90's. Purchased a CVA Optima in 2006 using Blackhorn 209 and shotgun primers and love it. Bought a new Traditions Buckhorn this summer and had problems from the start that they won't stand behind. Back to CVA I guess.
