Im new to muzzeloading here in Western Washington. I am going on a Elk hunt here next fall and trying to put a rig together and get proficient between now and next fall.. We have to use open sights and open ignition. That being said, Im leaning heavily towards traditional sidelock .54 cal patched round ball.
Ive never hunted with open sights. Ive been hunting with modern scoped centerfire for years . What is a realistic upper limit range for open sights with old eyes? LOL
From what Im able to gather .54cal PRB can be quite accurate to 150 yds which Im thinking is the upper limit for open sights.
Thanks ,Kevin
