Wrap a piece of masking tape around a GT II and slice a mark into the tape. Remove and measure. This will give you the exact measurement needed. I found one batch of 1.25" wrap from one supplier overlapped while another didn't because it was cut narrower. Cut your new 1.25" wraps with a s...

A Savage 93FV .22 mag is on the way to the range in about an hour.

I'm hoping the old yotes haven't built up any defence to this treatment.

Muzzleloader doe

What a season for me so far. Harvested my first deer, a doe with my Phoenix at 30 yards out of my blind November 1st; http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j308/Bowster/100_0791.jpg and another doe with my TC Triumph muzzleloader at 75 yards November 20th. http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j308/Bowster/...

My first deer....a doe

Finally, in my 3rd year of hunting took my first deer. A doe. It all happened so fast didn't even have time for my nerves to take over. Set up in my blind shortly after 7 on Saturday morning and unleashed a few bursts of the Buck Bomb. Was in my blind for no more than 30 minutes and heard lots of ac...

I purchased mine about 3 years ago for turkey and love it. I've had excellent patterns out to 50 yards with its extra full choke and #5 shells. The only problem I've had since was finding a rifled barrel for deer. Can't find one locally and you can't have one shipped from the US. Have since given up...

I have a set of the 10 x 36 and love them.

The optics are great and I don't find them very bulky. Can still fit them in the pocket of my jacket...

Thanks all. Have looked at the websites and a lot of good reading material. I wiill also try the Shockwaves. See how they go. I'm always looking for the tighter group but was really impressed with the accuracy of the gun. Last weekend was the first time shooting a ML and I think I'm hooked yet again...

Thanks Cossack,

It appears from the data on that site that on average looking at a 5-6" holdover between 100 and 200 yds.

It's unfortunate that there isn't more ballistic information out there for ML's.

Will have to try and get to the range to be sure.

O/T Muzzelloader Balistics

Triggers and Bows had 2 in stock yesterday. After our visit I think sold out.

$69 + tx.

The case needs some adjustment of the padding from the way they are bagged for shipping.

Lots of room for all accessories.

Nice to have some padded protection for my toy.

It's tough to pick just one picture.

I like the full deer presentation by Schnarrfuss and would place my vote with him.

I'm sure next year the voting will be even tougher.
