I discharge mine at the end of every day regardless of the weather. Fire a few caps through it each morning and reload. I and the guys that I hunt with have all had miss fires before we started doing this, none since. A few bullets wasted is better than a miss fire or worse, a delayed fire.

I agree with this no sense in missing a animal over such a small thing . my dad And I had 92 knights and he let his sit overnight after a damp day , the next morning we got on deer he pulled up and shot , snap ! so he held on or so he thought about five seconds later boom ! blew both front legs of the deer next to the one he shot . not a pretty sight right there lucky the deer couldn't run away.

Too much risk of "no" bang.
