It is a Muzzleloader but it is Scoped
« on: September 26, 2012, 12:48:19 PM »
For Idaho's regular deer season

I had some time this mrning so I took the Super DISC and headed to the farm to get a little recreational shooting in. Forgot the darn camera so I can not show you the setup.

I set clay pigeons at 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 yards, plus I dropped a target at 100 yards.  I really that this setup would keep me entertained for a good part of the morning.

I was shooting off my portable fold up shooting bench with a Caldwell Rock  and a Jr. Rock on the back.  It was great moring to shoot 60* and little wind which is not the norm at the farm but it was welcomed...

I began the shooting working on the birds from 50 to 150 yards.  It was a bunch of fun.

After that I went to the target just to check the 100 yard elevation.  Since I use a 3" PBR I wanted to be between 2.75 and 3" above the POI that allows me to dead at about 170 yards.

Shot the first group, made a scope adjustment of 6 clicks to move the bullet right and shot the second group.

Not the best groups in the world but for myself I can live with that shooting a deer.

So I pronumce the gun ready for the Idaho rifle deer season.
Keep shooting muzzleloaders - They are a blast!!

I sure wish Washington would let us use scopes. I guess that's why we love Idaho.  :tup: Nice shooting too.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

I guess I'm missing something then. I didn't know we could use scopes on muzzleloaders in this state at all.

Yeah, you can use scopes, 209 primers, closed breach muzzleloaders all you want with a modern rifle tag during modern season.  :tup:
