Poll- non magnifying scopes on muzzle loaders?

[Oh Mah]

Sorry one more thing i'm getting out of this conversation for the last because it is far from honest,I will however come back to it to see if anyone can be honest enough with themselves to get in on this and back up some of what i said.not only on my opinions but on this 380 yard shot yarn and the comments made by the both of you on it.

How long will you be gone this time? Is this what the 3rd or 4th time you've been done with this thread?

  how is it a yarn?  Don't beat around the bush, you're calling me a lyer. By your comments you OBVIOUSLY have little experience with muzzleloaders.  I never said it was a calculated, accurate shot.  I said we had a deer that needed another bullet so he hail mary'd one and connected.  Whole point of the story was to point out how effective one of those big slow slugs still is at longer distances.  That bullet wasn't tumbling yet because it expanded some.  With a scope that is no doubt a shot that could be made with an accurate gun and skilled shooter.  LITERALLY guys are doing it and then some.  Youtube it.

I don't think BLRMAN shared that anecdote as a repeatable shot, but rather as a one-time desperation hail mary that anchored a a wounded deer. It was meant to show that the muzzleloader is lethal far beyond what is considered normal range for open-sighted muzzleloaders.

What does it matter what the drop at that range is?  Has nothing at all to do with the point of the anecdote, or the point of this thread. 

Edited to add:  You totally stole my thunder Karl.

THANK YOU!!!!!  I've been scratching my head trying to figure out why he keeps arguing it.  Thought maybe I worded it strange or something.

bull.this fight was over inlines only a couple years ago.inline were fought by people that did not think they were primitive enough all goes together in this thread,i will keep arguing for hunters that want to change the sport for the better.i dont want the fight i want all hunters to work together.the hunters that want their way and only their way for no good reason is a problem

Btw your last sentence perfectly describes you

 

[Karl Blanchard]

Not relevant to the topic but thought it was a cool video, some real data, and some impressive shooting

[Karl Blanchard]

And more on topic.  When you continue to allow tech creep into our primitive weapons, you end up with modern rifles.  How many late season general seasons do you think we would get if this was more the norm?  Otc doe  hunts?

haha!  I'll never say no to Johnny cash

What about the guy who can't draw a bow...should he have accommodations made just because he wants to hunt the archery season or should he pick up a rifle?

If he can't draw a bow due to disabilities, accommodations are made. He can use a crossbow during archery seasons. 

You got me. I totally spaced this out. Flush my thoughts down the toilet. I'll be twisting turrets on my 1x muzzy scope before sundown(see what I did there?)

Actually he made it 8 minutes.
