Looking at a Muzzel Loader

[shag]

I have a 50 cal and a 54 cal both are hammer lock and I don't really like them too much, I have sighted them in several times and when it comes to hunting I cannot hit what I'm shooting at with them.

This year (07) I had a Winston ML tag and missed 4 times at different elk all within 60 yds, after missing I wanted to wrap them around a tree but I figured I would go back to the pit and see what is wrong.

If I had it to do over I would buy an in line something or other that is way easier to clean in the field.

So I guess that would be my suggestion is to find something you can easily clean in the field so your accuracy does not suffer after 1 or 2 shots.

Just wondering if you've tried peep sights yet?   When I first started with the muzzyloader I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn.

Was gonna throw the damn gun away.   The guy at the shop I bought it at saw my frustration and threw a peep sight at me and said get outa here.      Yea life is good for meep with a peep sight.

Also a big huge plus one on the TC Firehawk!  Best ever!!

I love my bighorn eventhough I missed a 130 yard shot on Sunday. Shot right over it, the classic holding too high on a steep downhill shot. Anyway, I got mine last spring, thumbhole stock, what I did was I bought the Williams peep and a red front optic sight instead of the green one it comes with.Being a geezer like MRay my eyes melted the rear reds with the front green to a fine blurry line. The peep is awesome and I much prefer the red over the green front it comes with.
