I’m not taking any pictures and posting them but I will say that I’m happy to see I’m not the only one with a closet that looks like that. As a matter of fact the 12 foot walk-in closet wasn’t big enough so she turned an entire spare bedroom into a closet and it’s pretty much a disaster.. I...

I can’t wait until my grandson is old enough for me to take him. He’s 2 now and one of his first words was “deer”. He will have a blast!

Thanks for the replies! It was actually the midway sale that got me thinking about getting the electronic muffs.

Looking for some opinions on hearing protection. I recently had my hearing tested and have lost a considerable amount in my left ear. I’ve mainly just used ear plugs while shooting but I think I need to look into something better. It seems like the electronic ones may be the way to go but I have...

Just curious if any of you will be at the 2020 nwtf convention in Nashville this year? This will be my 3rd year attending and we really enjoy it.

I should have explained more on the weight by volume vs weighing your charge. These will not be the same. 100 grains by volume of Blackhorn 209 is only 70 grains by weight. You may have already knew this but I’ll sleep better knowing I explained it.

Just curious if anyone has used the M-CARBO spring kit for the Encore pro hunter? The video is pretty straight forward and doesn’t seem complicated to install the different springs. I love the encore muzzleloader but the trigger pull is a bit heavy for my liking.

Clean you muzzleloader like you would any other firearm. There’s no need to use any special muzzleloader cleaning solutions. Companies make a lot of money from this stuff that is completely useless. I’ve seen bore butter ruin several muzzleloaders. It used to be marketed as a natural barrel...

Thanks for the welcome and I appreciate the heads up.

Just wanted to say hello from the hills of Southern Indiana. I’ve been an avid hunter and shooter for most of my 46 years. I’ve found a lot of useful information here and thought I might as well join. I’ve spent most of my time shooting archery and muzzleloaders but in the last 6 years my...
