I plan on using this on a deer hunt this year. I purchased it kind of new to muzzle loading. I've put a scope on it and started shooting. I'll tell you what it is fun to shoot and accurate as heck. It is very flat shooting and I am very confident it will seal the deal for me this year. I like how it feels when shouldered and how dang accurate it is. The only down fall and maybe I'm a whimp is that it's a little heavy when freehand shooting. This muzzleloader will help me reach out there and smack one of those smart bucks this year no doubt.
