You never know Billy. I had a beauty buck walk up behind me from down wind this morning. I was on the ground. Better morning for him than me...... Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

They are not the same but should be treated the same as far as distances you shoot a deer with. I don't like anything over 40 yds with mine. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Squirells are the lake trout of the woods! Shoot em up Matt! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Dead quiet for me here in 8m also. Four shots so far. Nothing close. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

I have no idea why guys think they can be used for long shots. Is it because they are classified as a muzzleloader? I'm not sure. After buying one and shooting it before hunting with it, i figured out really quick that you need to treat it as a bow. Unfortunately, there are people that will go buy one and not be responsible.

Let me start by saying I use a crossbow in the woods. Crossbows need to be treated the same as a bow when shooting a deer. Guys that think long shots are ok to take are irresponsible! You can hit a bullseye at 75 yards no problem with them but there are too many variables in the woods. You should not be taking shots any further with a crossbow than you do with a compound. Deer still jump the string due to the fact they are loud when they go off. Don't punish the crossbow hunters that are responsible and only take responsible shots.

Tell your son congrats Bill! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United

Not me either. I'm at work. I'm interested to hear who the culprit is.

The working part sucks but the holiday pay and 5 days off after that make up for it.

I feel your pain Dave. I'm here the next three days...........

Most of the deer I shot with them dropped but the two that I shot with them that ran, I was lucky they dropped in eye sight. Tracking would have been difficult!

I used to use powerbelts. They flew fine for me but they fragmented and did not mushroom out at all. I also found very little blood if the deer took another step. With my new Muzzleloader, I use Blackhorn 209 powder with Hornaday STX 45 caliber 250 grain bullets with MMP sabots. Amazing grouping at 100 yds with that combo. Make sure you can shoot Blackhorn out of your muzzleloader before buying it. I had to buy a modified breech plug to shoot it out of my CVA Accura V2. If you do not have a modified breech plug, you may get hang fires.
