I've been using Lone Wolf sticks for a few years now, and I love them. 32", light, and very packable. I know the muddy sticks come with ropes (used to anyways), but I dont mind the straps on the LW sticks at all. Wrap them in hockey tape and they are much better to handle. The only downside...

Took the gun to the range again today after you guys gave me your advice.. Started by running an alcohol pad down the barrel to clean the oil out, then a dry patch, then fired one primer. Loaded the gun with 100 gr. and a Barnes T-EZ 290gr with a harvester crush rib sabot (which pushes down the...

Sucks when it happens that way! Got any more pictures of him?

Awesome buck!

I wear 400 gram boots inside my HBS when the temps are in the teens and never have an issue. I usually break mine out with the temp is 30 or below..

Thought I would share.. I moved to Iowa 3 years ago, and have been slowly been getting permission on better properties, getting a little more time to hunt, and I finally connected on my first Iowa buck earlier this season. I was really wanting to kill a doe or two early in the season to put...

In Van Buren County.. Saw something go blowing by about 15 mins ago, but it was moving so fast, I didn't get a good look at it..

Do you use the black ones or the red ones? I know they say the red ones are for smokeless powder, but I read an article online that suggested the red ones for loose powder like blackhorn, and the black sabots if you shoot pellets.

Anyone here use them? Last year I used the Hornady SST bullets and they slid down the barrel VERY easily, but this year I switched to the Barnes T-EZ bullets, and I've noticed that even though they are supposed to be easier to push than the other Barnes bullets, they are significantly harder to...

My other thread got me thinking - to the guys that use BH209 in their muzzleloaders (and guys that shoot rifles), how do you go about cleaning the barrel? I know most guys suggest just regular Hoppes No. 9, but I'm curious what your "routine" is. I have never been a rifle guy, so I don't...

I have one more pack of the Barnes bullets and I will go out again next Saturday and shoot some more and do a little more experimenting. I'll try swabbing between shots with just alcohol and dry patches and leave the seasoning patches at home. I'd like to see there be no difference between a...

I started shooting the Blackhorn so that I wouldn't have to swab between shots.. I used to shoot Triple 7 and would have to swab all the time, and if I didn't, I would get major accuracy issues. I love that I don't have to swab between shots, I just didn't realize there was THAT much difference...

Thanks for the tips guys.. I was thinking part of the reason may have been because the patches I ran down it were seasoned patches, so it kind of lubed the barrel. Alcohol and dry patches would probably affect the trajectory much less. I was almost ready to go back to Hornady SSTs bullets...

Hey guys - see if someone can help me out here. Girlfriend and I went to sight in our muzzleloaders today. Both shooting the same setup - Thompson Center Impact, Barnes Expanders T-EZ 290gr, and 100 grains by volume of Blackhorn 209 powder. First shot with mine was way off, but then I...

Can anyone give me a report of how the shoot was? I was thinking about going to it, but thats quite a drive for me, so I'd like to hear some reviews before making the trip next time.
