TheGeneral--I left some adult beverages in the refrigerator. Hope someone drinks them before their expiration date. I was born in Iowa and raised in Minnesota. I don't leave until May and I'll be back at least once a year depending on where I go next. I might get a late shotgun season tag...

I took my first whitetail on Sunday morning around 9:30. I was fortunate to spend the opening days of the muzzleloader season with some very good people from Iowa Whitetail and was even assisted with the field dressing/skinning/quartering process. The adrenaline was rushing so my pace count...

I took your advice and registered on the CVA site. I've been reading on and on about Bore Butter. I guess my "theory" was just that. There are too many people there having problems doing what I considered was standard practice in the BP community. I'm going home to take care of my...

Don't get me wrong. I totally agree that trapping a corrosive substance under a layer of bore butter is certain to do long-term damage. However, a hot rinse and then a solvent bath followed by another hot rinse should have rid my barrel of that corrosive substance (which is indeed found in...

Now, I'm no scientist but isn't rust "iron-oxide"? If you coat a bore with liquified melted Bore Butter, aren't you basically putting a wax seal all the way down the barrel? Wouldn't that seal out the oxygen required to make "iron-oxide"? Previously posted by bowmaker in my first thread...

Is Thompson Center No. 13 a plastic solvent as well as a black-powder solvent? Shirts-N-Shooters in Le Mars convinced me to buy it based on the fact that it was BOTH. I just fired my T/C Omega for the first time this weekend and the stuff worked great but didn't encounter much in the line of...

Well, it was a long weekend. I had two whole days off in a row and didn't know what to do with myself. I had a Nikon "Team Realtree) 2-7X32 scope put on my T/C Omega. Te camo almost perfectly matches the camo on the stock and barrel of my gun. I did some shooting with a friend out in...

I appreciate all the good advice. I bought a bunch of 180 gr Hornady SXT saboted bullets. I was told by an acquaintance that the rate of twist in the Omega causes the gun to "prefer" some of the heavier bullets. I'm wondering if I should buy some of the heavier stuff. I know I need to buy a...

[ QUOTE ] ,many belive the 209s with powder accually are pusing the powder charge and bullet forward before they ignite completly. [/ QUOTE ] Is this true or myth? I've never heard of this before. I just bought some Triple-7 powder and am going to give it a whirl with some Hornady XTP...

I won't cast any judgement upon someone who watches a wounded animal walk by. However, I can't do it. We're all out in the woods for different reasons. Some want a trophy and have WORKED very hard for it throughout the year. I could care less if I walk away with a trophy or a doe or a buck...

I am thinking about spreading out my Oct-Dec vacation this year to include a couple of days of hunting in Nebraska. I'm thinking about springing for the expensive Winnebago Tribe license to hunt in their reservation since some of my friends own 120 acres there. The herd there is HUGE...

Which Knight model are you shooting? I've heard amazing things about Knight and almost bought one but the T/C Omega intrigued me. Maybe my next one will be a Knight.

I'm going to swing over to Scheel's this afternoon and check things out and maybe see if they can order that book for me. If not, I'll find it online. I heard rumor that there is an impending black powder shortage. I heard that Triple7 is one of the types that is going to be hard to get...

Hey, I just figured out how to research my old posts. Learn something new everyday. I'd still appreciate any recommended resources for study. Scheel's really had nothing to look at in the way of books or videos.

I posted something like this awhile back but I had to format my hard drive and lost the file where I saved all the replies. I'm sorry if I'm repetitive. I'm a newbie to the muzzleloading arena. I've never touched off a "smoke pole" but I went and bought me a T/C Omega with the camo barrel...

buckinrut--Nah...us Dutch folk are known for our unbiased opinions on where to spend our money and what kind of food is "good food". We ain't cheap neither. Anybody recommend anything in the Sioux City area?

I like the idea of using a handgun on a hunt. I took a S&W 686 loaded with some Winchester Supreme hunting ammo two seasons ago. I was going to use it for close-range work and my shotgun for anything beyond 35 yards or so. I was very confident with that revolver but forgot to reload it...

I'm going to start by saying that I will not mention the names of any bowshopes in order to protect the innocent. I've been to a few bow shops over the last few months just checking things out. I was curious about my draw length so I pick up one of those bows used to measure draw length. I draw...

I'm no archery expert but I've been in a few archery shops over the last year and the rest that seems to be the rave is the "Whisker-Biscuit".

I appreciate everyone's input. I was thinking about limb savers, stabilizer, and a string silencer plus a soft case. What is everyone's opinion on the best stabilizer and limb savers? The fellows at Scheel's told me that the Predator is exclusively a Scheel's product. I'm guessing my T/C...
