Sorry guys I messed up, "on 150-200 yard killing shots with these weapons
..........".

As far as PA, had a relation that was involved in helping to setup their
rules for type of guns to be used, igntion, propellant, projectile, etc. We
had talked about it on a visit to PA, at the time I was President of the
Colorado State Muzzle Loading Assn.

Got home went to the Colorado State Shoot in Leadville, at the Sat night
campfire I made mention of PA having "Flintlock" only in the conversation.
Someone overheard this, thought the State Assn was going to try and take
away precussion guns and one of the 100% membership clubs quit the State
Assn. right then!!!!

Since that time and 14-15 years of decated service to the State Assn. I have
been quite about types of: igntion, patched round ball, etc., (had to do
some serious ass kissing to get that club back over the years).  Then here
comes this in-line thing and these fools writing how good they are and
everyone and their dog are interested, as Kirk and others have mentioned,
another season and in a good weather one at that, so much for a primitive
weapons season if we are not on our toes.

Its hard to change the rules back once these groups get in, so be careful
and protect your season with writing your state senators, congressman and
lobby your Moose & Goose Departments.

Buck
