Dog Bone Shaped Muzzleloading Capper

I had to write about this one… my wife thinks it’s “cute”. A dog bone shaped capper.

I have to wonder if Form Followed Function, or Function Followed Form when they designed this one. Either way, it’s a unique little tool.

Check it out here.

200 Yard rifle - Guarantee?!?

Ok, this is interesting. I’ve never seen a rifle company “Guarantee” anything like this, especially on a Muzzleloader… it’s a 200 yard accuracy guarantee on the Knight Rifles “Long Range Hunter”. It will be interesting to see if the gun holds up to it’s name.

It will be interesting to see if this rifle actually holds up to it’s guarantee. One thing it doesn’t mention however, is how they will back up the guarantee…

A warm season for Muzzleloaders in Minnesota?


tpeterson | Misc | Monday, November 27th, 2006

Well, the Muzzleloading Deer Hunting season started this weekend for Hunters in Minnesota.. and so far, it’s been relatively warm (for Minnesota that is). There’s no snow on the ground in most areas and the temp’s have been in the 40’s and 50’s for most of this week. Of course, as I’m writing this, the weather seems to be taking a turn for the worse. It’s cold, windy, and the rain is quickly turning to ice.

Looking at the 10 day forecast, it seems that there it’s only going to get worse as the week goes on…. I guess I should have gotten out to the stand on Saturday. But, with it being Thanksgiving weekend and all, we had family in town and it just wasn’t in the cards.

But, I suppose I should be happy that we have a dedicated Muzzleloading deer season at all… I’m just tired of freezing my ass off.
