Here’s a great story I found on the web today. An Iowa conservation officer freed a Bald Eagle from being stuck on a tree with one shot… using a muzzleloader! Talk about an amazing shot!
Sandholdt bent a tree sapling over to use as a brace. He used the muzzleloader’s scope to take aim, and the bullet traveled 60 to 70 feet, cleanly through the edge of the knothole. Sandholdt figures he hit the talon, too.
This is probably old news by now and I can’t believe I missed it! But, Smith and Wessen recently purchased Thompson Center. http://ir.smith-wesson.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=90977&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=942841&highlight=
Well, it’s that time of year again… the holidays. Most business essentially stops and there’s not much news to report.
However, rifling through some news stories on the web, I came across this story about a blind teen hunter.

You’ve got to give that kid credit.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

I’ve heard of Black Powder being ignited by Static Electiricity… but apparently, Black Powder can even be ignited by the mear friction of pouring it from one containter to another
It was ignited, James Connell said, by the mere friction created pouring it from a paper sack….
