So...what is the purpose of muzzleloading? It loads from the muzzle, and has a seperate ignition source. What's the big deal? Is it the speed? That's kind of hypocritical coming from a person with Mathews4life as a name. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of bow hunting? Its faster than a long bow or recurve.

Still only get one shot... probably kick quite a bit.

[TreeWalker]

It's a good thing somebody didn't shoot down the gas engine......probably thought back then that it would defeat the purpose of the horse and buggy !!

It's called progress....we should embrace it, not condemn it.....nobody is stopping you from shooting an ol' smoke pole, just like nobody is stopping me from owning a horse and buggy.....I would just rather drive my truck......

[Adjam5]

That IS progress. Welcome it. It is still basically a smokepole. A MAGNUN one at that! Price is the only thing that will hold people back. What I believe one would pay for is ALL the Research and Development that they put into making this beast. They have to get it back somehow. Besides do you think the materials in that gun warrant that price tag? You pay for all R&D and some profit too.

"5600 ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle"

Somebody else can shoot this thing, LOL. My God that thing has to get your attention when you turn it loose.

this is just another gun in the arsenal of choice

I shot a 454 a friend used in Africa, that kicked like a mule..cant imagine what this would shoot like..

i stated my opinion and thats all it is....guess if i had 20000 post my opinion would be just that and would get no grief for it. i am one of many who shoot the in line style muzzleloaders and i could give a flip who shoots what i just made the statement in that if i'm goin to be muzzleloading w/ somethin like that then i should just go ahead and bring a rifle........but anyway just another example of someone taking an honest mans opinion and criticizing them and their "opinion"

[hoyt19]

Great point, the guys I gun hunt with shoot smoothbore shotguns with rifled chokes, and shoot good to 75 yards as per thier ability. Looking at my Encore I double that distance. My reason for using the muzzeloader is just having one shot. For this reason is also bow hunt. I have one chance, one shot.

when one states opinions he will always be criticized........deal with it. We have all been criticized on here one time or another, thats why we all have opinions dude.

[mathews4life]

yea well you can state your opinion about my statements or anyones statements but when you can come on a site that supposed to be such a "great" place and start criticizing someone personally then thats a load of you know what

I just posted my thread based on facts you presented. If statements are not factual, I will call you or anyone else on it. I don't care how many posts someone has. Keep it real.
