Primitive Weapon

Do any of you remember primitive weapon hunting? Ole Betsey from a kit, powder horn, flints and hornet nest wadding, roundball, open sights? My how things have changed,
We get to start next Saturday, I guess I will be the only one on the mountain still using Ole Betsey, open sights. I have mellowed out a little and went to ready loads and factory slugs. Good luck to all, it is the joy of the woods and the hunt that keeps old folks climbing trees

Oh yeah, I remember. My daughter took my TC last year, so I used the old side hammer Thompson. I didn't shoot anything, but it sure brought back some good memories.

I've resisted any urge to "upgrade?" my muzzleloader hunting, I'm in the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' camp. I'm still hunting with my CVA Kentucky 45 and a 54 TC Renegade....

I still have the old cva with a magic swiveling front sight. Those were the times alright… but no I don’t miss missing. I do miss that Austin Halleck I bought after “using” that cva though.
