read the other day on fwc site that they are gonna change the wma dates again next season on all hunts to co inside with the private land dates for openers but they will not extend the days just move them back.
yep it was your link that i used!
I knew that,it just dawned on me that WMA's are still on the old time frame.BP season is when the magic happens around here.
Here too. Our lease is only allowing 9 days (like last year's season) for BP but I will be hunting all 9 days. I can't wait to burn some BP
anyone know anything about these Jim Shockeys powder sticks? is this just another term for powder pellet? used them? pellets are definately easier, but would like to try a cleaner burning propellant.
Ive heard a lot of pros and cons to them, Nacho. There are those that love them. Others say they are no cleaner than 777. Also heard they crumble extremely easy giving you inaccurate grain weights. And with BP guns, 2-3 grains can be a LOT of difference in accuracy. Also heard a lot of accuracy issues witht hem in general. This is coming from experienced BP shooters. I stick with 777 pellets.
If you want clean, try the BH 209. It only comes in loose powder, though. There was a guy next to me at the range last year shooting that stuff, and honestly I did not know he was shooting a BP gun until I looked over and saw him muzzle stuffing it. There is zero smoke, and he never swabbed the barrel
