The NW Florida muzzleloader season is this weekend. So after I got back a few weeks ago from the central zone ML hunt, I dropped one of my guns while cleaning it. I had hunted in the rain so I needed to pull the forearm off the gun to clean it. When I did the barrel and assembly crashed to the ground and knocked the scope loose. Since then I took the scope mounts and rings off and replaced them to be safe. I remounted the scope, and re-bore sighted. I am switching to shockwaves from powerbelts anyway so it is a good excuse to head up to the range for some bench time. I have a laser bore sighter, and amazingly it was pretty close when I checked it

The sound of your favorite muzzleloader bouncing off of concrete is one of those sounds that instills in your brain and you have nightmares about. 🙁

Will post a range report tomorrow afternoon

i heard those bore sights are not worth the crap.. thats just what im told.. you have to resight for every typ of bullet you will use to hunt.. when i used the 180gr bullets i was not even on the peper at 100 yards.. but when i went to the 150gr i was dead bullseye. so how would you adjust a bore sight to the bullet you use?

Lazer bore sighters are only to get you close or on the paper. you gotta shot it to fine tune to your ammo. the kind I have is not very accurate
