    Jug choking

    I’ve heard about the « jug choke ». But can you still shoot a patched round ball in a barrel that have this kind of choke? If yes, does it affect accuracy? I might consider a .54 cal. if it is possible. Thanks

    How about some tips you may have?

    All the nine books written by Kit Ravenshear are full of useful tips ! They were written from another time. Some techniques are obsolete (my opinion), but most of the tricks were useful for me. I got my set from Track of the Wolf years ago. Most of them are now backorder. I found the website...

    Is .45 enough for black bear?

    Traditions Kentucky Rifle Kit-Sights
